Programme is perhaps to grand a word for a self-organised fringe, but we do have events, dates and times, and places to hold them. And here they are, add your own, its as easy as that!
| Activity | Description | Date | Time | Place | Moderator | Speakers |

| Monday 7 Sept | ||||||
| Postdigital | What does this mean? Why is it not two words? Is it just Dave making-up another term in an attempt to get keynote gigs? No, it actually has some substance to it and could be a very helpful way of framing the learning-tech discussion over the next few years. If you are sceptical about all this then you should definitely turn-up. The chances of an argument breaking out are very high. Think of this as your mental warm-up for ALT. | Monday 7th | 8pm | Lass-o-Gowrie (map) We will be in 'The Snug' room from about 7.30pm. This is limited to 20 people on a first come first to get a seat basis. We will attempt to stretch the discussion out into the main bar if possible though. | Dave White Ian Truelove (via Twitter) Richard Hall | |
| Tues 8 Sept | ||||||
| mPLE first public outing | "An outing is a short enjoyable trip, usually with a group of people, away from your home, school, or place of work" Public demo of the Manchester PLE, to start to build a community around the PLE and its use. Also, a chance to see some related work with personalised search, and drink cold larger after a hot Mancunian day (or rainy day, as the case may be) | Tues 8 Sept | 6pm | Very close to the conference location | Mark van Harmelen | Mark, developers, others to be announced |
| Edubloggers Meetup | 5th Annual edublogging meetup. This years theme is Music Sharing & Services. This will take place off campus, in a central venue, and obviously involve music :) Everyone interested in blogging & the social web for education welcome. | Tuesday 8 Sept | 8pm onwards | Contact Theatre | Hosts/DJs - Josie Fraser | |
| Invisible and Transparent Technologies | Learning technologies work best in enhancing and enriching learning when they are transparent and invisible to the learner and the practitioner. This will be a demonstration of invisible and transparent technologies to support learning. | Tuesday 8 Sept | 8.15pm | Wherever the "Edubloggers Meetup" is... | H G Wells | James Clay |
| Wed 9 Sept | ||||||
| Official unofficial party  | Party, what's that? | Wed 9 Sept | 8-2pm Timing suitable for those not going to the conf dinner, or stopping in the way back from the dinner to chez uni res | Odder, Oxford Rd, opposite the BBC, half way from the Uni to the city center (map). Not the Odd Bar in the city centre!   | LOCATION: Provided enough people arrive we have the whole upstairs (large) reserved for us. If the upstairs becomes open to the public we'll just use the far end of it. FOOD: Odder sell food till 9. You can pre-order for groups of 10 or more, or order off a menu. Menu link soon MUSIC: We are still organising our own DJs for top music (popular in various styles; nothing extreme), details soon | The only speakers are you pontificating to ur mates |
| Thurs 10 Sept | ||||||
| Digital Literacy/Digital Britain/Digital Rights/Net Neutrality | DigiLit? DigiBrit? Here we are now; entertain us! Is it all about the consumption of more stuff via more paid-for channels and the pro/persecution of evil file-sharers who threaten social order? Or can the Digital Britain agenda be seen as an opportunity to widen access not only to 21st century autos-da-fé but to a wider critically connected commons? How can we get people in education active in supporting the principles of net neutrality and internet access as fundamental right? [Note from Seb at ALT - you may wish to add comments to the discussion post at http://altc2009.alt.ac.uk/posts/6168255.] | Thursday 10 Sept | 2pm - after lunch on the last day | Lass-o-Gowrie (map) | Josie Fraser George Roberts Scott Wilson | |
| move to date time order, or if wiki-uncertain, put in a date and time and someone will move it for you | ||||||
| What has Fair Isle knitting to tell us about adopting social media in teaching and learning? | More than you might think - the latest in a long line of links between technology and textile crafts will touch on economics, history, Iceland, creativity, innovation, patterns, WYSIWIG, Edward VII and social learning. All in less than 10 minutes - intrigued? you will be!  and no - that's not me on the left! | Weds | Lunch time - 1.30 | Frances Bell | ||
| Whinge and Support Group | Are you using technology in your teaching and finding barriers at your Uni? Is your sanity slipping? Fancy a good whinge? Let’s meet one night to compare horror stories from the trenches, encourage each other and have some laughs. | Tara Alexander | ||||
| Deschooling society | Love learning: hate education. What roles should universities and schools have in today's world? Are there better ways of supporting learning. Are schools a barrier for learning in our society? Could technology be better used to support learning outside institutions. | Thurs | 2.30 | Lass-o-Gowrie (map) | Graham Attwell | |
| UEL HABitat Virtual Event | The week before ALT-C, UEL School of Health and Bioscience will be launching its brand new SL island featuring virtual lab experiments, CSI scenarios, a clinic with virtual patients and much more. For F-ALT we have set up a virtual area with goody bags and fun activites, and most of the island will be available to explore. This will be a free event for anyone to drop in virtually either just before, after or during ALT-C. There will also be scheduled tours held by the external developer (Gemixin Ltd) at set times during this period. Download the info here | Thursday 3rd September until Monday 21st September | 24 hours | http://slurl.com/secondlife/UEL%20HABitat/101/115/25/?title=UEL%20HABitat | Gemma McLean (Gemixin Ltd) and Rose Heaney (UEL) |
