About the Journal
The Journal of Applied Learning and Teaching (JALT) addresses the needs of two different segments of the global higher education community, i.e. authors and readers. Specifically, JALT aims to provide higher education practitioners, up-and-coming academics (e.g. doctoral candidates) as well as established academics a one-stop platform for speedy, peer-reviewed publication.
At the same time, the journal aims to provide its readers the sharing of best academic practices (including, but not limited to, instructional practices, curriculum design, assessment and measurement, educational policy, educational technology, teaching and learning, and learning sciences) across a variety of disciplines.
Importantly, the journal is open to contributions from around the world. The editorial board consists of members from around the world and more information can be found under the About Us section.
JALT is intended to be a forum for new ideas and analyses of higher education practices.
JALT will consist of original work, reviews of existing literature, education technology reviews and book reviews.
The journal has no geographical limits and is within an international context on the broad subject of learning and teaching. Finally, JALT may have a focus on qualitative research but articles will be taken on their merit.
With reference to the acronym JALT, the Alt key opens up so many possibilities on the standard PC keyboard. ALT also denotes a version of something, especially popular music, that is intended as a challenge to the traditional version. In this vein, it is hoped that JALT will open up new frontiers and challenge conventional wisdom for the global higher education community.
