Dear ALT WM members,<br />
<br />
I write to invite you to a special online meeting of ALT WM, where you have the opportunity to shape the future of the group and how it operates. With short presentations from ALT members from institutions across the region, we will establish our shared challenges and priorities for the next academic year and beyond. You will have the opportunity to share ideas with the steering group for how ALT WM can best support you and the work that you do.<br />
<br />
The steering group is also looking to appoint a new Secretary and new Officers to assist with the planning and organisation of the ALT WM community of practice, so it’s an exciting time to get involved with the group.<br />
<br />
The webinar will take place online, on Friday 9th June from 13:00 – 14:00.<br />
A brief outline of planned activities is include below:<br />
- Introduction to the ALT WM Steering Group: What it is now.<br />
- Presentations from ALT WM Institutions: Challenges and priorities in the West Midlands.<br />
- Discussion: What do you want ALT WM to be?<br />
- Get Involved: Could you join the ALT WM Steering Group?<br />
<br />
Please share details of this event with other interested colleagues and be sure to book your place today!</p>
<p>Tom Pieroni from the Open Data Institute (ODI) will be joining the ALT South #TechThursday event on Thursday 25 May. Tom will discuss data ethics and assessment, using real-world examples to help contextualise the problems and understand the impact of generative AI tools on education</p>
<p>On Friday May 5th 2023 at 11.00am we are lucky to be joined by Matt Voigts for an extended Copyright News. Not only will he be discussing news about copyright – including some interesting stories – but he’ll also be considering what he has learned about the way the media covers copyright.</p>
