Some projects or teams will have more to report in September 2008 than
they can summarise in an abstract written in February 2008. To take
account of this, the Co-Chairs of the Conference Committee emphasise
that: "in judging proposals, ALT Reviewers will take an understanding
attitude regarding proposals referring to or reporting on work taking
place between now and the date of the conference".
Proposals should address up to three of the conference dimensions:
global or local; institutional or individual; pedagogy or technology;
access or exclusion; open or proprietary; private or public; for the
learner or by the learner.
