EDITORIAL POLICY

What Technologies

TechKnowLogia defines technology as any tool that has the potential to advance the processes of learning, instruction, training and overall dissemination of knowledge. As such, technologies include, but are not restricted to, instructional materials, audio-visual aids, radio, television, videos, the web, computers, libraries, software, content-ware, and practical activities for exploration and experimentation in different fields of knowledge.

Editorial Position

TechKnowLogia is a forum for dialogue and sharing of knowledge and experiences, and an instrument to encourage thinking "outside the box." To this end, our editorial policy is driven by rigor, reliability of data and relevance to our clientele. The journal does not hold a priori positions regarding certain policies, strategies or technologies, nor does it endorse particular products, services or institutions. It is, therefore, conceivable (and desirable) to carry articles that embrace or advocate different views or positions.

Editorial Approach

TechKnowLogia is not a specialized academic journal. It is a one-stop magazine that deals with the whole domain of issues related to technologies for knowledge and learning. (See content categories.) Since it caters to a diverse clientele with varied backgrounds and resources, it covers the whole spectrum of technologies in a crisp, strategy-oriented and practical manner. In many instances it offers a digest of available knowledge in the interest of readers who have limited or no access to sources of information.
