The Virtual Education Journal (VEJ) was founded in 2011 and is Edovation’s flagship publication for digital and virtual learning. The journal is published four times each year with issues organized by a specific topic/theme, but includes non-thematic articles as well. 

The purpose of VEJ is to: share the work that educators are doing in digital and virtual environments; disseminate educational and technological research, tools, and best practices; document and preserve the culture, social relations, digital work, environments, and digital artifacts; encourage and promote the work of educators and their students to effectively and seamlessly utilize digital tools;  and celebrate the lives, accomplishments, and preserve the learning and legacies of educational leaders. 

VEJ is interested in learners of all ages. We are always looking for educators and/or their students to share what is happening in virtual environments, digital and online learning, with curricula, instruction, strategies, and assessments. What tools are being used? How are educators engaging students differently in virtual environments and with digital online learning? What impacts are AI, VR, and AR having? What are the take-aways? What is being learned through research and best practices that can be shared with others?  

We are also interested in professional learning and growth in virtual environments. For example, how are Pre-service Teacher Education Programs through Graduate School Education Programs teaching, learning, connecting and networking with each other and their students? What are other professional learning organizations doing (e.g., medical, engineering, non-profits, parks & recreation) and how are they using virtual and digital environments including AI, VR, AR for professional learning, simulations, role-play and training activities? But, because we believe in a balanced life, we are also interested in how educators are exploring virtual and digital environments for their own personal learning, well-being, social relationships, and connections.

The Virtual Education Journal seeks to document and archive the work that is being done by and for educators in order to share, disseminate and replicate it around the world and throughout the metaverse! We especially welcome articles from educators, artists, designers, builders, entertainers, librarians and authors who are using virtual environments and digital learning to further their craft. We are interested in articles that push the envelope of thinking to show not only how best practices and effective teaching strategies are used inside the box, but also what is happening outside the box. 

The Virtual Education Journal offers no payments for articles. VEJ is also not peer-reviewed. Decisions regarding publication are made by the editor and staff. 

Please submit articles, approximately 500 – 1800 words. Use Word or Google Docs (no PowerPoint or Google slides); Times New Roman, Calibri, or Arial in size 12 font. We want and encourage the use of pictures! Please be sure your pictures and graphics are the highest resolution possible (using png, tiff, jpeg, or native Photoshop .psd) in a separate file.  You may also send a list of captions you would like to have for each of your  pictures. In addition, you can embed your  pictures/graphics in the article so we see where or how you would like them placed. Most importantly, be sure to send your highest quality pictures/graphics in separate files.
