The Commonwealth of Learning is pleased to be working in partnership with the Journal of Educational Media to produce a special issue of the Journal in March 2000. This publication will consist of an account of the TEL-isphere 99 conference and the six papers selected by the Journal from among the conference presentations.
The award winners were announced in Barbados at the TEL-isphere 99 conference. The authors of the papers were presented with a certificate and given a free personal subscription to the journal for the TEL-isphere issue and the remaining issues in the Year 2000 volume.
JEM provides an international refereed forum for issues focussing on research, policy and practice in the effective use of media in education and so shares many of the motivations and concerns of the TEL-isphere 99 conference.
The Journal is edited by Samantha Hobbs and Adrian Kirkwood of the Institute of Educational Technology at the UK Open University. It is published by Taylor & Francis Ltd., UK.
"Both the editors and the publishers would like to thank each of the contributing authors for their hard work in preparing and producing their respective papers, and hope that publication of your work in JEM will result in a continued and productive dialogue in your chosen field of research. Thank you once again for contributing." |
