The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy

Issue 28: General Issue

The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy (JITP) seeks scholarly work at the intersection of teaching, learning, and research with technology. We invite both textual and multimedia submissions employing interdisciplinary and innovative approaches in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Besides scholarly papers, submissions can consist of audio or visual presentations and interviews, dialogues, or conversations; creative/artistic works; manifestos; or other scholarly materials and/or methodologies, including work that addresses the labor and care considerations of teaching and creating projects with digital technology.

Brief Guidlines for Submission

Research-based submissions should include discussions of approach, method, and analysis. When possible, research data should be made publicly available and accessible via the Web and/or other digital mechanisms, a process that JITP can and will support as necessary. Successes and interesting failures are equally welcome. Given the journal’s pedagogical focus, submissions should balance theoretical frameworks with practical considerations of how new technologies play out in both formal and informal educational settings. Discipline-specific submissions should be written for non-specialists.

For further information on style and formatting, accessibility requirements, and multimedia submissions, consult JITP’s accessibility guidelines, style guide, and multimedia submission guidelines.

Submission and Review Process

All work appearing in the Issues section of JITP is reviewed by the issue editors and independently by two scholars in the field who provide formative feedback to the author(s) during the review process. We practice signed, as opposed to anonymous or so-called blind, peer review. We intend that the journal itself—both in our process and in our digital product—serves as an opportunity to reveal, reflect on, and revise academic publication and classroom practices.

As a courtesy to our reviewers, we will not consider simultaneous submissions, but we will do our best to reply to you within three months of the submission deadline. The expected length for finished manuscripts is under 5,000 words or an equivalent length or scope for timed or other forms of media (e.g. roughly 20–25 minutes of dialogue, 45 minutes of a spoken presentation, etc.). Both text-based and multimedia should be prepared to undergo review for their relationship to scholarly and related conversations, as well as undergo revision. All work should be original and previously unpublished. Essays or presentations posted on a personal blog may be accepted, provided they are substantially revised; please contact us with any questions at admin@jitpedagogy.org.

Important Dates

Submission deadline for full manuscripts is November 15, 2025. Please view our submission guidelines for information about submitting to the Journal.

This issue is slated for publication in May 2026.

Sections of the Journal

JITP runs on two overlapping timescales, to accommodate both traditional and evolving models of peer review:

Issues

Issues operate on a measured pace, with block releases timed to allow for extensive peer review and revision before publication. Submissions to this section receive formative feedback from two scholars in the field, and Issue Editors work with authors to bring accepted pieces to their fullest potential. The best submissions to this section will demonstrate sustained engagement with the relevant scholarship of teaching, learning, and technology, as well as a critical awareness of their own strengths and limitations. We currently plan to release two issues per year, with some themed issues and others drawn from the general submissions pool. For information on submitting to issues, please see our submission guidelines. Our Issue Editors can be contacted at editors@jitpedagogy.org and our Managing Editor can be contacted at admin@jitpedagogy.org.

Short Form Sections

Released continuously throughout the year, JITP’s Short Form sections (described below) operate on a publish-first-then-peer-review model, with corresponding editors curating submissions on a rolling basis. Please note that our Short Form sections are published independently of our Issues. Submissions that do not conform to short forms prescriptions will not be reviewed.

Please view our submission guidelines for information about submitting to the Journal. There are no article processing charges (APC) or submission charges for any section of the Journal.
