They may include, but are not limited to, video, audio, animation, and image files.

Manuscripts are to be submitted in APA style. Please include a one or two-sentence summary of your article that will be used as a link. Abstracts of 100-150 words are required to introduce each article.

  2. Grounding of the study in relevant theory and research.
  3. Appropriateness of the methodology.
