Volume 4, Issue 2 (2019)

It is indeed a pleasure to welcome you to Volume 4, Issue 2 of the Journal of Research Initiatives (JRI) which I hope you will enjoy. When JRI was launched in 2012, the Editorial Founders agreed that an Open-Access publication of academic research would be environment-friendly; making the journal quickly available to the world. This decision has allowed the journal to touch educators around the globe, and for that I am appreciative. I seize this opportunity to thank all those who have submitted their contributions for this Issue. Education without ground-breaking research is meaningless to the academic community. I sincerely extend my thanks to this issue reviewers for lending their time and expertise to reviewing the articles assigned. You are the glue that keeps JRI successful, and I look forward to continuous support. JRI endeavors to provide a forum for academicians, researchers, and practitioners who are interested in the discussion of data-driven, best practices, and trends in education. Please feel free to provide your feedback and review the call for papers for the upcoming special edition.
