Received confirmation a couple of weeks ago that I now have CMALT status!
It was a useful exercise for me and brought a few work related issues into focus. Although I submitted on an individual basis all of the aspects of the application were projects and tasks that I’ve under taken as part of a group of people. I basically wrote it up and thought about it a little. I can also use it as post mominal letters, if I wish to do so.

I attended the ninth annual Durham Blackboard Users’ Conference on January 8th and 9th. This was my second attendance at the conference, however, this time I presented at one of the sessions along with my colleague.
We presented on a project I am involved with at work which is about lecture and event capture implementation and use (ReCap). From the feedback we’ve received it was a successful presentation, with several questions fielded afterwards. I think in the near future we will be welcoming several visits from other HEIs and FEs about our service.
Full details about the conference can be found here.
Here is the PowerPoint presentation of our talk.
The facilities offered by Durham University for the event were first class. The Calman Learning Centre was a great venue, well equiped, spacious and a great vista of Durham City with the Cathedral being the focal point. I look forward to the next one in January 2010.
I stumbled across this site today and thought it might be of interest to some of you?
A comprehensicve PDF guide and tutorial can be viewed at this url:

Lots of Q and As on how to use PDF without actually having Adobe Acrobat as well as tips and hints on how to use and manage files. Worth a look in my opinion.
BTW – Happy new Year!
