Journals

The Jennie Lee Building, first floor

IET is home to two research journals. Founded as part of IET’s commitment to foster world-leading educational research, the journals offer continued opportunities to engage with pioneers in educational technology, open learning and other areas of innovative pedagogy in advancing knowledge and debate.

IET-based editors work with co-editors from various units and institutions, supported by international editorial boards whose members bring additional expertise and diversity. Occasional Special Issues are produced in collaboration with guest editors from around the world, in recent years from The University of Lleida, Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB, Spain), Deakin University, The University of Cape Town, The Open University of Hong Kong and South China Normal University.
