– Stanton Wortham, University of Pennsylvania, USA
I congratulate you on your leadership and vision for having conceived of, generated, and published the new informative and enlightening journal, International Journal of Adult Vocational Education and Technology. It fills a much needed void in the production and dissemination of knowledge about adult/ higher education and technology. Our global community of scholars and practitioners in adult and higher education will greatly benefit from this new source of research-based and field tested research about the critical role of technology in the practice of adult and higher education in many different institutional/agency and environmental/social-cultural contexts.
