IET, and now is largely seen as synonymous with internet based technology. It remains however a field that does not systematically record or analyse its own history. In order to better appreciate new developments, and link these into a deeper historical context, JIME seeks to gather a collection of papers to contribute to the understanding of educational technology as a field with its own story. Papers might choose explore the following themes:

• – Emergent themes in educational technology
• – Historical accounts of the application of specific technology
• – Critical perspectives on the application of technology in education
• Explorations of ‘forgotten’ technology or approaches
• Applications of educational technology in specific regions

Submissions to JIME should have a clear educational focus or application, and should go beyond anecdotes or opinion. We encourage historical analysis, rich case studies, and innovative analytic methods applied to literature, interviews and data. Submissions are expected to advance knowledge in the field of open education conceptually and/or empirically. Contributors should take account of JIME’s guidelines for submissions.

Deadline for submissions is January 15th 2020, with an intention to publish by June 2020. Please indicate that your paper is to be considered for the Special Collection when submitting.

The following list was adapted from Clayton R. Wright’s Educational Technology and Education Conferences List #42. Please refer to Wright’s complete list for other conferences as well as each conference website for more details. Each year I attend AECT, AERA, and 1-2 other conferences. I use this list to identify what other conferences I might attend. Thus, this list is focused on my research interests and/or convenient or interesting locations.

This special issue celebrates 40 years of technology-assisted education and learning since the important appearance of Seymour Papert’s book Mindstorms: Children, computers, and powerful ideas.  Similarly to how Papert fostered both technological, pedagogical, and theoretical development with his scholarship, we know that theories of learning and instruction remain important to organizing education and learning in digital and connected environments. In this special issue, we seek papers that follow in this tradition by showcasing how rigorous theoretical work is essential to the success of technology-mediated teaching and learning.

With this special issue, we ask ourselves these questions: What are the effective theories of learning and instruction for digital, connected environments?
