European Journal of Open, Distance and E-LearningEDEN has actively been supporting EURODL, the European Journal of Open and Distance Learning, which is an electronic, multi-media journal on distance and e-learning distributed on the Internet. It publishes the accounts of research, development and teaching for Europe in its most inclusive definition, exploring the potential of electronic publishing. EURODL presents scholarly work and solid information about open, distance and e-learning, education through telematics, multimedia, on-line learning and co-operation.
EURODL is free to readers and contributes to the Open Content movement. With EURODL the aim is to:
- present a forum for discussion of ODL and e-learning issues at all educational levels and in all training contexts;
- create a place where European concerns and experience of the learning potential in new educational media can be articulated;
- exchange ideas on cross-cultural collaboration and knowledge transfer;
- explore and demonstrate the potential of electronic publication;
- survey new technologies and new learning: concepts and model;
- tackle quality, evaluation and accreditation challenges
- discuss distance and e-learning policy and development;
- weave links between journal contributions and other resources and forums in European ODL and e-learning.
The Journal has the following sections: refereed where full papers in English meeting basic requirements are published, the brief one, containing non-refereed articles, project reports, work in progress, non-English contributions and the review section with inputs about recently read, relevant books in the field.

Name change of EURODL - European Journal of Open, Distance and E-LearningThe proposal of Alan Tait, Chief Editor of EURODL, during the last virtual meeting of the Regional Associate Editors, was to respond to the trends in the field of distance education and involve the word "e-learning" in the name of the online journal. While the Board has unanimously agreed to keep the prestigious acronym of EURODL, they found it important to reflect the broadening spectrum of themes addressed in the journal.
The EDEN Executive Committee has noted with agreement the developments around EURODL as a sign of progress.
Access to EURODL is free, please use the subscription field on the web site to receive the journal's newsletters. Contributors are invited to upload their articles on the online submission page at www.eurodl.org.
