George Holt, Head of Department, summarizes key learnings from his visit to educational institutions in Finland and Austria as part of the Partners in VET-EU program. He observed that Finland's education system is ranked #1 by the OECD and focuses on developing well-rounded, respectful citizens through social partnerships between community, businesses, and educators. Students in Austria receive high-quality workplace training led by industry, with the Vorarlberg state having the highest living standards. Future projects discussed include strengthening social partnerships and community involvement in education, increasing teacher professionalism and respect, and developing more work-based learning opportunities for students.
To (too?) Public: library Marketing and Public Relations in Public Libraries Today. Presentation by Audrey Sutton, Manager Information and Culture, North Ayrshire Council, Scotland
Contact me for the accompanying transcript which includes much more information!
As Indigenous Peoples continue to reclaim their Traditional Knowledge (TK) and materials from independent collectors and collecting institutions, such as academic libraries, numerous problems arise around ownership, access and preservation. This talk will focus on the role of local Indigenous knowledge bases in this process. The Indigenous Knowledge Management Systems initiative in Australia will be examined, and recommendations will be provided within the frameworks of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIPS) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Recommendations. The talk will inspire libraries to challenge current colonialist practices associated with academic librarianship and provide insight into viable alternatives.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
