The Australasian Journal of Educational Technology (AJET) is the journal of ASCILITE, the Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education. It aims to promote research and scholarship on the integration of technology in tertiary education, promote effective practice, and inform policy. AJET welcomes previously unpublished manuscripts that advance understanding of educational technology in post-school education settings, including higher and further education, lifelong learning, and training. We consider manuscripts that present qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods studies, critical reviews or analyses, and theoretical positions. Descriptions of technology-based implementations without a strong empirical and/or conceptual base will not be considered. Manuscripts submitted to AJET are expected to be well written, as they will not be edited for English expression while under review. In addition to clearly presenting the background to the study and the results, authors must: explain the significance of the study and how it advances knowledge in an area relevant to the journal's scope; set their study within the broader research literature (this is especially important when presenting a context-specific study); if based on an empirical study, detail the methodology (including a description and justification of the approach, the research goals, aims or questions, theoretical/conceptual framework, ethics approval, recruitment/sampling, data collection/production, and data analysis); discuss the results and/or theoretical ideas in light of the research focus or aims of the paper and in the context of the literature; and discuss the limitations of the study, implications for policy and practice, and potential future research directions.
