See you at ALT-C

I will be attending the ALT-C conference : ALT-C, Beyond Control, Learning technology for the social network generation in Nottingham on 4-6 September 2007.

I'll be there with my colleagues Ale Armellini, Sylvia Jones and Gilly Salmon. We'll be running a practical workshop on Wiki-tivities. I'm writing it now... it should be a good experience.

It's from 4-5.30pm on Wednesday 5th September.

Which methods and techniques using new technologies are of real use?

Writing in the digital age is so much more than delivering information, or traditional stories and poems electronically. Digital forms of literature can include text, hyperlinks, multi-linear plots, superlinear narrative, graphics, interactivity, animation... and so much more.
