Gain accreditation for learning technology expertise with CMALT

 

 

 

What is CMALT?

CMALT is the professional accreditation scheme developed by ALT (the Association for Learning Technology) for anyone whose work involves learning technology.

The scheme enables candidates to

• have their experience and capabilities certified by peers
• demonstrate that they are taking a committed and serious approach to their professional development

Accreditation is achieved by successful submission of a reflective, online portfolio, which evidences skills and experience in learning technology across four core areas and a specialist area.

UCL staff and CMALT

UCL staff can undertake CMALT accreditation with the Bloomsbury Learning Environment partners.  In the past three years, over 50 staff members have set off on their CMALT voyage with the BLE – many have now achieved their CMALT accreditation. Previous cohorts have comprised academics, librarians, learning technologists, careers advisers and professional support staff who all have a strong interest in learning technology.

You can view further details about CMALT on the ALT website.  there is also this handy document for a brief overview.

Interested in joining the 2018-19 cohort?

An introductory meeting will take place on Thursday 19th July at 3pm in Russell Square, Bloomsbury to explain further what accreditation means and what is involved in achieving it.

Attendance at this meeting will not be taken as commitment to undertake CMALT – it is purely an introduction. Those who do decide to take it forward will join the 4th Bloomsbury cohort, working together with colleagues from across the BLE partners from 1st September 2018.

If you would like to attend this meeting, please complete this short booking form.  If you are unable to attend this meeting, but are keen to find out more (or would like to join the cohort) please sign up anyway to register your interest.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sarah Sherman, BLE Service Manager directly.
