Aim and Scope

Aim

The Journal of Learning Innovation and Educational Technology (JLIET) aims to advance scholarly knowledge, theory, and practice in learning innovation and educational technology through the publication of rigorous and impactful research. The journal provides an international platform for researchers, educators, instructional designers, policymakers, and practitioners to disseminate original empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and evidence-based studies addressing emerging developments and challenges in contemporary education.

JLIET aims to promote interdisciplinary research on innovative pedagogies, digital learning, educational technology, artificial intelligence, learning analytics, and emerging technologies that contribute to the transformation of teaching and learning. The journal particularly seeks studies that demonstrate methodological rigor, theoretical contribution, empirical evidence, and meaningful implications for improving learning outcomes, educational quality, accessibility, inclusivity, and sustainability across diverse educational contexts.

Through these contributions, JLIET seeks to foster international scholarly dialogue and support evidence-informed innovation in education in response to technological advancement and the evolving needs of learners, educators, and educational institutions.

Out of Scope

Manuscripts are generally outside the journal's scope when they:

  • address educational administration without a substantive connection to learning innovation or educational technology;
  • discuss general social, cultural, or educational issues without a clear technological or learning innovation component;
  • present pure computer science or software engineering research without meaningful educational applications or implications;
  • report technology development without evaluating its relevance, impact, or contribution to teaching and learning; or
  • focus primarily on non-educational technological applications.
