The Association for Learning Technology is a professional and scholarly organisation dedicated to spreading good practice in the use and development of learning technology.

We bring together and support organisations and individuals who use, create, research into or develop technology as an aid to effective teaching, learning and assessment. We also draw on our members expertise to influence policy and to respond to national issues in the learning technology arena.

ALT's Not-for-profit YouTube channel is edited by Matt Lingard, web participation specialist on the ALT Publications Committee. Videos are uploaded and links made that serve to support ALT's charitable objective, which is "to advance education through increasing, exploring and disseminating knowledge in the field of learning technology for the benefit of the general public". For details of our 2011 conference, to be held in Leeds between 6 and 8 September 2011 go to Thriving in a colder and more challenging climate.
