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.

    Metaphors of AI in Higher Education: Discourses, Histories and Practices

    Guest editors: Dr Eamon Costello, Dr Giselle Ferreira, Dr Kyungmee Lee and Dr Robert Farrow

    Deadline for submissions: 15th December 2024

    JIME is pleased to announce our latest call for papers on Metaphors of AI in Higher Education. 

    Metaphors can help explain AI to educators, highlighting connections to existing pedagogies or alerting us to the possibilities of new ones, although equally commentators called metaphors such as a ChatGPT “calculator for writing”, over-reductive (Lodge et al. 2023). Hence, this call for papers seeks contributors to help build a critical discourse that shows AI to be neither “artificial” nor necessarily “intelligent” but rather draws attention to authentic and affective pedagogical futures that “acknowledge the contingent nature of teaching and learning, [...] accepting that key aspects of what makes us human may always resist engineering” (Ferreira et al. 2023).

    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
