Abstract

This special issue brings together perspectives from universities and publishers working on new media learning technologies. We begin by describing the way these organizations came to work together, before introducing the articles in this special issue. We then proceed to highlight the important issues that are emerging from their individual and collective efforts within the Group, and most recently from the author-reviewer debate in this issue. We now invite you to build on these discussions with your own contributions.
