Mission Statement

The mission of The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy (ISSN 2166-6245) is to promote open scholarly discourse around critical and creative uses of digital technology in teaching, learning, and research. Educational institutions have often embraced instrumentalist conceptions and market-driven implementations of technology that overdetermine its uses in academic environments. Such approaches underestimate the need for critical engagement with the integration of technological tools into pedagogical practice. The JITP will

endeavor to counter these trends by recentering questions of pedagogy in our discussions of technology in higher education. The journal

will also work to change what counts as scholarship—and how it is presented, disseminated, and reviewed—by allowing contributors to develop

their ideas, publish their work, and engage their readers using multiple formats.We are committed first and foremost to teaching and learning, and intend that

the journal itself—both in process and in product—provide opportunities to reveal, reflect on, and revise academic publication and classroom practice.

Three principle differences between digital and print scholarship in the humanities require a radical revision to how we review and assess scholarly production and to how scholarly work accrues value:

digital scholarship is often collaborative,

digital scholarship is rarely finished,

and digital scholarship is frequently “public.”

“Rethinking Peer Review in the Age of Digital Humanities,” Roopika Risam
