<p>An open Teaching and Learning Conversations webinar. See <a href="https://tlcwebinars.wordpress.com/">https://tlcwebinars.wordpress.com/</a> for full details.</p>
<p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Dr Maria Kukhareva, Educational Developer, University of Bedfordshire</p>
<p>This conversation will explore the role of imagination, emotion and sensory input in creating a meaningful learning experience for students. The inspiration for this workshop comes from two fields: drama as pedagogy, and neuroscience – both viewing student’s own subjectivities, emotions and imagination as integral parts of knowledge construction. Maria Kukhareva will be sharing insights from Testbeds collaboration with Yasmin Sidhwa, creative theatre director, which resulted in a series of drama-infused interdisciplinary approaches. There will be opportunity for participants to contribute to the conversation – expect interactivity!</p>
<p>Please join us at this launch in Belfast for networking, inspiration and refreshments.</p>
<p>Maren Deepwell will be cutting the virtual ribbon on the Northern Ireland Members Group in this half day event. The morning will showcase educational technology across Ireland and across all sectors. As this is also International Women’s Day we will also celebrate women’s role in the field.</p>
<p>Confirmed speakers include Paul Gormley (Irish Learning Technology Association), Dianne Hazlett (Ulster University), Stephen McClean (Ulster University), Claire Dewhirst (Queen’s University Belfast) and Paul McElvaney (Learning Pool<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en-GB&q=https://twitter.com/LearningPo... href="https://twitter.com/LearningPool" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/LearningPo<wbr />ol</a><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en-GB&q=https://twitter.com/LearningPo... href="https://twitter.com/LearningPool" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/<wbr />LearningPool</a> ) .</p>

<p>ALT's activities are led by three main operational committees, each of which is chaired by an ALT Trustee, and supported by a member of the ALT staff team. </p>
<p>The Membership Development Committee has oversight of all ALT's member services for individual and organisational members.</p>

<p>Help us develop <a href="https://www.alt.ac.uk/certified-membership">CMALT</a> - ALT’s peer-based professional accreditation scheme for individuals seeking recognition for their skills and experience in Learning Technology.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Have your say and help shape the development of two new pathways to CMALT, one aimed at early career/entry level professionals and one for individuals who are engaged in research or have senior roles and more experience.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In addition to developing the new pathways we are also designing a more structured peer-based approach to supporting individuals undertaking CMALT independently or as part of a group.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Between now and January 2018 we are consulting you in an open consultation both face to face (for example at the the <a href="https://www.alt.ac.uk/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=327">ALT Joint Committees meeting</a> and at <a href="https://www.alt.ac.uk/news/all_news/alt-contributes-world%E2%80%99s-lead...) and online.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In early 2018 we will be piloting the new schemes and introducing the new support framework.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This consultation workshop is an opportunity for you to:</p>
<ul>
