About the Journal
Mission Statement
The mission of The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy (ISSN 2166-6245) is to promote open scholarly discourse around critical and creative uses of digital technology in teaching, learning, and research. Educational institutions have often embraced instrumentalist conceptions and market-driven implementations of technology that overdetermine its uses in academic environments. Such approaches underestimate the need for critical engagement with the integration of technological tools into pedagogical practice. JITP endeavors to counter these trends by recentering questions of pedagogy in our discussions of technology in higher education. The journal also works to change what counts as scholarship—and how it is presented, disseminated, and reviewed—by allowing contributors to develop their ideas, publish their work, and engage their readers using multiple formats.
We are committed first and foremost to teaching and learning, and intend that the journal itself—both in process and in product—provide opportunities to reveal, reflect on, and revise academic publication and classroom practice.
Review Policy
We practice open, rather than anonymous or so-called “blind,” peer review. For more information on the values that led us to this transparent review process, please see the Introduction to our first issue. We believe that peer review has much to offer the academic community, and therefore all work appearing in the Issues section of JITP is reviewed independently by two scholars in the field, who provide signed, formative feedback to the author in order to produce the best quality final product.
At the same time, we also believe that the academic community has much to gain in broadening the definition of peer review, and therefore our Tool Tips, Teaching Fails, Assignments, Opinions, and Book Reviews sections operate under a publish-then-peer-review model. We invite our knowledgeable readership to join our editorial collective and esteemed board members in rich, constructive, public conversation with our authors about their ideas—and to start new conversations by becoming authors yourselves. Submissions for these sections will be accepted on a rolling basis. For more information, please see the Guidelines for Authors.
