eLearning+Journals

The publication of scholarly research in academic journals is a careful process. Traditional paper-based journals could require as much as 2 years from the time an article is submitted until it is available to the general academic community. With the development of online journals the publication cycle is much shorter which is an important consideration in field that is emerging as quickly as elearning. To determine the academic merit of a source use a tool like the Source Educational Evaluation Rubric developed by TurnItIn.

The journals listed below are part of my personal collection of resources. They are all free and open access. You may have to register for some but you shouldn't have to pay. You can gain access to a paid subscription journals through the institutional library databases.

The internet is a vast source of information. The quality varies widely and some information is inaccurate, wrong, biased and malicious. Developing the capacity to evaluate internet based resources is an advance scholarly competency. You can start with the C.R.A.P. test test the currency, reliability, authority and purpose of any web resource. http://www.mchs.net/mchslib/lessons/evaluation.htm Henry, A. (2013).
