Learning and/or education related writing?

[Leigh Blackall]

Hellooo. I've just posted the below message to the Journal discussion page

Hello folks, first up let me say how fantastic it is to see the journals developing and holding on Wikiversity. It is a significant and long needed development. I've been very absent from WV over the years the journals have been developing, mostly because my day job has taken me away from it :(

I'm looking for a place to submit my writings on learning and education. It might not be up to journal standard most of the time, but I'd like to get into the workflow toward that goal. I'm just not sure if there is a place in the journals for it yet.. I hope it might be Humanities...?

A sample of finished works that could easily be shaped into the journal's format:

1. Humanist technology - A presentation to eLearning Korea, arguing for the humanities taking a much stronger role in the consideration of technology. This project relates to the An ethical framework for ubiquitous learning.
2. Badges: identify talent and brand by association - A research and development project at RMIT, looking at how badges could be used to improve the employment prospects of graduates in the Advertising degree.
3. An ethical framework for ubiquitous learning - Presented as work in progress to the IEEE Conference 2014
4. Data and Power - A presentation to the Melbourne University Analytics Forum 2014
5. Open Online Courses and Massively untold stories - A critical history of Massive Open Online Courses, published by Ascilite2014
6. Journalism studies and Wikinews - A collaborative paper published in the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association conference: Communicating Change and Changing Communication in the 21st Century. 2013
7. Open Education Practices: A User Guide for Organisations - A manual for the New Zealand Ministry of Education 2009
8. Sustainability considerations relating to the use of Second Life for education - A critical review for the New Zealand Ministry of Education 2009
9. Socially constructed media and communications - A presentation to Ascilite 2007

Other works in progress are listed on my Userpage.

Looking forward to hearing from you folks --Leighblackall (discuss • contribs) 05:50, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello anyone? Just a little prod.. is my question just wildly out of scope? Or my would-be contributions nowhere near quality enough?

Leigh-

Thanks for your email and the prod. A number of us were at the annual Wikimania, and are still playing catch-up. 

A number of your works will likely fit within the journal based on the criteria https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Humanities/Publishing though the works will likely need to be revised in a way that they present some original research. 

Personally, I am more of a social scientist than a digital humanities scholar, and find my own interests are more within this journal than in its sister publications. 

I hope this helped answer your question. 

Thank you.

Thanks Jeffrey, the pointer to the publishing guidelines was helpful.. it seems my offerings fit either as original research humanities, or reviews humanities.. if the reviewers agree that educational theory, practice, research and development or in the humanities...

If anyone else has a hunch on this, please let us know.. I'll send these guidelines to my research supervisors to see if they will acknowledge the journal as a legitimate publication venue for PhD by publications.. 

Regards,

Leigh
