Publisher: FernUniversität in Hagen and the CampusSource initiative

In co-operation with the FernUniversität in Hagen and the CampusSource 
initiative, a new e-journal - e-learning and education (eleed) - was 
launched in February 2005. The journal offers a platform for new 
scientific research results from the widespread area of all e-Learning 
aspects. The articles are freely accessible via Internet (open ACCESS). 
They are submitted to a Reviewing process, in order to guarantee a high 
scientific quality. The topicality remain protected, since each article 
will be published directly after completed appraisal.

"e-learning and education" is an archival, peer-reviewed technical 
journal that will appear every three months and publishes the following 
types of contributions:

     * Research papers
     * Reports on case studies
     * Survey articles
     * e-Learning standards and proposals
     * Reports on major e-Learning projects
     * Book and product presentations or discussions.

It covers all aspects of e-learning including:

     * Best practice reports addressing all kinds of educational and 
vocational settings.
     * Innovative didactic and pedagogical models and scenarios.
     * Novel software infrastructure solutions including e-learning 
platforms, tools, and reusable content modules.

We seek contributions in two classes:

    1. Regular, long articles which are reviewed. The requirements on 
the submissions are discussed below.
    2. Short contributions that describe your project, your group, or 
your company. Position papers and letters to the editors belong to the 
same class.

Short contributions are limited to three pages and are not reviewed 
other than from the editors.

Open Access is a key topic of this electronic journal. All articles are 
published under the Digital Peer Publishing Licence, which both ensures 
free distribution and secures the author's rights that no content is 
modified or reused without citing the names of authors and holders of 
rights and the bibliographical information used. Additionally, the 
rights to use in physical form, particularly the rights to distribute 
the work in printed form or on storage media, are retained by the 
authors or other rights holders and are not covered by this licence.

The electronic format of the journal enables the use of non-traditional 
add-on materials like multimedia animations or simulations and therefore 
takes the specific possibilities of e-learning into account. Though 
published quaterly like a traditional journal to ensure citability, 
eleed tries to achive timely availability by a fast review process and 
pre-issue publication.
