The Emerging Learning Design Journal
A Note From The Editors
Jerry Alan Fails, A.J. Kelton
Volume 4 represents yet another milestone for the ELDj, as our largest issues yet (both in pages and number of articles), and because it premiers the first Trend article. Trend articles focus on something that is “hot” or “trending” or something that others should be paying attention to in the near term. Although based in the present, Trend articles have a forward looking focus or conclusion.
The articles in this volume are being published as proceedings of the 2016 Emerging Learning Design Conference (ELDc16).
