Prof. Thomas P. Mackey and Prof. Nicola Marae Allain from Empire State University have been invited to serve as guest editors for this thematic collection, which celebrates the 21st anniversary of this peer-reviewed international journal from South Africa. The journal brings together researchers and educators from around the world to share scholarship that advances teaching, learning, and educational practice.

We invite submissions of original research and reflective scholarship that explore how metaliteracy can inform teaching and learning with artificial intelligence. Contributions may examine theory, pedagogy, classroom practice, assessment, learner engagement, ethics, creativity, self-directed learning, or interdisciplinary applications across multimodal contexts.

As artificial intelligence continues to influence teaching and learning, and the production and sharing of knowledge, metaliteracy prepares learners for evolving information environments, including those mediated by AI. The metaliteracy model emphasizes learner agency through interconnected learning domains, learner roles, and learner characteristics. We welcome submissions that explore how these core components of metaliteracy can inform teaching and learning with AI across a wide range of educational settings.

Please see the full Call for Papers for submission guidelines, important dates, and the complete list of suggested topics. A downloadable PDF of the call is also available for sharing with colleagues.

Nicola and I look forward to bringing together a diverse collection of scholarship that explores innovative approaches to AI and metaliteracy from international perspectives.
