"Educational Technology & Society"
(ISSN 1436-4522)

Educational Technology & Society seeks academic articles on the issues
affecting the developers of educational systems and educators who implement
and manage such systems. The articles should discuss the perspectives of
both communities and their relation to each other:
* Educators aim to use technology to enhance individual learning as well
as to achieve widespread education and expect the technology to blend
with their individual approach to instruction. However, most educators
are not fully aware of the benefits that may be obtained by proactively
harnessing the available technologies and how they might be able to
influence further developments through systematic feedback and suggestions.
* Educational system developers and artificial intelligence (AI) researchers
are sometimes unaware of the needs and requirements of typical teachers,
with a possible exception of those in the computer science domain. In
transferring the notion of a 'user' from the human-computer interaction
studies and assigning it to the 'student', the educator's role as the
'implementer/ manager/ user' of the technology has been forgotten.
The aim of the periodical is to help them better understand each other's
role in the overall process of education and how they may support each other.
The articles should be original, unpublished, and not in consideration
for publication elsewhere at the time of submission to Educational Technology
& Society.
The submissions are invited for the following sections:
1. Peer reviewed publications
All submitted articles for this category will be refereed by at least two
reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area.
2. Updates
This section includes book reviews, educational web site reviews, educational
forum reviews, comments, vision statements, wish lists, description of
implementations, software reviews, project overviews and any other material of
interest to the educators and developers of educational systems. The items in
this section will not be reviewed, but the editors reserve the right to reject
or (with the approval of contributors) to edit copy.
