About this journal

***JIME is currently focusing on a number of Special Collections - there are currently two calls for papers, see announcements below for more details - and therefore the journal is currently closed to general submissions.***

JIME is a peer reviewed open access online journal in educational technology that focuses on the implications and use of digital media in higher or post-compulsory education.  It aims to foster a multidisciplinary and intellectually rigorous debate on both the theory and practice of interactive media in higher or post-compulsory education.  JIME was launched in September, 1996.

    Social Media in Higher Education: What’s happening?

    JIME is pleased to announce our latest Special Collection, Social Media in Higher Education: What’s happening?

    The articles in this special collection are a response to a recent call for papers which turned the famous Twitter interface prompt - ‘What’s happening?’ – on to the broader field of social media. The rapid changes of leadership and policy at Twitter in the process of its rebranding and re-emergence as X have precipitated migration and uncertainty, and highlighted the precarity of relying on corporate infrastructure to support public scholarship. In this special collection, a series of papers examine different aspects of current social media practices in higher education, from its relationship to academic identity, to research and teaching.

    Guest editors: Katy Jordan and Mark Carrigan

    Interdisciplinarity in Open Technology-Enhanced Learning

    JIME is pleased to announce our latest Special Collection, Interdisciplinarity in Open Technology-Enhanced Learning, is now available to read.

    The issue brings together work by researchers both inside and outside the Open Technology Enhanced Learning (OpenTEL) group that relate to themes explored over the last five years and demonstrating how they can be applied across disciplines. Together, the papers highlight major barriers to learning – lack of resources, unequal access to resources, limited access for people with disabilities, growing recognition of the scale of mental health issues – and identify ways of reducing these barriers in TEL contexts.

    Guest editors: Eileen Scanlon and Rebecca Ferguson
