About this journal

Aims and scope

Educational media has made a considerable impact on schools, educational institutions and providers of open and distance education. Educational Media International (EMI) is a scholarly journal that publishes research, evaluation, and development studies addressing the issues, successes and challenges faced in the design, development, implementation and evaluation of educational media.

Educational Media International provides a forum for the exchange of information and ideas on new developments in educational media. Contributions are drawn from academics, educators and media professionals whose ideas and experiences come from a number of countries and contexts. Priority is given to papers that reveal novel concepts of broad interest to the educational media community. We place a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research that reflects the diversity of the educational technology profession. We also publish articles and seek to stimulate research in emerging educational media areas, such as those created by globalization, technology developments, public policy shifts, future trends and innovation.


Peer Review Policy:
All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by two anonymous referees from a panel of international scholars and researchers.
