Professional development, research & accreditation

We offer microcredentials to Members who successfully take part in our professional development opportunities. 

• Research reviewers: our journal publishes between 25-50 original Open Access research articles each year. RLT publishes articles in the following broad areas: technology enhanced learning, online learning, distance learning, mobile learning, flexible learning, wearable technologies, simulation, learning environments, learning spaces, pedagogy, open educational practice and social media. We are looking for both experienced and new peer reviewers and offer recognition via Publons for our much valued peer reviewers. 
• Research Editorial Board Members: We are seeking applications from individuals interested in serving on the Editorial Board of Research in Learning Technology. This is an outstanding opportunity to apply your expertise and to advance scholarship in the field. We aim to enhance the diversity of our Board. We also aim to broaden our areas of expertise and are interested in receiving applications from individuals whose own reflections on and analyses of learning technology draw upon quantitative, qualitative and/or mixed methods approaches, and from wide-ranging theoretical approaches to learning technology. Editorial Board members serve for a maximum of six years. Board members attend regular online meetings to determine the progress and strategic direction of the journal. Meetings are held three times per year, and Board members are also expected to peer review articles submitted to Research in Learning Technology (a minimum of three per year). To register your interest, kindly contact XXX with a brief statement (maximum 500 words) on how you feel your experience and expertise can advance both the journal and the subject area.  
• Blog Editors: Our #altc blog contains a wide range of posts and articles, including news, opinion pieces, project updates, case studies, book reviews, ‘a week in the life’ summaries of the work of people in the Learning Technology field. Our editorial team oversees the publication of articles being submitted and shapes the editorial direction of the blog. 
• Conference Committee Members: We are looking for Members of the OER23 Conference Committee. Organised by the Association for Learning Technology is the 14th annual conference for Open Education research, practice and policy. The OER Conference Committee plays a vital role and our volunteers contribute their time and expertise including undertaking peer review, chairing sessions and organising local and social activities during the conference.
