From Ejtm (European Journal of Translational Myology) to Ejt3M (European Journal of Translational Myology, Mobility, Medicine)

This first 2018 issue of the European Journal of Translational Myology presents many novelties, that demonstrate that the journal is vital and expanding its authorship, readership and relevance from focused fields of biology, physiology, diagnostic, management and rehabilitation of skeletal muscle tissue to the interesting and clinically relevant fields of human mobility and to those of general medicine. The Editorial Board is consequently being expanded to allow fair and expert evaluation of the broader interests and expertise of the Authors submitting manuscripts. Furthermore, we are considering the option to change the title of the journal from Ejtm to Ejt3M (Myology, Mobility, Medicine). Criticisms and suggestions are welcome

External Peer Review of Teaching (ExPeRT) Portfolios for Promotion

[EN] This paper focuses on the role and purpose of external expert peer review of teaching portfolios for promotion, using institutional criteria. This is grounded in the recognition that higher education institutions typically struggle to identify suitably experienced, expert reviewers of teaching portfolios for promotion purposes. It considers the feasibility of establishing a ‘College of Peers’ who are endorsed and trained teaching and learning experts to carry out the reviews. A model of training expert peer reviewers was trailed.  While grounded in the Australian context, the issues and applications are international.http://ocs.editorial.upv.es/index.php/HEAD/HEAD18Chalmers, D.; Partridge, L.
