EiC team farewell and new EiC team introduction

Abstract

Over the last five years, IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies (TLT) published 20 journal issues on a range of topics in the fi eld of learning technologies written by researchers from many countries and research teams. Altogether, these papers demonstrate an amazing diversity of our field, learning technologies, with a broad interest in this topic shown all over the world. In the last three years, the number of yearly submissions increased from 135 to 161, with the acceptance rate now at 17.8%. We hope that over the next five years, TLT will continue to serve as a leading archival journal, publishing papers on exciting new developments in various parts of our quickly expanding field. Continuity will be provided by the new editorial team, which has been fully engaged in TLT activities in the past. Peter Brusilovsky, who assumed the role of Editor-in-Chief (EiC) in January 2013, has served as the Associate Editor-in-Chief, and Mike Sharples, the new Associate EiC, has served as a guest editor and Editorial Board member. With this message, we welcome you to the sixth year of TLT, and we pass the leadership to the new team.
