Description
Summary:Founded in 1980, the IberoAmerican Association for Distance Higher Education (“Asociación Iberoamericana de Educación Superior a Distancia” or AIESAD) is probably the most relevant organization of open and distance education in IberoAmerica. One of the fundamental objectives of this association was to create a periodic academic publication as an ideal medium for the scientific dissemination and improvement of non-face-to-face educational processes. Thus, in 1982 the "Informative Bulletin of the IberoAmerican Association of Distance Higher Education" was created. This bulletin laid the foundations for the real inception of a scientific journal, the “IberoAmerican Journal of Distance Higher Education” (Revista Iberoamericana de Educación Superior a Distancia or RIESAD) whose first issue was published in 1988 and the last one in 1996, with a total of 172 articles. In 1998 this publication was updated under a similar name, “IberoAmerican Journal of Distance Education" (RIED. Revista Iberoamericana de Educación a Distancia). As a way of adapting to modern tendencies, it bears the subtitle of "Iberoamerican Journal of Digital Education" and, up to this current issue, it has published a total of 513 articles. These are the 30 years of history (1988-2018) of a scientific publication, with a total of 685 papers that came to light on distance education and digital technologies applied to teaching and learning.
