Abstract
Longer-form Campus Feature Articles
(length: 4,000 to 5,000 words)
Leading scholars from across the profession, including front-lines practitioners, faculty members, senior leaders, and those working in intermediary organizations explore compelling and critical topics, share compelling findings, synthesize research, analyze policy, and detail implications for practice. Longer-form feature articles provide an in-depth look at issues in a range of areas affecting higher education. They draw upon current literature to offer appropriate background for the issue, present current analyses, and explore new perspectives. Each longer-form feature article approaches a timely topic from an original angle and demonstrates implications for student learning in a variety of contexts.
Shorter-form Campus Insight Articles
(length: 1,800 to 2,400 words)
Shorter-form campus insight articles profile innovative and groundbreaking campus practices that foster student learning. We highly encourage authors to submit manuscripts that are creative in nature.
There are many types of shorter-form insight articles, such as those that:
Describe the purpose, context, and constituents involved in implementing a best practice; use assessment data to report the learning outcomes of the practice; and include implementation challenges and strategies to address them Profile assessment practices or policy developments in ways made accessible to a wide audience and useful in a variety of contexts Provide readers with practical ideas and principles about using assessment as a tool to inform their everyday work Provide readers with practical ideas and principles about implementing, developing, and making-sense of policy that has consequence for student learning Offer a first-person portrait or story that models how educators work with students in various contexts to promote learning Shed light on special issues and challenges faced by those who live and work on our campuses Examine personal experiences, campus events, everyday life events, or special moments that inform student learning Offer provocative and persuasive opinions that bring readers’ attention to a particular issue or challenge facing higher education
For any article submission, authors can submit narrative inquiry, portraiture, autoethnography, poetics, photographic, diagrammatic, educational criticism and connoisseurship, and other forms of arts-based scholarship.
