Drawing on the recent Special Inaugural Issue of the open-access journal Studies in Technology Enhanced Learning, we discuss why the technology enhanced learning (TEL) field needs to engage in more explicitly scholarly conversation. We consider one such conversation on the issue of theory, long considered thorny for TEL. We discuss the special issue’s focus on particular theories, and relations between theory and the scholarly field, research methods, and practitioners. We will invite several authors to reflect on their contributions.
