Changing the Learning Landscape

Changing the Learning Landscape is about enabling higher education institutions in England, including colleges of further education providing higher education, to bring about change in their strategic approaches to technology in learning and teaching. This project is led by the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education in partnership with ALT, Higher Education Academy, JISC and the National Union of Students. All five partners were involved as a team in authoring this publication

Consultation on open access in the post-2014 Research Excellence Framework

This document gives the ALT response to the current consultation on OA policy for the REF post 2014. The consultation document can be found at http://www.hefce.ac.uk/pubs/year/2013/201316/name,82765,en.html HEFCE had previously consulted on the wording of the consultation. Most of ALT’s suggestions have been taken on board. Overall our message is one of general approval for the direction and most of the detail. We suggest strongly however that any exceptions should be case by case rather than having percentage targets for each discipline/ set of disciplines. This would mean more work for the funders initially but should lead to a cleaner result faster. We also suggest that having large quantities of non-available work should have an effect on impact funds in a formulaic way
