Now our thoughts are turning to this year\u2019s Annual Conference, 8-10 September, at the University of Manchester. With an expanded programme and a great line up of keynote and invited speakers, a new #altc game and this year\u2019s Learning Technologist of the Year Awards there is a lot to look forward to. Developed by Martin Hawksey our conference platform<\/a> is definitely worth a visit to browse the programme, find out who\u2019s exhibiting and supporting the conference and find practical information in the run up to September. This month we will also be publishing who the finalists for this year\u2019s Awards<\/a> are and you will be able to find out about their work and vote for your favourite.<\/p>\n
