Guest Editor’s Note

This Winter issue of the eleventh volume of the International Journal for Educational Media and Technology (IJEMT), is a collaborative work among scholars of Japan Association for Educational Media Studies (JAEMS), Korean Association for Educational Information and Media (KAEIM), and
other organizations from China and the USA.

For this issue, selected refereed papers presented at the 2017 Teaching, Colleges and Community Worldwide Online Conference (TCC) were revised and submitted for IJEMT. A TCC editorial board, comprised of international faculty in the field of ICT, eLearning and educational technology, reviewed
the papers using a double-blind process. We present five refereed papers that reflect trends in online teaching and learning, flipped learning, social media collaboration and emerging technologies.

We hope these papers will add to the body of knowledge established by previous issues of IJEMT and will extend dialogue amongst researchers in the area of educational media and technology.

We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with the editors and organizers of IJEMT to publish this Winter issue. We would like to especially thank IJEMT’s Co-Editors-in-Chief (Insung Jung and Seungyeon Han), Managing Editor (Shinichi Sato), Founding Editor (Katsuaki Suzuki) and other editorial board members who have assisted us along the way.
