Dear all, with apologies for cross-posting —
Please forward widely the following Call For Submissions (deadline extended to 5/31), which I hope will be of interest to the many writing instructors using technology toward interesting pedagogical ends.
Many thanks,
Ben
The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy, a new, peer-reviewed publication edited by students and faculty from the CUNY Graduate Center, seeks scholarly work that explores the intersection of technology with teaching, learning, and research. We are interested in contributions that take advantage of the affordances of digital platforms in creative ways.
Submissions that focus on pedagogy should balance theoretical frameworks with practical considerations of how new technologies might be employed in the classroom. Research-based articles should include discussions of approach, method, and analysis.
In addition to scholarly articles, we will consider:
* Manifestos and jeremiads: ideological statements that strongly articulate new visions of academic life and work.
* Interviews, dialogues or conversations: interviews with teachers or researchers using new tools or techniques in innovative ways; dialogues between scholars on new directions in pedagogy and research; or roundtable discussions about pedagogy, research, or academic development.
* Reviews of relevant materials in the field: descriptions and critiques of recent offerings in the field, such as new books, hardware, software, CMSes, etc.
* Assignments or exercises, classroom-based or otherwise, accompanied by critical reflection.
* Creative works: videos, animations, poems, games, photographs, presentations, etc.
On average, full-length articles range between 3,500 and 8,000 words, but more important than length is the work’s ability to engage an audience in critically reflecting on the uses of technology in academic contexts.
All submissions must be previously unpublished. We regret that we cannot consider simultaneously submitted work. You may either submit online or email your submission as a link or an attachment to JITP@gc.cuny.edu. For our complete guidelines, please go to http://ojs.gc.cuny.edu/index.php/itcp/about/submissions.
The deadline has been extended to 5/31/2011.
