Journal of Applied Research in Workplace E-Learning


There is a new e-journal entitled: Impact: Journal of Applied Research in Workplace E-learning that is now published at http://journal.elnet.com.au/impact

The inaugural issue, the theme of which is "Current issues and future directions in workplace e-learning: Mapping the research landscape", is a 'bumper' issue containing no less than 14 refereed articles written by authors from France, the UK, Ireland, the USA and Australia.

The publication frequency of Impact will increase to bi-annual in 2010, followed by quarterly in 2011 and subsequent years. Manuscript submissions are now being accepted via the online submission system for the first regular issue of the journal (Vol 2, No 1 - to be published in July 2010) - Please see the "About" section of the journal's Web site for information about the journal's focus and scope as well as detailed guidelines for authors.

The second issue of Impact in 2010 (Vol 2, No 2), which will be published in December, is intended to be a special, themed issue on the topic of e-learning evaluation and transfer. More details, including a formal Call for Papers, will be made available in early 2010.

I registered for free subscription and reviewed some of the articles. Although intended as an application in the workplace the information contained in the articles provides good information on learning and some of the applications could be suitable for culinary arts and hospitality education.  The full text of all 14 articles is available free once register at http://journal.elnet.com.au/index.php/impact/user/register.

The Editor-in-Chief is Mark J.W. Lee who is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer, School of Education, Charles Sturt University, impactjournal@elnet.com.au
