Call for Programme Committee members for ALT-C 2007
1. ALT-C 2007 will be held in Nottingham, UK, 4-6 September 2007. The co-
chairs, Prof Mike Sharples (Nottingham University, UK) and Sharon Waller
(Anglia Ruskin University, UK), are seeking Programme Committee (PC)
members to take an active part in planning the programme, reviewing
papers and (where possible) chairing sessions at the conference. The co-
chairs wish to encourage applications from all areas of education and
from outside the UK.
2. The theme for ALT-C 2007 will be "Beyond control".
The theme reflects that fact that students are constructing their own
informal learning environments through file sharing, social networking,
and mobile communication. These new ways of learning are beyond the
control of formal education, yet educational providers will need to adapt
to the skills and technologies that students bring. There are
opportunities to integrate formal and informal learning and to widen
access to non-traditional learners, but also challenges of ownership,
privacy, scholarship, and security.
3. PC members must be able to commit to:
* reviewing at least 15 abstracts/ short proposals for sessions
and/or
* refereeing at least 2 research papers
- during March and April 2007.
4. Attendance at PC meetings (usually only two) is desirable but not
essential. The first committee meeting will be held in November 2006. It
is important that a good number are available to attend the 24-hour
PC meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime) which is likely to be held in
April 2006 (dates tbc). Reasonable travel, accommodation, and
subsistence expenses will be met. PC members are entitled to a
discount on the conference fee.
