About this Journal

Reflecting Digital Learning is a peer-reviewed online journal which publishes the scholarly work of early career researchers (postgraduate Masters and Doctoral students) related to digital learning. Reflecting Digital Learning welcomes contributions which are evidence-based or innovative, and which show awareness of and critical engagement with current issues in digital learning. This may include online and blended learning, design-based research related to digital learning, critical analysis of learning technologies, artificial intelligence in education, entrepreneurship related to digital learning, social media analysis related to learning, and societal impact of digital learning.

The journal will provide opportunities for current students or recent graduates to publish as first authors alone or with collaborators who may include dissertation/thesis supervisory teams, collaborating students or citizen scientists. The journal welcomes contributions which are of relevance to all phases of education and all types of provision, to digital educational leaders at all levels, to school and community teachers, to further education and professional development practitioners, to higher education tutors including teacher educators, to learning technologists and learning designers, to digital learning entrepreneurs as well as to policy makers.

The aim of the journal is:

  • to create a resource for practitioners and students within the broad field of digital learning with emergent research findings
  • act as an interdisciplinary, international forum for evidence-informed discussion and debate about digital learning, for the showcasing of excellent practice as well as for stimulating think-pieces.

In addition to more traditional academic submissions, the journal encourages submissions in the form of case studies, reflective narratives or reports on digital learning practice related in a variety of digital formats. In addition, theoretically based reviews of digital learning tools, techniques and pedagogies are welcome.

Reflecting Digital Learning is a new journal launching in 2023. The journal follows in the tradition established by its predecessor, Reflecting Education (ISSN: 1746-9082), which ran from 2005 until 2016.
