Aims and Scope:

AJDE is the internationally recognized journal of research and scholarship in the field of American distance education established with the mission of disseminating information about research and scholarship in the Americas.  Distance education describes teaching–learning relationships where the actors are geographically separated and communication between them is through technologies such as audio and video broadcasts, teleconferences and recordings, printed study guides, and multimedia systems. The principal technology of current research interest is the World Wide Web, and subfields of distance education therefore include online learning, e-learning, distributed learning, asynchronous learning, and blended learning.

Manuscript Submission:

AJDE encourages the submission of articles about methods and techniques of teaching at a distance, about learning, and about
management and administration, but also encourages authors to write about policies, theories, and values that drive distance education. Articles should be based on research, although all methods and approaches to research are welcome.
Authors are advised to ensure that their work is appropriately grounded in a review of existing literature. Submissions are accepted with the understanding that they will be subject to review and editorial revision and that they neither have been nor will be published elsewhere. Manuscripts should not exceed 5,000 words.

The Chicago Manual of Style, fifteenth edition, should be used as the guide for manuscript style. If the manual is not available, authors should study previous issues of AJDE. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically by e-mail as an attachment in Word format.

All manuscripts and inquiries about articles should be e-mailed to Michael Grahame Moore, editor, The American Journal of Distance Education, College of Education, The Pennsylvania State University. E-mail: mgmoore@psu.edu
