Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

Many countries are engaged in education reform in order to develop the human resources necessary to remain competitive in the international marketplace. One keyword in many of these reforms is innovation. However, innovation in education appears to have multiple meanings. Sometimes, it refers to the need for education to develop innovative people. Sometimes, it refers to new products, processes and business concepts within education itself.

IJIIE subscribes to a broad understanding of innovation in education in order to provide a wide platform for academic and practitioner discussion to create knowledge and exchange ideas on this important issue. In particular, we are keen to explore and examine the diversity in the current and future education landscape worldwide. We are also interested in how innovation and diversity may be an integral part of a coherent and powerful classroom, school or education system strategy, and the dilemmas and tensions faced in pursuing innovation while maintaining quality assurance in education at the same time.

The issues of innovation in education involve complex and multi-faceted challenges such as education policies, curriculum reforms, new diversity-oriented learning technologies and methods. Moreover, the challenges faced may differ from school to school in each country, and from country to country. Therefore, the challenges will have to take into account the specific nature of the education innovation in question, the context it is located, the teacher and student profile, the historical background of the country or region, local habits, needs and practices, ethics and even religious beliefs.

IJIIE therefore serves as an international platform to bring together academics, researchers, lecturers, and persons in decision making positions, policy makers and practitioners from different backgrounds to share new theories, research findings and case studies, enhancing understanding and collaboration in issues of innovation and diversity in educational multimedia in recent developments in theory and practice.
