Journal of Effective Teaching in Higher Education, vol. 2, no. 1 

 
Dear contributors, reviewers, and readers: 
 
We would like to thank our colleagues from around the world who served as 
reviewers on our second issue of the Journal of Effective Teaching in Higher 
Education. The interest in publishing with JETHE has been incredible, and we could 
not have published this second issue without your help.  
 
The primary goal of JETHE is to deliver high quality, data driven articles 
contributing to the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) in higher education. 
We believe the nine pieces included in volume 2 issue 1 demonstrate this 
commitment and reflect the range of work we will continue to publish in future 
issues. The articles address a diverse range of topics relevant to teaching in higher 
education today, including Universal Design for Learning (UDL), gaming pedagogies 
and techniques, and queer pedagogy, among others. The authors represent an 
equally diverse set of institutions from across the US and Canada, and they utilized 
a range of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods in their work.  
 
We hope you find this issue to contain interesting and engaging examples of the 
scholarship of teaching and learning. All of the pieces provide meaningful 
implications for the practice of teaching across disciplines—an important 
contribution that is emphasized in JETHE. We invite you to engage with the pieces 
in our second issue and consider making your own contributions to this work.  
 
We also invite you to become a reviewer for JETHE. If you are interested in 
reviewing for our journal, please send an email to the editors at jethe@uncw.edu 
indicating the subjects related to SoTL in higher education that most interest you 
and about which you have expertise. Please also attach your CV to that email. 
 
The deadline for submissions for consideration for the next issue of JETHE is August 
15, 2019. We look forward to receiving interesting and rigorous submissions and 
working with some of you as authors and reviewers.
