Theory and Practice of Video Publishing: Constructing the third age of the journal

This paper provides a brief overview of experiences of an international consortium engaged in three inter-related projects: the Association of Visual Pedagogies, the Video Journal of Education and Pedagogy, and the series of Association of Visual Pedagogies conferences. In order to provide the projects with a theoretical and philosophical perspective, it aligns practical experiences with the theoretical classification called ‘the three ages of the journal’. The paper explores the video journal in relation to technology (text, electronic and video communication), in relation to scholarly knowledge, and in relation to education. It concludes that our practices are still by and large based in approaches inherited from previous ages, and that their further development heavily depends on our individual and collective decisions.
