I am please to announce issue 13(2) of the International Review of Research in Open and Distance Education has been distributed to our over 5,600 email subscribers today. I’ve pasted the table of contents below, but it looks prettier (with pictures!) if you go directly to www.irrodl.org
As you see there are 9 research articles, 2 field notes and a new section focussed on leadership in open and distance education. As I noted in my editorial, I am really pleased to see that IRRODL continues to be an International Journal with articles this issue from Japan, USA, Nigeria, Switzerland, Spain, Catalonia (Spain), Turkey, Iran, Canada, and Malaysia.
Thanks to all the authors, reviewers and of course our hard working Managing editor Brigette for what I think is a very good issue – enjoy!
