The full interactive programme for the Annual Conference 2017 ‘Beyond islands of innovation – how Learning Technology became the new norm(al)’ is live. Registration has closed.
Programme: http://go.alt.ac.uk/altc_prog
For those unable to travel to the Annual Conference from Ireland, the ALT Northern Ireland Members Group have organised a free virtual get together for 5 and 6 September in Belfast. This will include streaming of the main sessions from the conference.
In this webinar, Sarah Tutton (PGCE Student) and Geoff Rebbeck (Lecturer) from Canterbury Christ Church University will showcase students’ use of PebblePad workbooks and assets to improve their own educational experience and prepare for life after the PGCE. They will discuss how they used PebblePad as a personal learning space to document placements all over the world and produce a final portfolio that can be added to even after graduation. This webinar is suitable for anyone looking to refresh the design of their PGCE and/or those thinking of adopting an ePortfolio solution.
This free webinar previews the third part of the Blended Learning Essentials open course for the Vocational Education and Training sector, designed to support the development of learners’ digital skills in the workplace. Register: http://go.alt.ac.uk/2ivqrAf
Maren Deepwell, ALT’s chief executive, writes on this subject for FE News.
Learning Technology plays an ever more central role in education at all levels. With this comes the need to measure excellence in this field and determine what good practice looks like.
