Open Access Journals in the Field of Education

To the best of our ability to discern, we have included only links to electronic journals that are scholarly, peer-reviewed, full text and accessible without cost. We have excluded professional magazines that are largely not refereed, and commercial journals that may only allow access to a very limited number of articles as an enticement to buy. By restricting membership in this way on the list that follows, we hope to do what little we can to promote free access world wide to scholarship in education.

Second Thoughts on Second Life

1. Students could always find someone in SL whether it was another student or professor.


2. SL made it easy to keep up with the assignments. Everything students needed for class could be found in SL as well so if you couldn't make class, you could still do the work and hand it in on time.


3. SL was not just an educational tool it helped students learn more about computers than any computer class we had taken in the past because they were actually using them directly and intensively.


4. SL gave us the opportunity to chat with students from other colleges as well as fellow classmates so we could all help each other, and to research people from all over the world.


5. Students could meet at one location. There was no need to exchange phone numbers or e-mail address. Using open chat everyone can communicate with every other student there which enabled much better working together and helping each other when you got stuck because you could get a range of views very quickly.


6. Students did their homework on notecard and sent them to the professor who could correct them and send them back right away, which made it easy to do corrections.
