Hi all, ALT is the Association of Learning Technologists. I'm on the (very large) programming committee for the ALT-C conference this year.
It would be excellent to see some papers that take a more critical approach to the way in which the cultures of technology and education intersect. It would be especially good to see some papers that anticipate some of the potential controversies likely to be raised by the Keynote speakers! cheers Ruth ================================ ALT-C 2008: Rethinking the digital divide 9-11 September 2008, Leeds, UK First call for papers and abstracts - deadline, 29 February 2008 Proposals should address up to three of the conference dimensions: global or local; institutional or individual; pedagogy or technology; access or exclusion; open or proprietary; private or public; for the learner or by the learner.
