>CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
>ALT-C 99 will examine the entire life-cycle of learning technology,
>from initial design through to implementation and outcome evaluation.
>Effective use of learning technology depends upon integration within
>traditional academic and curricular frameworks, and ALT-C 99 will focus
>on discipline-base implementation and address associated issues of
>policy and staff development.
>
>Each day of the conference will address one of the three themes of
>Design, Practice and Outcomes.
>
>Day 2 of the conference will study the implementation of technology
>from a practitioner’s perspective, and discipline-specific sessions
>will be run in conjunction with the CTI (Computing in Teaching
>Initiative) in collaboration with other higher education projects and
>programmes.
>
>You are invited to submit one or more proposals by 9 APRIL 1999 related
>to the conference theme as follows:
>
># Paper Sessions (20 minutes presentation, 5 minutes questions)
>Paper proposals should describe either original work which has given
>rise to substantial results or policy initiatives which have a
>significant impact on educational practice.
>
># Interactive Presentations (a rolling 'show and tell' presentation in
>an hour long slot).
>Criteria are the same as for paper proposals, but material should be
>more suited to being presented interactively.
>
>Selected Papers resulting from paper sessions and interactive
>presentations will be published in ALT's peer- reviewed journal ALT-J.

>journal 'Active Learning'.
