2009 ALT Conference (ALT-C 2009)
Call for Conference Chair/Co-Chairs
ALT-C 2009 will take place between 8 and 10 September 2009 at the
University of Manchester, England.
ALT's Trustees are seeking an experienced Chair (or 2 Co-Chairs) for
the ALT-C 2009 Programme Committee, who will play a major role in
planning ALT-C 2009, and in determining the conference's overall focus.
The role is unremunerated, but travel and subsistence costs will be met
by ALT.
We are looking to appoint a person (or two people) with the following
qualities:
1. National/international standing in the learning technology field.
2. The commitment and vision to make the conference a success.
3. The capacity to chair a major conference, and its programme committee.
4. Enthusiasm for and/or experience of working with ALT.
We would also prefer to appoint someone who has not previously
chaired or co-chaired ALT-C.
Planning and organisation of ALT-C will be the responsibility of the ALT
Director of Development (post due to be filled in April 2008) and the
Chair/Co-Chairs of the Programme Committee, with support from other key
committee members and ALT staff, including Seb Schmoller (Chief
Executive) and Marion Samler (Director of Operations).
To express your interest, please send a plain text email to me
([log in to unmask]), organised under the 4 headings above,
by 1/4/2008. Under heading 2 we are particularly interested to learn
about your ideas for the 2009 conference, for example suggestions for
its main theme and for how to maximise the impact of the conference. As
an informal guideline, please limit your expression of interest to
around 1000 words in total.
If you would like to discuss this opportunity informally, call me on
+44(0)114 2586899 or email me at [log in to unmask]
A call for Programme Committee members for ALT-C 2009 will be issued
during May.
Please note that we also welcome "without prejudice" expressions of
interest to chair ALT-C in future years.
