The "Australasian Journal of Educational Technology" was originally published as the "Australian Journal of Educational Technology" by the Australian Society for Educational Technology in 1985, with two issues per year. From 1997-2005, the journal was published jointly by ASCILITE and ASET, and from 2006 by ASCILITE. Publication frequency increased to three issues in 1999, and to four issues in 2005. From 2004, the journal carried a new title containing "
Australasia n" instead of "Australia n", in order to align it with its main sponsor, ASCILITE, and to make it more inclusive to authors from nearby countries.citation|first1=Roger|last1=Atkinson|first2=Cameron|last2=Richards|title=Editorial|journal=AJET|volume=20|issue=1|year=2004|url=http://ascilite.org.au/ajet/ajet20/editorial20-1.html.]In 2007, the AJET board approved a merger from the "International Journal of Educational Technology" (IJET,
