ALT is the leading professional body for Learning Technology in the UK. We support a collaborative community for individuals and organisations from all sectors including Further and Higher Education and industry and provide professional recognition and development. Membership is open to all with a professional interest in using digital technologies for learning, teaching and assessment.
We are taking action to support ALT Members who are taking part in forthcoming strike action in the UK [University and College Union (UCU) announcement of strike action on pensions and on pay and working conditions, Thursday 20 February - Friday 12 March].
Have you thought about becoming a Member of the Association for Learning Technology, the leading professional body for Learning Technologists? We offer different membership options, including membership for individuals, or memberships for organisations. Our community welcomes everyone who is actively involved in understanding, managing, researching, supporting or enabling learning with the use of Learning Technology.

ALT awards Honorary Life Membership to individuals nominated by Members who have made an outstanding and sustained contribution to the advancement of ALT’s aims for the development of learning technology in a regional, national or international context through research, practice, policy-development, leadership, or a combination of these.
Oxford Brookes University has been the host institution of the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) since October 1999.
From 1 February 2018, we will be entering a new phase of the relationship between the two institutions as the Association becomes a fully virtual, distributed organisation and employs staff directly.
Over the last decade the hosting relationship has not only supported operations and staff but led to joint work on Learning Technology projects and initiatives with the University being an active and engaged Member Organisation of ALT.
The Annual General Meeting took place on 6 September 2017 at the University of Liverpool, UK during the ALT Annual Conference 2017.
Each year we issue an open call for Members to become more involved in the work of ALT. To get involved in any of the areas listed below, please complete this short form: http://go.alt.ac.uk/2rEx9GM by 25 August. This Call includes Operational Committees and also other activities of ALT. We seek expressions of interest from:
all sectors of education and training including schools, vocational education, Higher Education and work-based learning
The ALT West Midlands Members Group met on 14 November at Coventry University, and two of us from ALT had the privilege of joining the meeting.
The theme was ‘Disruptive Learning’ and we heard a series of fascinating short talks on the subject, from ‘Disrupting borders’ to ‘Disruptive Technology’. We were encouraged to see disruption as a positive force for change and learnt about examples.
Do your disruption because you really want to achieve something.
