(Springer) Not available for free online and not available via LCC Library databases. Narrow scope emphasizing theorizing, designing, and implementing technology-enhanced collaborative learning initiatives; encompasses all potential learning contexts (e.g. corporate as well as K-12 and higher ed.). Published articles are often highly technical (i.e. aimed at computer science audiences), though still relevant to key questions around the integration of educational technologies.

(American Association of Colleges and Universities) Open access. narrow scope focusing on the use of e-portfolios in teaching and learning contexts; emphasizes practice-oriented research and pedagogical theorizations related to this theme; articles are sorted into a variety of categories in each issue (e.g. instructional, assessment, case studies, policy).

(Inderscience) Not available for free online and not available via LCC Library databases. Focuses on promoting and disseminating research in e-learning and distance education worldwide. It encourages multidisciplinary research in online learning/teaching, technology-enabled design and deployment of academic programmes, teaching projects and initiatives, emerging technologies and applications, blended online and face-to-face teaching modes, materials and pedagogy.

(IGI Global) Available via LCC Library databases. Goal is to broaden the overall body of knowledge regarding the multi-dimensional aspects of Web-based technologies in contemporaneous educational contexts, assisting researchers, practitioners, and decision makers to design more effective learning systems and scenarios.

(Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education) Some back issues available via LCC Library databases (2007-2007) Wide scope, covering all aspects of “e-learning” broadly conceived in all educational contexts (e.g. K-12, higher ed., professional/corporate); content is tilted toward practice-oriented and reflective analysis rather than pure theoretical or social-contextual research.

(Athabasca U.) Open access. Broad scope focusing on all aspects of open education through distance learning; most (but not all) content addresses university/college level teaching and learning; includes theoretical, analytical, and practice-oriented studies.

(Elsevier) Not available for free online and not available via LCC Library databases. Focuses on all key aspects of online learning, as well as the use of the internet in higher ed. settings more broadly; primarily includes theoretical interventions and analytical research on the effects of online technologies in higher ed., though some practice-oriented and administrative content is also present; frequent special issues address topical themes in these areas.

(Simon Fraser U.) Open access. International in scope. Non-exclusive focus on higher education (including, but not limited to, instructional practices, curriculum design, assessment and measurement, educational policy, educational technology, teaching and learning, and learning sciences) across a variety of disciplines.

(Online Learning Consortium) Title changed to: Online Learning. Available via LCC Library databases. Focuses on bridging theory and practice in the development and implementation of online and blended learning programs with significant asynchronous elements; particular emphasis on how online environments shape and affect learning outcomes and experiences; contains primarily analytical rather than practice-oriented research.

(Springer) Not available for free online and not available via LCC Library databases. Broad focus on the use of digital technology in higher ed. settings; includes analytical research, literature reviews, program implementation and evaluation studies, and policy papers; particular emphasis on the contextual benefits of integration of technology into higher ed. (e.g. improving access, affordability, and learning outcomes).

(Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education) Not available for free online. Some back issues (2000-2006) available via LCC Library databases. Relatively narrow focus on using information technology to enhance collaboration and interaction; particular emphasis on gamification, simulation, and computer-based interventions; encompasses all education contexts (K-12, higher ed., professional).

(Open University) Open access. focuses on the use of digital media to enhance interactivity in all educational contexts (K-12, higher ed., professional/corporate); wide substantive scope (i.e. practice-oriented, theoretical, and empirical research are all present); frequent publishes special issues on timely themes.

(Merlot) Open access. Focuses broadly on the use of the internet in higher ed.; emphasizes practical strategies for integrating web-based content into a variety of teaching and learning contexts (e.g. in classrooms, distance education programs, program development); each issue includes conventional research papers and short ‘case studies’ of particular initiatives.

(Taylor & Francis) Some back issues (2001-2013) available via LCC Library databases. Broad substantive, methodological, and geographic scope; focuses on all aspects of technology integration into teaching and learning across all education levels; particular emphasis on assessing the instructional uses of new technologies; recent content seems to be weighted toward K-12 rather than higher ed.

(Indiana U.) Open access. Focuses exclusively on the integration of technology into post-secondary teaching; publishes short, practice-oriented “quick hits”, more conventional empirical essays, book reviews, and case studies focusing on the implementation of new technologies.

(Taylor & Francis) Not available for free online and not available via LCC Library databases. Focuses on the intersection between digital media/technology and education, with particular emphasis on critical perspectives from the arts and humanities; deliberately avoids descriptive or evaluative studies of particular educational technologies, focusing instead on socio-cultural context issues raised thereby.

(Taylor & Francis) Available via LCC Library databases.
