................ ALT-C 2003: 8th-10th September, Sheffield I am pleased to announce that registration has now opened for the key conference in educational technology in the UK: ALT-C 2003. Hosted jointly by Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield, it will attract delegates from Europe, Australia, Canada and the US, as well as drawing from the large constituency of educationalists and learning technologists in the UK. I expect it to be particularly topical since it is the 10th Anniversary of ALT, the Association for Learning Technology. Visit our web site on http://www.shef.ac.uk/alt and follow the links to the registration details. The theme this year is Communities of Practice. The conference aims to reflect this theme by offering rich opportunities for delegates to participate in open discussion and debate through a series of workshops, symposia and Communities of Practice sessions. Informed by specialist facilitators, it will be possible for delegates to follow and debate six sub-themes throughout the conference. In addition there will be a strand dedicated to research papers which reflect the same six sub-themes so that delegates can concentrate on these if they so wish. Keynote speakers are Professor Bob Fryer, Chief Executive of the NHS University and Professor Shirley Alexander, Director of the Institute for Interactive Media & Learning, University of Technology, Sydney; Baroness Cathy Ashton, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the DfES, will provide the government perspective. There will also be a high profile debate on a current strategic issue in mass e-learning. For all of you involved in e-learning, whether as a practitioner, a manager, a policy maker, a supplier or as an interested party, this is an opportunity not to be missed. So visit http://www.shef.ac.uk/alt and register for what will undoubtedly be the UK event of 2003 in Learning Technology. My colleagues and I on the Organising Committee look forward to seeing you there.
