In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation, JIPE is extending its deadline for expressions of interest in a Special Issue of the Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education, on the topic of “Innovation in Micro-Certification.” Authors (and co-authors!) are invited to submit a 250 to 500 word expression of interest, proposing their paper. 

Contributions could take the form of empirical papers, review papers, brief reports, or case studies, and are expected to link to existing literature on the topic. Potential topics include design, development, and implementation approaches to micro-certification, or impacts of micro-certification initiatives, focused on linking learning and skill development to workplace needs. Papers may include success stories, practice transformations, evidence of curriculum shifts to accommodate new needs, or examples of industry partnering with polytechnics to address their own operational needs for talent or innovation. 

Expressions of interest should be submitted to heidi.marsh@humber.ca by May 20, 2020.

Successful proposals will be notified by May 31, 2020. Complete papers will be due by August 20, 2020.
