Description:

ALT is piloting a monthly 'Community Call' where we speak to ALT Members about their work. For next call we speak with  John Couperthwaite (@<a href="https://twitter.com/johncoup">johncoup</a>) consultant at PebblePad and also active in a number of ALT committees. In this month's call, John will discuss how generating smart data about our learners is not enough. Smarter tools are required to help them, their tutors, supervisors and careers advisors, make better sense of how the data relates to the individual, including their attitudes to learning, academic accomplishments, life-wide interests and future aspirations. Examples of emerging practice in personal tutoring, research supervision and support employability will be introduced. We also talk about to John about his involvement in ALT’s Membership Development Committee and his experiences of being involved in ALT as a consultant for commercial organisation.

We will be hosting this session as a Google Hangout On Air and you can watch the call from the <a href="https://plus.google.com/events/cgt0mi4nsggaeffee7jabbm3hr8">Google+ page</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EVTUWR8hR4">YouTube Channel</a> or embedded in this page below. You can ask questions during the call from the <a href="https://plus.google.com/events/cgt0mi4nsggaeffee7jabbm3hr8">Google+ page Q&A</a> or via Twitter by tagging it #altc.
