Knowledge, Learning, Community

Britain's Association for Learning Technology (ALT) has released a new strategy. The short PDF descibes the organization's objective as "to advance education through increasing, exploring and disseminating knowledge in the field of Learning Technology for the benefit of the general public." Interestingly, if you read the four sentences of the 'context' section you encounter the word 'change' three times. It reflects accurately the times we live in, but reflects also perhaps ALT's frustration in finding a mission as the world changes around it. The most important paragraph, though, is probably the last: "We have no core funding from central agencies. All our resources are derived from our own activities
and membership."
