ALT conference 2014

The annual conference by the Association for Learning Technology will this year take place in Warwick, UK, 1-3 September 2014. This year’s topic is “Riding Giants: How to innovate and educate ahead of the wave”. The call for research papers has already been published, and the registration details will follow soon.

As an Associate Member of the ALT, I am definitely planning to go in order to experience the collaborative environment where ideas are being developed and shared among colleagues. 
Talks from previous editions of the conference are published on the ALT YouTube channel and definitely worth perusing.
