ALT-C Blogs
Various interesting reflections on the conference
Lis: A thought having read Haydn's blog post on the "LT for the social network generation" theme - one of the main messages coming out of that was 'people need to take small steps' yet in the other theme group I was in, people were saying that radical change was required. Clearly both are needed at different times, perhaps radical change is only likely with a change of senior management.
I couldn't really say this on my blog but the learning spaces theme summary was a bit gloom and doom in places. I'd be interested in any news from the international strand. Was the view optimistic?
Chris H: I found ALT-C 2006 to be a massively inspiring event, which ultimately led to the start of the Learning Lab, a number of project bids and greater collaboration on e-learning within some areas of the University. So, how did ALT-C 2007 match up?
Bit of a curate’s egg actually. Some good discussions, interesting sessions and some of the most boring presentations I’ve even seen. I did come to one overwhelming conclusion with a few colleagues but more of that later.
