Abstract
Excerpt: We are pleased to launch Journal of Formative Design in Learning, a brand-new international journal that is an official publication of the Association for Educational Communications & Technology (AECT). The journal provides reflective practitioners (designers, teachers, instructors, researchers, and others) in teaching and learning with a single source of scholarly work that presents new developments in their field of study and discusses the impact of this new knowledge. The journal publishes original papers covering applied educational design research and development. While the main audience is practitioners, all articles are grounded in research and theory. The journal provides opportunities to established academics and practitioners as well as to junior faculty and emerging scholars. A formative peer-review process is specifically designed with less experienced authors in mind.
