Large-scale curriculum redesign where technology plays a central role

On 21 May 2012 the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) and the Association of Colleges (AoC) are running a one-day conference about large-scale curriculum redesign where technology plays a central role.

There has been a flurry of activity of late around the need for schools to reform through more effective use of learning technology, as exemplified by Michael Gove, the Education secretary’s keynote speech at the comments to the BETT Show (11 January 2012). This signals a clear recognition by ministers of the need to break out of educational silos and think of lifelong learning – from primary to further and adult learning and on to HE. To echo the words of the Secretary of State: “We need (to continue) a serious, intelligent conversation about how technology will transform education.”

The event on 21 May will contribute to this debate and provide participants with practical ideas and strategies for technology-supported curriculum redesign which will have an impact on large numbers of learners. For more information and to book your place, please visit the event page.
