Introduction and Editorial Board
Welcome to the journal, Journal of Online Learning Research and Practice, formerly Internet Learning Journal. The title reflects the scope of the journal. Subject matter is the evolution of technology that online learning has brought to the academy. Since the University of Bologna was founded in 1088, instruction was done face to face with the technologies of speaking and writing. The digital revolution has now offered both enhancements and an alternative to the physical classroom. For the first time, we can look at classroom data, patterns of interaction, and patterns of learning fixed in data points. The digital revolution threatens to change how students learn, instructors teach, and education institutions manage data. We hope to become a forum for the larger issues of data collection, assessment, and tools related to online learning.
