Dear colleagues,

Apologies for cross posting.  Please note a message about forthcoming 
events from Hayley Willis, ALT Events Administrator

====================================
We have two two Spring workshops coming up in April and May:

*Second Life in real life: exploring the educational possibilities of
multi-user virtual environments*
Thursday, 17 April 2008
National College for School Leadership (NCSL), Nottingham
Presenter: Dr Steven Warburton, King's College, London

The aim of this workshop is to introduce participants to immersive 3D
environments from a practical perspective and to stimulate critical
inquiry into the possibilities that massively multi-user virtual
environments (MUVEs) offer our learning and teaching practice. The
workshop is divided into two sessions.

Booking deadline: Thursday, 3 April 2008
Costs: £100 members, £155 for non-members.

*Bidding and winning: the secrets of successful learning technology
project bids* (due to popular demand)
Thursday, 29 May 2008
National College for School Leadership (NCSL), Nottingham
Presenters: Jeff Haywood, Vice Principal Knowledge Management, Chief
Information Officer & Librarian at University of Edinburgh; Seb Schmoller,
Chief Executive at ALT; and Mark Stiles, Head of Learning Development &
Innovation at Staffordshire University.

Project bids are time-consuming and should not be undertaken lightly;
this workshop will give tips on how to avoid wasted effort and dashed
hopes. Three experienced learning technology project managers, who have
run projects with funds from the JISC and other sources, and who have
judged bids written by others, will share their perspectives on writing
convincing bids for funds.

Kind regards,
