Have you thought about becoming a Member of the Association for Learning Technology, the leading professional body for Learning Technologists? We offer different membership options, including membership for individuals, or memberships for organisations. Our community welcomes everyone who is actively involved in understanding, managing, researching, supporting or enabling learning with the use of Learning Technology. 

Since we launched the Open Covid Pledge for Education, more than 100 open educators and more than 40 organisations have pledged to share their knowledge to support the educational response to COVID-19.
