About ALT

Founded in 1993, the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered charity number 1160039, and the UK's leading membership organisation in the Learning Technology field. ALT’s purpose is to ensure that the use of Learning Technology is effective and efficient, informed by research and practice, and grounded in an understanding of the underlying technologies, their capabilities, and the contexts in which they are used. Learning Technology is defined as the broad range of communication, information and related technologies that can be used to support learning, teaching, and assessment.

We do this by bringing together practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in Learning Technology to improve practice, promote research, and influence policy. More details about ALT can be found here: https://www.alt.ac.uk/about-alt; or read the latest news and views on the #ALTC Blog.
