The International Journal of Learning
The International Journal of Learning provides a forum for any person with an interest in, and concern for, education at any of its levels and in any of its forms, from early childhood, to schools, to higher education and lifelong learning — and in any of its sites, from home to school to university to workplace.
The journal is relevant for academics, researchers, teachers, higher degree students, educators and educational managers and administrators – anyone with an interest in the nature and future of learning.
The International Journal of Learning is fully peer-reviewed with a rigorous refereeing process to ensure a high standard of quality. The editors and advisory board comprise leading scholars in the education field. The journal is also linked to an annual conference, The Learning Conference, which addresses a range of critically important themes relating to education today.
