altc 2013

The 20th annual conference of the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) sets out to explore and contribute to building new cultures of learning. From learning tailored to the requirements of one individual to courses educating tens of thousands, the conference will examine evolving learning cultures.

The ALT annual conference, altc, is the UK's main conference for learning technologists and one of the largest conferences of its kind.
