The Department of Instructional Improvement and Instructional Technologies at George Mason University (DoIIIT) is charged with supporting excellence in learning and teaching at the University. The regular publication of inventio helps to further that purpose by providing a vehicle for serious discussion of significant issues related to instruction and learning.
The primary audience for inventio is the faculty, staff, and students at George Mason University. However, the publication of inventio on the World Wide Web naturally broadens the readership of the journal. DoIIIT intends to publicize the existence of this journal among other academic institutions and thereby expand the audience to include a broad range of educational professionals at many other colleges and universities.
inventio focuses on issues related to learning and teaching. Areas of interest include:
The policy of inventio is that author retains the copyright to his/her article. All articles in inventio will carry the notation "(c) DATE by Author (author@gmu.edu). The right to make additional exact copies, including this notice, for personal and classroom use, is hereby granted. All other forms of distribution and copying require permission of the author."
The author transfers to George Mason University/inventio the right to publish in inventio, to archive, and to distribute copies containing the copyright notice.
By accepting inventio's offer to publish in inventio, the author agrees with the above transfer of rights.
inventio is a publication of the Department of Instructional Improvement and Instructional Technologies (DoIIIT) at George Mason University in Fairfax Virginia.
inventio is published twice a year in February and October. Articles may be contributed at any time for publication consideration. However, the Editorial Board generally selects articles for the February issue from those submitted by the previous October 30 and articles for the October issue from those submitted by the previous June 30. Potential articles are reviewed by an editorial board. The review process generally takes from six to eight weeks.
Specifications for Submitting Articles for Publication Consideration
The Editorial Board strongly encourages potential authors to consult with a member of the board before developing an article. The Editorial Board works cooperatively with authors to plan and develop each issue, so early notification of interest in participating in an issue of the journal will help facilitate the process.
Articles should be submitted to the editorial board in care of Anne Agee (aagee@gmu.edu). Articles should be in electronic format, preferably MS Word 97. When submitting an article, please specify the name of the application and the version number in which it is formatted. Page layout and presentation software such as PageMaker and PowerPoint are not acceptable.
Manuscripts (disks) should be accompanied by a letter or e-mail stating that the paper is to be considered for publication in inventio. The message should include the name, title, complete address and phone number, as well as fax number and e-mail address for each author.
Authors are encouraged to consider web layout in preparing the article. Thus articles should be developed in clear sections with headings. Articles should include a 150 word abstract at the beginning and a 150-200 word biography of the author at the end. Notes/citations should be included at the end of the article.
