The IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies (TLT) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering advances in the development of technologies for supporting human learning. It was established in 2008 and is published by the IEEE Education Society.[1] The current editor-in-chief (since 2022) is Minjuan Wang of San Diego State University. Formerly, the journal was edited by Mark J.W. Lee of the Charles Sturt University (2019-2022), Wolfgang Nejdl of the University of Hannover (2008–2012), and by Peter Brusilovsky of the University of Pittsburgh (2013–2018).
TLT was published on a quarterly basis until the end of 2020, after which it switched to a bi-monthly publication frequency. As per its statement of scope,[2] the journal covers all advances in learning technologies and their applications, including but not limited to the following topics: innovative online learning systems; intelligent tutoring systems; educational games; simulation systems for education and training; collaborative learning tools; learning with mobile devices; wearable devices and interfaces for learning; personalized and adaptive learning systems; tools for formative and summative assessment; tools for learning analytics and educational data mining; ontologies for learning systems; standards and web services that support learning; authoring tools for learning materials; computer support for peer tutoring; learning via computer-mediated inquiry, field, and lab work; social learning techniques; social networks and infrastructures for learning and knowledge sharing; and creation and management of learning objects.
According to the Journal Citation Reports, TLT has a 2021 impact factor of 4.433 (Web of Science, 2022) and a 5-year impact factor of 4.255.[3] It is one of only two educational technology journals that is included in both the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index, the other being Computers & Education (published by Elsevier).[4] Its 2022 Scopus CiteScore is 7.5 (https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/19700167026), giving it a rank of #25 out of 1,319 journals in the "Education" category.[5] TLT is also ranked among the top 20 journals in educational technology in Google Scholar.[6]
