Submit a proposal by noon BST (12:00) Monday 20 May 2024
You have until Monday to submit a proposal for this year's Annual Conference. Taking place in Manchester, UK on 3-5 September, ALTC24 will introduce two new session types, ALTC radio show and emerging research.
If you're not sure how to write a proposal or this is your first time, read our blog on writing a proposal for #ALTC24. We have also published a blog on writing a business case to attend #ALTC24 to help you secure the time and funding to attend.
Doing, reflecting, improving and collaborating
We welcome proposals that focus on the following:
Cultivating Collaboration
Partnerships are increasingly important, both internally and externally. That might be learners as partners, partnerships with vendors, or national and international partners.
- What partnerships are you cultivating?
- What lessons have you learned?
- Are you seeking new partnerships?
Reviewing, Reflecting, Re-imagining - sponsored by Echo360
Part of the learning cycle is to reflect, review, and re-imagine how we do things.
- How do we effectively review, reflect and re-imagine our own work?
- What achievements and challenges have you experienced?
- What reflections do you have on digital learning – that might be approaches to learning, old and new ‘tools’ we’re using well, or in different ways?
- How do we (re-)imagine learning technology post-2024?
Inviting Improvement
- What opportunities do we create for continuing professional development (CPD)?
- How can we leverage the lifelong learning entitlement, digital badging, and digital literacies?
- How do we develop ourselves and others through leadership and coaching?
- How do we include both students and staff in these development opportunities?
- How do we link this to continuous quality improvement in the learning and teaching we support?
Emerging research
Research or case studies focused on learning technology and education practices. Papers submitted to this theme will be published in our Annual Conference 2024 proceedings.
