ALT-C 2011 - 0107 Preparing for a Thaw – Seven Questions to Make Sense of the Future Adam Cooper, Scott Wilson Asking questions about the future is a timeless human activity that is brought to the fore in times of change.
Learning technology is clearly situated in our wider environment and how we engage with it is bound up with our culture and history. This means that when looking to the future, the ‘wisdom of crowds’ is likely to provide as rich a picture of what is to come as expert opinion. Thomcochrane.wikispaces.

I want to talk about some principles for "Digital Professionalism" which have been put forward by Rachel Ellaway in the journal Medical Teacher last year. The journal is paywalled so I am going to give the principles here. The 7 principles are: Principle #1: establish and sustain an on online professional presence that befits your responsibilities while representing your interests. Principle #2: use privacy controls to manage more personal aspects of your online profile and do not make anything public that you would not be comfortable defending as professionally appropriate in a court of law.

I have no idea if this will work as planned or is something that people will engage with. Amplification of conferences is something that has been happening for a while and I have discussed at length in a previous blog post. In that post I talked about my social media experience of the ALT Conferences I had attended since 2003. ALT-C 2011: Thriving in a colder and more challenging climate. ALT-C 2011. Thriving in a colder and more challenging climate The 18th international conference of the Association for Learning Technology was held at the University of Leeds, UK, 6-8 September 2011. Keynote and Invited Speaker videos are available on ALT's not-for-profit YouTube Channel. In 2011, education systems throughout the world are attempting to do more, better, and often with less. As the political, economic, social, agency and technological landscapes change, it is tempting for people in the learning technology community simply to "go on with vigour, hoping for the best"*.
