What are we looking for?

We are looking for case studies of using for example lecture capture, online assessment or blended learning and, more broadly, using digital technology for learning, teaching and assessment that address or have ethical implications.

Development of FELT

The development of the framework was led by an open working group. The working group was led by ALT Trustees Bella Abrams, Sharon Flynn and Natalie Lafferty and included learners and representatives from industry.  

Work to establish ALT’s new ethical framework started in October 2020. Following the initial period of establishing the working group and holding regular meetings, we collected input and feedback which informed the next phase of work. 

Work progresses on ALT's Ethical Framework

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.
