Making a difference: How can we demonstrate the impact of learning technology research?

ALT and the Learning Technology Research Institute (London Metropolitan University) have organised a free seminar on demonstrating the impact of learning technology research. The event will take place at London Metropolitan University on 20 March 2012, and the presenter will be Jane Seale, member of the REF Education sub panel.

In this session Jane Seale will:

• provide an overview of the different ways that funders such as ESRC and HEFCE define and conceptualise “impact” and “users of research”;
• offer her personal interpretations, with examples, of how learning technology research might demonstrate impact;
• facilitate debate and reflection regarding how well placed current UK learning technology research is to meet the challenges of demonstrating impact.

The hashtag for this event is #ltrimpact. More information.
