Distance Education Journals

🔊 Listen
        
    

Includes journals relevant to planning and management of distance education and e-learning in post-secondary education.

One would expect journals from institutions committed to open access to be available free of charge to anyone with access to the Internet. Alas, this is not the case for especially the oldest journals in distance education. This list contains journals published in Spanish, French and Chinese, as well as English.
