The Association for Learning Technology (ALT) is the leading professional body for Learning Technology in the UK. We represent individual and organisational Members from all sectors including Further and Higher Education and industry. We provide recognition and accreditation for all with a professional interest in Learning Technology.
We are making good progress with the work to develop an ethical framework for professional pratice in Learning Technology.
Our working group now has 60+ members including learners and representation from industry and continues to be led by ALT's Trustees Bella Abrams, Sharon Flynn and Natalie Lafferty.
ALT is preparing a response to the Digital teaching and learning during the coronavirus pandemic: Call for evidence. This call for evidence is seeking a wide breadth of sector input and experience to understand the challenges faced, and lessons learned from remote teaching and learning delivery since the start of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in March 2020.
The call for evidence runs from 3 September 2020 to 14 October 2020.
It is with the deepest of sadness that the ALT community learned of the untimely passing of Emeritus Professor Mark Stiles.
Mark was an early pioneer of learning technologies in the Vocational, Further and Higher Education sectors, indeed when appointed Professor of ‘e Learning’ by Staffordshire University he was one of the very first to carry such a title. He was a strong advocate for the potential technology for good and to improve learning and life chances for all.

Dear Members,

Dear Members
A personal message from Sheila MacNeill, Chair of ALT:
ALT is working hard to support Members during the current crisis and we have put support in place including weekly drop-ins, resources and more on our homepage.
We support our community during this crisis. Our members are under exceptional pressure as institutions plan and implement social distancing measures within learning and teaching. We are regularly updating this page and linked resources.
