It’s great when groups that you’re associated with make positive steps for change and growth. I’m a member of the Irish Learning Technology Association (ILTA), and we are launching our new website at 12.30 IST (UTC+1) tomorrow at 1st October 2009.
The old ILTA site was basically a generic Moodle implementation; the new site will feature:
- ILTA News
- Research Corner
- E-Learning Practitioner Information
- eLearning/Industry Collaborations
- Continuing Professional Development
- Members Area
- Event Calendar
The site will also provide networking opportunities for ILTA members, and a one-stop-shop 
information for the wider community.
The website launch event will be synchronously webcast, and Gráinne Conole (Professor of e-Learning at the Open University) is smashing the bottle of champagne against the server to christen the endeavor.
The Irish Learning Technology Association is a community of education professionals and academics who are committed to the development and exchange of knowledge by sharing expertise and the promotion of best practice in technology-enhanced learning.
The aims of the ILTA are:
- To support a community, interested in enhancing learning with technology, across corporate, formal and informal learning sectors.
- To encourage collaboration between members and foster engagement between ILTA members and the wider community.
- To raise the profile of research and the dissemination of best practice in enhancing learning with technology across Ireland.
- To represent ILTA members nationally and internationally.
- To establish a framework for continuous professional development that will increase the skills and knowledge of the ILTA community.
