CMALT

Certified Membership of the Association for Learning TechnologyI am working towards (slowly, I know) the CMALT qualification – Certified Membership of the Association for Learning Technology.

CMALT is a “portfolio-based professional accreditation scheme developed by ALT (the Association for Learning Technology) to enable people whose work involves learning technology to:

  • have their experience and capabilities certified by peers;
  • demonstrate that they are taking a committed and serious approach to their professional development.

CMALT holders are learning technology practitioners, teachers and researchers from across the educational and commercial sectors.

I have found the shared/public portfolios of successful candidates a huge boost to my own self-esteem and progress, of which a few are linked below:

If you are already in the process of working on your CMALT portfolio, please drop me a line, perhaps we can help each out. If you have already completed it, and want to share your work then please do so here too.

Update: July 2011 – I have done it, I have signed up and am now building my portfolio for assessment, collating the evidence required and investigating who would be willing to be my assessor from peers and colleagues.

    Best of luck with the CMALT. You are not alone! I too am preparing for the qualification probably slower than you.

    I am not sure if we got the chance to meet at the eAssessment conference yesterday but I’m glad to have found your blog.

    Best

      Hi Mourad. If we did not get the chance to meet then I am sorry, I hoped to meet as many as I could but with over 300 delegates that was always going to be difficult. I think I had about an hour at around 3PM when I was so tired I wasn’t sure what I was doing so hope we didn’t talk then as I was a little vacant!

      All the best with CMALT, David.

    I have just started my portfolio, gathering everything together, was assured at #ALTC2011 that I would be able to put it together fairly easily and that it is not as complicated as it looks – yeah we’ll see! good luck

      Hi Mel.

      I think it’s as difficult as we want to make it, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. For many of us we’ve not done any formal editing/reviewing of our work other than for internal appraisals, so to have someone else pass ‘judgement’ (I know, it’s not really that, but that’s how it can feel at times) is a daunting prospect.

      All the best, join a few of us in our ‘review and kick each other’ panel here: http://www.dontwasteyourtime.co.uk/cmalt/my-cmalt-portfolio/

      David.
