The Education in Practice journal is aimed at UoB practitioners looking to develop and share their experiences and findings in a scholarly, peer-reviewed platform. It is specifically designed as an accessible route for UoB staff who teach or support learning to work towards a first publication, and to disseminate their findings. It is a developmental process, which supports authors to develop their understanding of writing in the field of education, and to progress to future dissemination of their work in other national and international platforms.
We are particularly interested in short case studies of up to 2000 words, which are a discussion of an area of good practice, including rationale, actions and outcomes. Please read our guidance for contributors for further information.

Types of contributions and criteria
Education in Practice is focused upon practices in teaching and supporting learning within the University of Birmingham. A range of contributions are sought from practitioners, including:
- original papers;
- case studies;
- reflective or discursive papers;
- reviews;
- examples of practice.
Contributions that explore the findings from education research and discuss or apply these within the context of University of Birmingham teaching and supporting learning are also warmly welcomed. In general contributions should:
- Be practical, focusing upon informing the work of others and be aimed at directly influencing approaches and practices that impact upon students and their learning.
- Be written in a style that enables the transferability of ideas; either within a discipline or between disciplines. Whilst submissions may be grounded within a specific discipline, they should be written in a style that allows those from other disciplines to understand and appreciate the ideas, and in a manner that ensures their content is accessible and readable by all.
Submission details and guidance
Education in Practice articles will be typically published online on a ‘rolling’ basis, and then be included in an annual volume.
Submissions are welcome at any time. All contributions submitted for publication will be subject to a peer academic review process prior to them being accepted for publication.
