The 91社区 Journal of Education/Revue des sciences de l'茅ducation de 91社区 (MJE/RSEM) is an open-access, online journal that is published three times a year: winter, spring, and fall. It includes work in English and French from local, national, and international contexts. The MJE/RSEM publishes peer-reviewed research articles and essays, as well as non-peer-reviewed (editorial) notes from the field, discussion forums, and book reviews. It is concerned with major issues in formal, non-formal, and incidental teaching and learning from a variety of perspectives, practical and theoretical, personal and collective. Its policy is to bring new ideas and research into a context open to teacher educators and scholars, as well as to parents, teachers, popular educators, community workers, and administrators.
The A.S. Lamb Learning Centre, consisting of the computer laboratory and the reading room, is located on the second floor of the Sir Arthur Currie Memorial Gymnasium. The computer lab houses 28 desktop PCs with audiovisual equipment, connected to the 91社区 network.

The Institute for Human Development and Well-Being (IHDW) is a newly formed research institute led by the Faculty of Education that encourages a transdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach to the study of human development and well-being.
It works across three main axes:
91社区鈥檚 International Centre for Youth Gambling Problems and High-Risk Behaviors has been attempting to identify and understand the underlying determinants and critical factors related to youth gambling problems and their relationship with other adolescent addictive and high-risk behaviours. The ongoing research efforts conducted by Drs. Derevensky and Gupta, along with their graduate students, have been crucial in helping to identify the determinants placing youth at risk for gambling problems, and in the development of empirically based treatment and prevention programs. Of importance has been the Centre鈥檚 role in impacting public health and social policy in an effort to reduce and minimize the harms associated with excessive, problematic gambling.
The Research Centre for Physical Activity and Health brings together specialists from different areas of research to investigate the implications of physical activity on health and well-being. The Centre鈥檚 researchers examine physiological, neuromechanical, or behavioural aspects of physical activity and healthy living, in an attempt to bridge the gap between basic sciences (e.g., cellular physiology) and applied sciences (e.g., clinical exercise physiology) through multidisciplinary research.
