Each year JIME publishes reviews of some of the latest books released on the topics of educational technology and the role of multimedia technologies in higher education. Reviewers are currently sought for the following volumes:
Hodgkinson-Williams, C. & Arinto, P.B. (eds) (2017) Adoption and Impact of OER in the Global South. African Minds, University of Cape Town (ROER4D), IDRC https://www.idrc.ca/en/book/adoption-and-impact-oer-global-south
Jocson, K.M. (2018) Youth Media Matters. Participatory Cultures and Literacies in Education. University of Minnesota Press https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/youth-media-matters
Reviewers should in the first instance email Vicky Cole (Editorial Assistant) via vicky.cole@open.ac.uk with an expression of interest. This should include a brief biographical description indicating your suitability as a reviewer and a list of all volumes you would be willing to review. (Reviews are commissioned on a first-come, first served basis for qualified reviewers.) Reviews are due on the 31st March 2019 and will be published in the summer edition of JIME.
Reviews should be around 1500-2000 words long and should focus on the relevance of the volume for educational technologists, instructional designers, and educators working in higher education institutions.
