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)
# Interactive Presentations (a rolling 'show and tell' presentation in
an hour long slot).
Selected Papers resulting from paper sessions and interactive
presentations will be published in ALT's peer-reviewed journal ALT-J.
# Discussion sessions (20 minutes presentation, 5 minutes questions)
Selected papers from discussion groups will be published in the CTI
journal 'Active Learning'.
# Works in progress sessions (15 minutes presentation, 5 minutes
questions)
All accepted abstracts will be published on the web site before the
conference and included in the conference handbook (on the condition
that delegates register for the conference).
CONFERENCE THEMES
