Ok, my first post to this blog was about ALT-C 2006, and now here’s only the fourth post and I’ve just returned from ALT-C 2008. Do I apologise? No I don’t! It’s not like I haven’t been busy with other things, honest!

I enjoyed keynotes from:

• Dr Hans Rosling, Professor of International Health, Karolinska Institute, Sweden, and Director, Gapminder Foundation
• Itiel Dror, Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Southhampton
• David Cavallo, Chief Learning Architect for One Laptop Per Child

I also enjoyed:

• Formative Audio Feedback: is FAF a faff?
• Bridging the divide between pedagogy and technology for online learning using learning designs

Also rans:

• Pyjama learning: learners’ transitions
• Different learners, different behaviours: how do different learners engage in online discussion?
• Personalised without prejudice: innovative CPD using web conferencing tools and a multi-layered approach to learning
• Wiki activities: five steps forward
• Digital divide or digital choices? Exploring the experiences of older students using new technologies
• From online to on-campus: using online technologies as a first step in the development of a face-to-face learning community
• Essay exams on computer: fair or unfair?
• Attitudes towards the use of online listening resources for self-study purposes amongst university students of English in Japan
• Pedagogy or technology: shifting perceptions of learning in immersive virtual worlds
