Opportunities for leaders and institutions

For experienced professionals, we offer opportunites to advance and develop your professional practice, including CMALT accreditation pathways to a senior level and mappings to other professional frameworks, opportunities to network via local Member and Special Interest Groups, new research in Learning Technology, analysis of current trends and ways to keep informed about ALT's ethical framework for Learning Technology

 

Next Event: ALT Winter Summit

Our winter summit will take place on Tuesday 12th December 2023. In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, ethics are paramount, especially as Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more available and accessible. The role of educators, technologists, senior managers and leaders in guiding ethical AI adoption has, therefore, never been more crucial.
