Scope and Focus

JEO features theoretical and empirically-based research articles, critical reflection pieces, case studies, and classroom innovations relevant to technology-mediated learning (including teaching, learning, assessment, pedagogy, content and organizational issues) in higher education. Manuscripts must be appropriately grounded within relevant literature and justified with theory, evidence, and/or research; qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods are appropriate.

JEO prioritizes research that offers broadly generalizable insights into technology-mediated teaching and learning in higher education. Studies that focus on a specific discipline, population, or institutional context without clear implications beyond that setting may not align with the journal’s mission. Submissions should contribute to the wider understanding of digital pedagogy, online education, and technology-enhanced learning across diverse higher education environments. 

Target Audience

Manuscripts published in JEO are relevant to a broad audience of higher education faculty and administrators. Our audience are educators, policy-makers and students interested in the development, delivery, and management of technology-mediated learning in the Arts, Business, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Sciences and Social Sciences. Readers benefiting from JEO include full-time, part-time, face-to-face, hybrid, and online faculty. As a cross-disciplinary journal, JEO emphasizes topics and articles that are generalizable across a range of disciplines.
