The Internet and Higher Education

A Quarterly Review of Innovations in Post-secondary Education

The Internet and Higher Education is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to addressing contemporary issues and future developments related to Internet-enabled learning and teaching in higher education contexts. The journal publishes scholarly research that advances our understanding of educational uses of Internet and digital technologies and their effects on learning and teaching in higher education.

The journal publishes quality research situated in higher education settings where teaching and learning are mediated and preferably enabled by Internet and digital technologies. The key findings must inform theory, practice and/or policy, and contribute to the scholarship of Internet-enabled learning and teaching in higher education. For example, research on topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), learning analytics, professional development, and online programs, including MOOCs, must have clear implications for individuals who teach and learn in higher education institutions.

The scope of the journal is broad and encompasses a wide range of Internet-related issues and trends addressed in higher education contexts. We welcome manuscripts on topics including, but not limited to, pedagogical and technological innovations in online and blended learning, hybrid and HyFlex learning; AI-supported teaching and learning; learning analytics that advance teaching and learning; online learning interactions and collaborations; online learning communities; online assessment and feedback; approaches to online course design and development; faculty professional development for online learning and teaching; institutional and national policies and strategies to drive and support online learning and teaching; and internationalization and cultural aspects of online learning.

Across all topics, we seek to publish high-quality empirical studies with strong conceptual frameworks and rigorous methods. We also welcome systematic reviews, meta-analyses, theoretical papers, and methodological contributions that significantly advance scholarship on Internet-enabled learning and teaching in higher education.

The journal is international and interdisciplinary, inviting contributions from across the globe and from a wide range of academic disciplines. Special issues are often devoted to specific emerging areas of study and scholarly debates that benefit from a dedicated space for different voices, with guest editors assisting in the editorial process.
