University hosts international learning technology conference

This week the University is hosting The 24th Annual Conference of the Association for Learning Technology (Alt-C), bringing together practitioners, researchers and policy makers from across sectors.

The conference aims to chart the development of Learning Technology from isolated islands of ‘innovation’ to becoming the new normal and the challenges this entails for staff and learners alike. There are 450 registered participants from across the globe with 30 University of Liverpool colleagues presenting and chairing sessions.

The conference is being Co-Chaired by Professor Helen O’Sullivan, Associate PVC for Online Learning and Pete Alston, Lecturer in Learning Technology in the School of Life Sciences.

Co-Chair Helen O’Sullivan said: “I am really excited to be part of this opportunity to showcase our innovative and talented colleagues and the work that they do. Online learning and technology enhanced learning play a key part in our plans to deliver Strategy 2026 and this conference will cement Liverpool’s reputation as a centre of excellence for online learning and innovation”.
