2010 ALT Conference (ALT-C 2010)
Call for Conference Chair/Co-Chairs
ALT-C 2010 will take place between 7 and 9 September 2010 at the
University of Nottingham, England.
ALT's Trustees are seeking an experienced Chair (or 2 Co-Chairs) for
the ALT-C 2010 Programme Committee, who will play a major role in
planning ALT-C 2010, and in determining the conference's overall focus.
The role is unremunerated, but travel and subsistence costs will be met
by ALT.
We are looking to appoint a person (or two people) with the following
qualities:
1. National/international standing in the learning technology field.
2. The commitment and vision to make the conference a success.
3. The capacity to chair a major conference, and its programme committee.
4. Enthusiasm for and/or experience of working with ALT.
We would also prefer to appoint someone who has not previously
chaired or co-chaired ALT-C.
Planning and organisation of ALT-C will be the responsibility of the ALT
Director of Development and the Chair/Co-Chairs of the Programme
Committee, with support from key committee members and from the ALT
staff team, in particular the Events Manager and the Director of Operations.
To express your interest, please send a plain text email to me
([log in to unmask]), organised under the 4 headings above,
by 23/1/2009. Expressions of interest from pairs of people interested in
co-chairing with each other can be submitted as a single email. Under
heading 2 we are particularly interested to learn about your ideas for
the 2010 conference, for example suggestions for its main theme and for
how to maximise the impact of the conference. As an informal guideline,
please limit your expression of interest to around 500 words in total.
If you would like to discuss this opportunity informally, call me on
+44(0)114 2586899 or email me at [log in to unmask]
A call for Programme Committee members for ALT-C 2010 will be issued
at the 2009 ALT Conference.
Please note that we also very much welcome "without prejudice"
expressions of interest to chair ALT-C in future years.
