Possible topics include the following five areas:

• K-12 education (including theory and practice)
• Postsecondary instruction (including learning and assessment)
• Workplace applications (including prior learning and on-the-job experience)
• Standards and tools (including interoperability and process and showcase software)
• Regional, national and international challenges (including Canadian issues and European movements)

Note: Priority will be given to manuscripts that contain empirical evidence. Where no research is reported, future directions for research and theory should be included along with strengths and limitations and implications for practice. Short research reviews and book reviews on electronic portfolios are welcome and should be directed to the section editors, Katy Campbell and Diane Janes, respectively.

CJLT is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal that is published 3 times annually by AMTEC. CJLT is published both in print and online versions. Manuscripts may be submitted either in English or in French and may take the following forms: Research Papers, Literature Reviews, Critical Scholarship, Position Papers, Evaluations, Case Studies, and Instructional Development Reports. All manuscripts received by the Guest Editor will be judged for suitability, contribution, accuracy, and interest, by the journal's editorial review board. CJLT's review process is now conducted electronically.

The deadline for submission of manuscripts for the Special Issue on Electronic Portfolios is May 15th 2005.

Authors are asked to email their manuscripts as an attachment to Philip C. Abrami at: abrami@education.concordia.ca. Manuscripts should be in MS Word or RTF format and should be accompanied by a letter stating that the manuscript is original material that has not been published and is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere.
