Have Your Work Featured in the New Learning Communities E-Journal!

Submissions now being accepted for Washington Center’s open-access, peer-reviewed e-journal

The Washington Center for Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Education at Evergreen College is now accepting submissions for its May 2013 issue of a new open-access, peer-reviewed e-journal dedicated to Learning Communities.

The journal will have four main types of articles:

Research articles (2,000–2,500 words) focus on an issue or question, provide theoretical grounding, gather and assess evidence to address that issue or question, and use a method appropriate to that particular context.

Practices from the Field (1,000–2,500 words) describe a practice developed to address a particular issue or problem in learning communities work, including a rationale for the practice being used.

Perspectives (1,000–2,000 words) share personal and/or professional reflections on the field of learning community practice or experiences in the context of higher education.

Reviews  (500-1,000 words) highlight books and journal articles relevant to the learning community field.

The deadline for submissions is March 5, 2013 for the May 2013 issue. This is a wonderful opportunity for faculty, staff, administrators, researchers, and students involved in higher education learning communities to submit articles and get their work recognized. A complete list of instructions for authors will be available when the January issue is released.
