The International Journal of E-Learning & Distance Education (formerly the Journal of Distance Education) is an international publication of the Canadian Network for Innovation in Education (CNIE) / Le Réseau canadien pour l’innovation en éducation (RCIÉ). Its aims are to promote and encourage scholarly work in e-learning and distance education and provide a forum for the dissemination of international scholarship. Original material in either English or French is invited in categories of research articles, research briefs or book reviews.

Assessment – Moving from 20th Century assessment models to novel and progressive ways to assess learners who are studying within technology learning modalities. Sustainability – Explore how open, e-learning, blended, digital, and distance education can contribute to the United Nations Sustainability Goal #4 (UNSDGs) to ensure “inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.
