Each month we monitor and select from a number of information technology and instruction technology sources that come to our attention and provide brief notes for electronic dissemination to educators. This online peer-reviewed journal covers the theoretical and practical aspects of interactive media in education. JIME does not have a chronological concept of an issue, but, rather, publishes articles for open peer review as they are received.
Submissions are available for online peer review for about a month.
Both papers and reviewers' comments are posted on the Web, allowing readers to trace the flow of the review process and add their own comments as well. The Open University is Britain's largest educational and training organization. It is open to any adult living in the UK or other member states of the European Union, with teaching materials that are delivered to the students in their own homes or places of work by mail, by computer, and via national BBC broadcasts. The institute's interests include knowledge systems, multimedia enabling technologies for disabled people, advanced telematics, virtual classrooms, customizable authoring tools, virtual science laboratories, intelligent agents, and training on demand. Although several library digitization projects are concentrating on making rare and precious books and manuscripts available to scholars in electronic form, high-tech preservation is also essential for less lofty literature.
