The journals listed here specialize on the topics of distance education and educational technology. The top picks identified by the ITDE faculty are identified here.  However, other journals in education and technology will also contain some articles on these topic.

Scholarly Journals (Peer Reviewed):

Each year, dozens of research papers are presented at the convention of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) and published in the proceedings of the convention.

The vast majority of these papers are the results of doctoral student dissertation research.

The proceedings are an excellent source of ideas for dissertation research and contain hundreds of examples of research in the fields of instructional technology and distance education.
