Long time no see! I have been busy - working evidently but also studying as I am now doing the dissertation part of my MA in English at the University of Nottingham. Quite happy about that. But my writings on this - and other non-professional stuffs are happening elsewhere on the web, on my Oxford Paris and other things blog
Anyway... I am now working on building a portfolio for Associate CMALT.
CMALT stands for Certified Membership of the Association for Learning Technology. It is something many learning technology professional go for. It is also something considering for librarians if you have anything to do with learning technology, which I believe you do often.
As stated on the ALT website learning technology is defined as the broad range of communication, information and related technologies that can be used to support learning, teaching and assessment.
Communication, information, related technologies? Yes, definitely something most librarians deal with, sometimes on a daily basis. As it is not something I do full time, there's a pathway called the Associate CMALT which I believe is more relevant.
So this is something I have started working on, helped by the CMALT guidelines and by a few CMALT portfolio found online (please note that once you are registered, you have access to a lot more help and support)
All of the above are CMALT portfolio not Associate CMALT but nevertheless... super-helpful!
So
of course you read some bits of their CMALT portfolio and you fall into
despair: everyone's so intelligent, ready to get everything, knowing
everything... but no... it takes time to build a portfolio, so I'm sure I
can do this, but I don't have to do as much as it is the Associate
CMALT, so fewer points to cover. That counts for something right?
