The Journal of Instructional Research (JIR) is an annual publication by the Center for Innovation in Research and Teaching at Grand Canyon University that highlights research relevant to best practices in post-secondary instruction. Unique to JIR is the use of a two-stage evaluation process with public peer review, interactive discussion and final formalized peer review.

We are seeking your participation in reviewing, providing feedback and discussing the current submissions to JIR. All individuals who participate in the review process will be issued a certificate of participation and will be acknowledged in the 2014 volume as a member of the Peer Review Board.

Current discussion papers include:

• Using Multimedia to Build a Sense of Community with Online Distance Learners - Jennifer Ashton
• Webquest 2.0: Best Practices for the 21st Century - Jennifer Levin-Goldberg

To participate in the review process (while simultaneously fostering your own knowledge of emergent teaching practices), visit the JIR website at: http://cirt.gcu.edu/jir/discussionpapers. The public review period lasts until March 15, 2013.
