Reminder: Call for articles for CCL's Journal of Applied Research on Learning
The Canadian Council on Learning is pleased to invite submissions for its online peer-reviewed publication, the Journal of Applied Research on Learning (JARL). Authors of original applied research interested in submitting manuscripts to be considered for publication in JARL should review the Aims of the Journal of Applied Research on Learning, the Call for Submissions, as well as the Guidelines for Authors for detailed information on submission requirements.
JARL is intended to address topics that, while focussed on examples of applied research on learning, will offer readers relevant theoretical discussions and act as a catalyst for expanding existing knowledge in specific areas of practice and/or research on learning relevant to the Canadian context. The journal will be available through CCL's website as a free publication containing material written in both French and English. JARL will be published twice annually as a summer/fall issue and a winter/spring issue. The first issue will be published in spring 2007.
We invite you to circulate this announcement to colleagues, graduate students, researchers and/or organizations who may be interested in submitting a manuscript to JARL for consideration. The deadline for submissions of manuscripts for the next issue of JARL is March 30, 2007.
Questions can be addressed to the editorial staff of JARL.
