>> Journal of Media Practice
>> Call for Papers
>> Special Issue: A Decade of Media Practice: Changes, Challenges
>> and Choices
>> The Journal of Media Practice is celebrating its 10th anniversary
>> in 2009! To mark this anniversary, the Journal is looking for
>> contributions from colleagues involved in media practice around
>> the world, whether as teachers or practitioners.
>> The current decade is witnessing vast changes in the production,
>> consumption and forms of media. With digital technology, video
>> art, documentary, film and other visual media are all going
>> through interesting changes at the institutional, artistic and
>> audience levels. Web 2.0 is blurring the lines between the
>> production and consumption of media, and is opening up new spaces
>> of expression in societies where state censorship hinders freedom
>> of speech in traditional media. It is also instigating changes in
>> web design. Satellite television is consolidating itself as the
>> primary medium in places like the Middle East. Digital radio is
>> opening up new possibilities for broadcasting. More synergies are
>> being created between different media forms, whether between the
>> internet and television, the internet and documentary, or any
>> number of other possibilities.
>> The Journal invites international contributions responding to the
>> changes and challenges in the media practice landscape over the
>> last decade, be it television, radio, video art, documentary,
>> film, screenwriting, the internet, the press, or any other form
>> of print, audio, visual or audiovisual media, and the choices
>> that those changes and challenges have created for media
>> practitioners, institutions and audiences.
>> In addition to academic articles, the Journal encourages the
>> submission of:
>> - Interviews with key media personnel and artists
>> - Reflections by media practitioners on their own practice
>> (whether within institutions or as independent practitioners)
>> - Reviews of exhibitions and other media events
>> - Critical pieces about changes in technology, content and
>> delivery of media products and tools, or the work of media
>> institutions around the world
>> Articles should be 5000 words, reviews 500-1000 words, and
>> critical pieces and reflections between 1000-3000 words. The
>> Editor is happy to discuss other possibilities with potential
>> contributors.
>> All submissions are subject to peer review. Please send all
>> submissions to [log in to unmask]

>> Special Issue of Brookes eJournal of Learning and Teaching (BeJLT)
>> on Learners’ Experiences of e-Learning.
>> BeJLT is collaborating with the ELESIG Higher Education Academy
>> Pathfinder continuation project to publish this special issue.
>> BeJLT aims to promote, enhance and disseminate research, good
>> practice, development and innovation in all aspects of learning,
>> teaching and assessment in Higher Education to its primary
>> audience of teachers, support staff, researchers and those who
>> make or influence policy and practice.
>> The current interest in evaluation of learners’ experiences of e-
>> learning is starting to provide valuable feedback on how students
>> are making use of their own and institutionally provided
>> technology to support their studies. We define e-learning broadly
>> to include any use of any technology by learners to support their
>> studies. With technology and its role in society changing so
>> fast, establishing ways of hearing the student voice is going to
>> become ever more important.
>> We welcome conceptual, methodological or empirical papers which
>> tackle one or more of the following themes:
>> - investigating the experiences of technology use by learners in
>> higher education in the UK or beyond.
>> - the development and use of innovative methodologies for
>> researching the learner experience e.g. identification and
>> sampling strategies of digitally literate and naive users, or
>> data collection tools and techniques for capturing rich voices;
>> - the process of embedding learner experience research in
>> institutional curriculum design and quality assurance processes;
>> - modelling how learners develop as effective digitally literate
>> e- learners;
>> - providing evidence informed guidance for institutions on the
>> resources and opportunities needed to support learners to make
>> good use technology.
>> All papers need to locate their work within relevant and current
>> literature. Papers may be submitted as Research papers (4000-5000
>> words), Research Notes (2000-3000 words)
>> or Opinion Pieces (1000-1500 words)
>> The special issue is being guest edited by Rhona Sharpe, Oxford
>> Brookes University and Rebecca Currant, University of Bradford.

>> understanding that the work described is not currently under
>> consideration by any other publication or has been
>> published elsewhere. Check with the guest editors if you are unsure.
