The ALT annual conference has and continues to be an opportunity to come together and celebrate the recent achievements in technology enhanced learning. As with previous years we are looking to maximise the benefit to members by Live streaming via Adobe Connect and the ALT YouTube Channel a number of the sessions and reaction from presenters, chairs and delegates. For altc2013 we will also be launching a new conference website to allow delegates to connect and share their knowledge and expertise. Using techniques applied in ALT's Open Course in Technology Enhanced Learning (ocTEL) a dedicated site has been created focusing on capturing as much of the conference activity in 3rd party spaces such as personal blogs and social networks, sharing this back to the community. In this orientation session Steve Milligan (Collaborate) and Martin Hawksey (ALT) will host an orientation session designed to highlight the main features of the live feed and conference site.
