Asia-Pacific Journal Of Co-operative Education (APJCE)  Go to website

The APJCE arose from a desire to produce an international forum for discussion of cooperative education issues for practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region and is intended to provide a mechanism for the dissemination of research, best practice and innovation in work-based learning. In recognition of international trends in information technology, APJCE is produced solely in electronic form. Published papers are available as PDF files from this website, and manuscript submission, reviewing and publication is electronically based.

Journal of Applied Research on Learning (JARL)

JARL is intended to address topics that, while focused on examples of applied research on learning, will offer readers relevant theoretical discussions and act as a catalyst for expanding existing knowledge in specific areas of practice and/or research on learning relevant to the Canadian context. The journal will be available through CCL’s website as a free publication containing material written in both French and English. JARL will initially be published twice annually as a summer/fall issue and a winter/spring issue.

World Association for Co-operative Educataion (WACE)  Go to website

The International Handbook for Cooperative Education brings together authors from around the world to provide a multidimensional perspective on work-integrated learning. It has documented, perhaps for the first time ever, the state of the art in educational programs that incorporate periods of required work that integrate with classroom study. It will be of value to the beginner in the field as a background resource as much to those who have been long involved in cooperative education.

"One Century of Cooperative Education in the United States 1906-2006"

Abstract:

In 2006, the cooperative education (co-op) movement in the United States reached its 100th anniversary. This document outlines its history, from its humble beginnings in engineering education at the University of Cincinnati in 1906 through its modern-day popularity among the academic and industrial communities. We also discuss the significance of cooperative learning as an educational tool. Finally, we discuss the manner in which cooperative education has influenced the workforce in the United States and set forth our expectations for the future of this movement.
