Our partnership with the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) is invested in building a long-term community of practice with a lasting legacy of high-quality digital learning, teaching and assessment in vocational education.
Our shared objective is to increase the value of networking for professionals that will help vocational educators to discover, share and discuss the resources, training and support they need to develop their digital pedagogical skills and enhance how vocational learning in the UK happens.
"We are moving to design a better blended experience for everyone in further and vocational education. Sharing expertise and developing the necessary skills is key to success as we scale up the intelligent use of learning technology."
Dr Maren Deepwell, CEO, ALT
Background
In FE and across vocational education providers generally, dedicated roles for learning technology are less common than in other parts of the education system. As a result, professional recognition and CPD for taking on an increase in responsibility for digital delivery is vital.
The Association for Learning Technology is the sector body for learning technology professionals from all educational sectors. ALT works to advance education through increasing, exploring and disseminating knowledge in the field of Learning Technology for the benefit of the general public.
Together, ALT and Ufi are working to create a supportive, authentic and connected community of practice that will help support the development, adoption and deployment of learning technology in vocational education.
