ALT’s Framework for Ethical Learning Technology (FELT) is designed to support individuals, organisations and industry in the ethical use of learning technology across sectors. It forms part of ALT’s strategic aim to strengthen recognition and representation for Learning Technology professionals from all sectors.

Work to establish ALT’s new ethical framework has progressed well since October 2020 and we are now in the final weeks of the first phase of development. Following the initial period of establishing the working group and holding regular meetings, we have collected input and feedback which will inform the next phase of work. From March to September 2021, we have been working to draft, consult on and then finalise the framework and tools for launch at the Annual Conference in September.

Future of Edtech

We recently worked with Business and Industry on the 2021 Future of EdTech campaign. A printed publication was enclosed within every copy of the Guardian newspaper and the content is available online.
