Research & Integration of Instructional Technology
Journal of Computing in Higher Education (JCHE) contributes to our understanding of the design, development, and implementation of instructional processes and technologies in higher education. JCHE publishes original research, literature reviews, implementation and evaluation studies, and theoretical, conceptual, and policy papers that provide perspectives on instructional technology’s role in improving access, affordability, and outcomes of postsecondary education. Priority is given to well-documented original papers that demonstrate a strong grounding in learning theory and/or rigorous educational research design.
What kind of model should institutions of higher education (IHEs) use as they look to utilize information drawn from the learning activities conducted with digital platforms for systemic improvement? Among the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic is the realization that instructional support technology can be used on a massive scale when needed. Platform-based teaching provides options for IHEs to respond to a range of needs, to be resilient in the face of other disasters and disruptions that may occur in the future. Platforms can also allow an IHE to extend its reach to new communities. The phrase institutional learning ecosystems borrows concepts from organizational learning to advance a broad view of how an organization connects to its stakeholders. The ecosystem framing is a contemporary approach used with communities and complex organizations—terms that couple apply to IHEs—that highlights emergent, adaptive, and responsive approaches (Wang, 2021).
JCHE is looking for paper, identifying current trends, critical challenges, and future opportunities for laboratory-based education in the context of online education efforts. Read more and submit your paper.
