About the Journal

Focus and field

Learning and Media is an online, open-access and peer-reviewed journal that publishes academic articles on the use of it and digital media in teaching, learning and competence development.

The journal is primarily directed at higher education, but also orients itself towards the use of it and digital media for learning at other levels of the educational system. At the same time, the journal encompasses both institutional and non-institutional, formal and informal use of it and digital media for learning. Calls for papers may be delimited to specific themes and educational levels. Articles outside themes are also welcome.

In addition, the journal is a forum for the exchange of experiences with the use of it and digital media in teaching, learning and competence development. The target group for Learning and Media are researchers, developers, teachers and students who work with learning and media. The intention of the journal is to contribute insight into international trends and research that can support a quality conscious development within the area at Danish and Scandinavian institutions.

Learning and Media is published twice a year and is only available online.
