Manuscripts to the Irish Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning will be considered under one of the following categories:

1) Original Research (3,000 words max, including abstract and references).
Original research papers that report primary research in Technology Enhanced Learning through a structured format including introduction, literature review, methodology, results, and discussion. These contributions should demonstrate methodological rigour while presenting findings that advance understanding in the field.

2) Original Research (Extended Report) (8,000 words max, including abstract and references)
This category is similar to the Original Research papers but allows for longer or larger scale research projects. These papers follow the same structure as original research articles but allow for deeper analysis and extended discussion of implications.

3) Spotlight on Scholarship (3,000 words max)
This category provides scholars the opportunity to present key findings from recently completed graduate research, highlighting contributions to technology enhanced learning. Authors should concisely present their research problem, methodology, findings, and implications, while including critical reflection on the research process. This category was developed to encourage emerging researchers to share their work with the wider academic community.

4) Position Papers (3,000 words max, including abstract and references)
Position papers offer a platform for scholarly voices that challenge assumptions and spark crucial conversations about technology in education. Authors might explore questions of equity, ethics, policy, pedagogy, or emerging trends through critical and creative lenses. We welcome thought-provoking arguments that are grounded in evidence while imagining new possibilities for technology enhanced learning.

5) Short Reports (2,500 words max, including abstract and references)
Short reports capture moments of innovation, insight, and inquiry in technology enhanced learning practice. Whether sharing an ongoing project, reflecting on teaching experiences, or exploring new methodologies, these contributions value both storytelling and scholarship. We encourage creative approaches that speak authentically to the complexities of teaching and learning with technology.

6) Book and multimedia reviews (1,000 words max, including abstract and references)
Book and multimedia reviews thoughtfully examine resources that shape our understanding and practice of technology enhanced learning. Moving beyond simple evaluation, these pieces explore how books, software, digital tools, or online resources contribute to our collective knowledge and practice. Reviews should weave together description, analysis, and reflection to help readers appreciate the resource’s potential impact on teaching and learning.
