The Atrium: A Journal of Academic Voices presents a unique forum for the community of professionals engaged in post secondary education and research. One key focus of this journal is the murky landscape that practitioners must traverse on their way from Learning Theory to Instructional Practice: we seek papers that describe best practices and student engagement of controversial topics. Accepting the possibility that no theory is panacea, The Atrium acknowledges the value of discourse in the project of uncovering the principles that might govern the development of Best Practices. We can talk the talk, but can we walk the walk? The Atrium is meant to be a passageway of ideas and practice across the disciplines that will demonstrate how we do just that. We are also interested in a limited amount of creative writing, including short stories and poetry. We also publish book and website reviews.
The Atrium is a publication of Ivy Tech Community College, the largest college system in Indiana. It seeks to encourage communication across disciplines and between two and four year colleges. Articles published will be those with the greatest appeal to a broad range of disciplines. Articles focusing on practice are especially encouraged. The Atrium is published electronically semiannually in Fall and Spring semesters. Deadline for submissions is July 1 and January 1. Published work is archived on the website.
