ALT-C 2010 Conference

"Into Something Rich and Strange" - making sense of the sea-change

The 17th International Conference of the Association for Learning Technology 

When: 7th September (8.30am) to 9th September 2010 (13.45pm)
Where: Nottingham University

Learning technology is part of the fabric of formal and informal learning. A sea-change is taking place involving a structural and pervasive shift in the nature of the Internet. Specifically: we and our learners are always connected; the devices we use are growing in capability and diversity; the information environment and the tools and services that we use to navigate and to interact with it and with each other are in great flux.

The challenge posed for education is great. It is to increase effectiveness, productivity, and quality, whilst institutional and agency budgets are reducing, rather than just to promise improvements. At the same time we need to ensure the spread of innovations that are scalable and of long-term value, both educationally and financially, whilst keeping learners and learning at the heart of our thinking.

Keynote Speakers:

Saul Tendler, the University of Nottingham's Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Teaching and Learning
Barbara Wasson, Professor of Pedagogical Information Science at the University of Bergen, Norway; Sugata Mitra, Professor of Educational Technology at Newcastle University 
Donald Clark, Board Member of Ufi, and former CEO of Epic Group plc.

1. the changing paradigms and structures for learning;
2. increasing productivity and effectiveness, whilst mitigating risks;
3. responding to and shaping the organisational landscape;
4. meeting the changing expectations and needs of learners, employers, and society;
