AECT BOOK AND BRIEFS SERIES

AECT, in collaboration with Springer, is pleased to announce a new series of books and monographs entitled “Educational Communications and Technology: Issues and Innovations.” The series editors are J. Michael Spector (University of North Texas – mike.spector@unt.edu), Dirk Ifenthaler (Mannheim University– dirk@ifenthaler.info)., Allan Yuen (Yew Chung College of Early Childhood Education, allan.yuen@yccece.edu.hk), and Yunjo An (Yunjo.An@unt.edu). The series editors will serve as peer reviewers and will enlist additional reviewers as needed.

The purpose of the series is to extend its ongoing book publications with Springer (e.g., the Educational Media and Technology Yearbook, the Handbook on Research on Educational Communications and Technology, and the AECT Research Symposium edited volumes), and to offer the Springer Briefs innovative format to AECT authors and contributors. Briefs are short monograph (typically 50 to 100 pages) on a tightly focused topic of current interest by one (or possibly two) authors (for more detail, see http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors/springerbriefs?SGWID=0-1720013-0-0-0).

Edited volumes may be developed based on panel presentations at the annual AECT conference or other such prominent venues, or they might be based on recent collaborative research and development efforts. Books in the series should be on a topic of interest to the disciplines and groups of professionals represented in AECT. Members of an AECT division are especially welcome to submit proposals for such works.
