Blended Learning Essentials Project reports
Full text linkBlended Learning Essentials is a free suite of online courses for the Vocational Education and Training sector to promote effective practice and pedagogy in blended learning.
The courses were run and supported from 2016 onwards by a consortium of partners funded by Ufi Charitable Trust. The lead partners were the University of Leeds, the UCL Institute of Education, the Association for Learning Technology (ALT), and FutureLearn.
The Blended Learning Essentials (BLE) courses are for anyone working in further education, skills training, vocational education, workplace learning, lifelong learning or adult education, who wants to learn about and implement blended learning.
The project reports cover engagement and marketing work undertaken during this project phase to reach the courses’ key audiences and work undertaken during this project phase to develop and promote the pathways to accreditation available to course participants.
These reports are shared by ALT as a project partner on behalf of the BLE Project under a CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Association for Learning Technology Annual Survey 2017 Data and Report
Full text linkThis is the fourth Association for Learning Technology (ALT) Annual Survey. As with previous years, the survey was advertised predominately to ALT Members but at the same time promoted publically, and responses were collected between December 2017 and January 2018. The ALT Annual Survey contains a common core of questions asked in all annual surveys. This year the survey was supplemented with additional questions specifically aimed at gaining feedback for Certified Member of ALT (CMALT) framework and to identify other priorities 2018

Some aspects of grading Java code submissions in MOOCs
Full text linkRecently, massive open online courses (MOOCs) have been offering a new online approach in the field of distance learning and online education. A typical MOOC course consists of video lectures, reading material and easily accessible tests for students. For a computer programming course, it is important to provide interactive, dynamic, online coding exercises and more complex programming assignments for learners. It is expedient for the students to receive prompt feedback on their coding submissions. Although MOOC automated programme evaluation subsystem is capable of assessing source programme files that are in learning management systems, in MOOC systems there is a grader that is responsible for evaluating students’ assignments with the result that course staff would be required to assess thousands of programmes submitted by the participants of the course without the benefit of an automatic grader. This paper presents a new concept for grading programming submissions of students and improved techniques based on the Java unit testing framework that enables automatic grading of code chunks. Some examples are also given such as the creation of unique exercises by dynamically generating the parameters of the assignment in a MOOC programming course combined with the kind of coding style recognition to teach coding standards
ALT Strategy, February 2017 - January 2020
Full text linkThe Association for Learning Technology (ALT) represents individual and organisational Members from all sectors and parts of the UK. Our Membership includes practitioners, researchers and policy makers with an interest in Learning Technology. Our community grows more diverse as Learning Technology has become recognised as a fundamental part of learning, teaching and assessment.
Our charitable objective is "to advance education through increasing, exploring and disseminating knowledge in the field of Learning Technology for the benefit of the general public". We have led professionalisation in Learning Technology since 1993.
This strategy sets out our aims for 2017-2020:
Increasing the impact of Learning Technology for the wider community, strengthening recognition and representation for the Membership at a national level and leading professionalisation for individual Learning Technology professionals in a broad range of roles
