Heritage of any nation is best represented by its culture, beliefs and traditions. A subset of these that has given India, a profound identity for India is Art. Art forms in India exist since time immemorial. Over the past century, Indian Art has undergone through vast and diverse change in their forms that exist in the present. For instance, the themes chosen by the traditional painters were societal. But later with the emergence of modernists followed by the contemporaries, the facets of Indian painting were changed radically.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

SUMMARIES OF THE ORIGINAL MARATHI
ARTICLES IN ENGLISH:
This presentation is a photo - biographical album in a nutshell of R.P.Joshi. This is his life sketch
published while he was alive and also after the death that narrates his humble beginning in a village
called “Ale wadi” near India’s famous Tarapur Atomic plant. R.P. was Born on 12th March 1911. His
father was inborn artist who use to sculpt Ganpati's idols in clays for Ganesh traditional festival. R.P.
was brought up in such art environment. His eldest brother Gajanan P. Joshi encouraged him to
settled in Mumbai which was a turning point of his life. After completing matriculation of Bombay
University he opted for art but due to adverse economic conditions joining Sir J.J.School which was
a distant dream. He managed to learn in art school run by the famous artist Haldankar. His
guidence for his Drawing Teacher, Drawing Master, Art Master diplomas brought him merits. This
allowed him to get little connected to Sir J.J.School for appearing these examinations. Earn and
learn was his life mission to overcome life difficulties. 1939 he got connected to the young aspiring
professional artist friends namely M.S.Joshi, S.K.Thosar, Rajabhau Patkar and others firstly as
student then as a teaching and founding member of Model Art Institute at Dadar-Mumbai. This was
like a launching platform for future artist and art educationist career of R.P.J. During this time i.e.
1939 to 1964 they together participated in art exhibitions and group shows getting awards and
recognition as an artist in the Mumbai’s art world (BOMBAY). 1949 was major change for R.P.Joshi
who became the lecturer in textile design and colour in the famous V.J.T.I. (then known as Victorian
Technical Institute one of the pioneering education hub for Engineering and Textile Technology in
India). This expanded R.P.Joshi’s world of art connecting to science and technology. He made his
mark in colour research that encompassed art and science. His several research study papers
published in all over India’s textile journals during nearly two decades gave new identify for him
besides being an artist and art educationist. 1985 his co-authored poster research presentation
with physicist Dr. Mrs. Shalini Patwardhan on the subject “Colour in costumes of India” at Monte
Carlo France gave him international recognition in the subject colour he persuaded in his life of 76
years. His work in child art education is also commendable. R.P.Joshi’s world of art was holistic
encompassing various facets of life and science. R.P.Joshi died on 19th May 1987. My humble effort
is to present R.P.Joshi’s water colour still life, on the spot landscapes and textile’s jacquards woven
portraits, designs, all this treasure is covered here in my series of this bio-graphical power point
presentations. His writings on Art started from 1942 till 1980 six years before his death. His eight
children out of which six are groomed from six different visual art disciplines namely architecture,
art masters, printing technology, drawing and painting and textile design, commercial art and
sculpture and modelling is a treasure he left. His wife Indumati the lovable homemaker was also a
gifted singer though could not pursue as practice, was gifted knitting crochet craftsperson whose
table cloths and knitted cloths left lovely memories. Textile’s jacquards woven portraits, designs
and knitting crochet crafts together were a great exposure for the R.P.Joshi’s family.

SUMMARIES OF THE ORIGINAL MARATHI
ARTICLES IN ENGLISH:
The introductory article of Raobahadur M. V. Dhurandher famous Indian painter of British era on
his birth centenary remembrance event held in Mumbai in 1968. This artist is well documented in
the history of Indian art, so the information may be repetitive but here this article emphasis on the
artist quality who created new visual narratives after Raja Ravi Varma. M. V. Dhurandher’s artistic
work if counted goes to nearly 5000. R.P.Joshi trying to focus artist as great teacher of art.
Next article covers the contemporary of M. V. Dhurandher, Mr. S.L.Haldankar who was also
known internationally as great Indian artist. This was written to remember him after his sad demise
on June 30 1968. This article is an appreciation of his work which gives insights about the colour
palette especially Persian blue. This colour is difficult to control due to its strong visual quality. Mr.
S.L.Haldankar was at ease while handling its various shades. He may not be appreciative of modern
art but was very open minded as regards to demonstrate his artistic magic’s secrets. He would be
eager to share his art wherever invited with no reservations. Its short yet interesting write up.
This article covers Artist M.R.Achrekar who was next generation of M. V. Dhurandher,
Mr. S.L.Haldankar. The government of India honored M.R.Achrekar with the title ‘Padmashri’ in
1968 which was the reason that covers in brief his achievements in this article. M.R.Achrekar was
versatile artist who was also well known in Indian film industry as creative art director for famous
RK films. His search for east and west through human anatomy drawings in the book RUPABHED is
only of its kind in visual art study. Professional artist of his caliber in India raised the level of post
Indian art.
Madhav Satwalekar the contemporary to M.R.Achrekar, is considered an important 20th-century
artist of India who achieved recognition for his depiction of scenes from Contemporary life and
landscape paintings. This article written by R.P.Joshi was covering his one man painting show at the
then Taj Art Gallery. This also covers brief biography of the artist.
Amole Palekar who became an iconic actor in Indian Film Industry for his various roles and known
as an intellectual film director. This article (1971) is important in a sense which presents his early
roots in Fine Art as an able artist. This discuss his painterly qualities exhibited in the art painting
show at the then Taj Art Gallery.

‘Curriculum of Architecture course’-by R.P. Joshi, A.M. Published in Loksatta daily news paper in
16/7/1955 : It is interesting to see the art educationist in R. P. Joshi was aware of the importance
of such courses when the literacy of visual art and science together was unknown. The issue
discussed here is about creating provisions to run parallel the diploma and degree courses for the
benefit of aspiring students. Architecture diploma course was started in Sir J.J.School of Art by the
Britishers as vocational to create architectural draftsman to meet the need of housing construction
business. The vision was also to groom future architects. This course was redefined and was
affiliated to Bombay (Mumbai) University converting it into Degree Course. The old diploma course
was terminated with the result, those who could not get into the new degree course were helpless.
To meet the growing demand R. P. Joshi suggested the above said solution to the concern
authority. He quotes all the details possible to think seriously about his suggestions.
Art Education and UNESCO’s report : 26/2/1965 : This is about the introduction of UNESCO’s
report on art education global standards expected to be followed by art institutions all over the
world. The focus is on blending art activities with general education for the all sided development
of a child worldwide. Dance, Drama, Music and Art allows a child to express freely thereby helping
a child to self actualize the potentials. It helps for the intellectual growth of a child to make a future
adult as sensible citizen. When it is seen in today’s context (2017) one will realize its timeless
importance.
Useful booklets for Art students : 22/11/1964 : This small news type text informs about a booklet
by artist Madhav Satawlekar on the nuances of oil painting and do and don'ts about it so the
students can learn at the beginning of the art education. The second is on colour theory and
practice by artist R.P.Joshi. This small but most useful booklet gives insights about the subject
colour and how it works in actual practice. The federation of Art Institutions took the lead to
publish such handy yet important publication.
Prof. V. N. Adarkar is the first appointed as the Director of Art by Government of Maharashtra
State (24/4/1965-Loksatta). Maharashtra government is the first state in India to form the
Directorate of Art which will govern art examinations, Sir J.J.School of Art, Sir J.J.Institute of
Applied Art and Inspectorate of Arts and crafts. It will also undertake project of copying Ajanta
Fresco as documentation. It will govern all over state affairs concerning visual art. Prof. V. N.
Adarkar will carry his duties as the Dean of Sir J.J.Institute of Applied Art till new Dean is appointed
in his place. He is known for setting up of the famous Sir J.J.Institute of Applied Art and pioneered
commercial art (Applied Art) education in India. His two books namely ‘Education’ and ‘Industrial
Design’ are considered valuable work. Directorate of Art will organized every year state art
exhibitions.
At the bottom there are two small clippings which talks about sp.lecture on colour with reference
to small booklets on oil painting by Madhav Satwalekar and colour-theory & practice by R.P.Joshi
(1965). The other one is about Cloth manufacturing and color applications. This was held at V.J.T.I’s
auditorium in presence of the Principal Modi (1961).

“Higher art education of Painting and Sculpture” a reply to artist Gurjar's statement about
child art. Navashakti - 4/1/1966 : This was a reply by R.P.Joshi to artist Gurjar who wanted to
discourage child art while criticizing the presence of modern art in the state art exhibition of
Maharashtra. Artist Gurjar says it is pathetic to see some art teachers presenting themselves by
showcasing their child student’s work proudly. He feels instead they should do work of their own
without wasting time on them. R.P.Joshi rejects this thought and trying to make understand
artist Gurjar about how child art is valued universally as an important factor for holistic growth.
He also explains the purposes of art exhibitions, their socio-educational needs, the various isms,
modern against realistic expressions and art verses no art, all are essential for art world. This
debate is very insightful. He mentions the word ‘psudorealism’ means imagination that reflects
inner mind.

ARTICLES IN ENGLISH :
Sir J.J.School of Art’s students annual magazine ‘RUPABHED’ published by KALADEEP
cultural platform : This is interesting textual document that recalls literary environment
inculcated during famous artist P. A. Dhond’s deanship. He appreciates cover design,
articles and overall look of the issue. This is worth as collector's item because it carries
good discussions on art education. He suggests had questioner been printed only once
then the flow of answers would have been better to communicate the discussions. He
expresses displeasure over Prof. Sholapurkar’s rough editing about answers is like
examination paper assessment, kind of disposal. The summery of this effort shows that art
education is taken in a very narrow perspective. It has been proven that art education
begins at vey infant stage that lasts till old age. It is a continuous process. Similarly the
opinion express regarding university affiliation of art is very confusing. Nobody talks about
how to elevate the standards of art education. With all this the effort is laudable. Prof.
Shirgonkar’s pencil drawings and its technique is good article, Prof. Sadwelkar writing
about entity and (scientist) Dr. Bhabha’s multi-faceted personality is worth reading. Prof.
Sambaji Kadam’s article on cubism is insightful. Prof. Arawde talking about ‘MANGAL’ style
is informative. Artist P. A. Dhond’s congratulations for publishing such beautiful
publication.
‘Shilpanjali’ (1960s) an annual students magazine of Sir J.J.Institute of Applied Art is
emphasizing the importance of utility art in our daily life is good insight. R.P.J. appreciates
the concept of applied art and industrial design in today's science age expressed in this
‘Shilpanjali’ publication. It presents the art of advertising to promote manufactured
consumer products. The effective applications of illustrations/visuals and abstract signs
are nicely presented in this issue. Manu Desai’s article on ‘BASIC DESIGN’ and innovative
educational exercises is the eye opener for all of us. This issue demonstrates the paradigm
shift of new approach towards understand theory and practice ratio. Y.T.Chaudhary's cover
design is the classic example of expressing three dimensionality through punch cut
technique of print media.

the same. It is about neglectfulness about the art and its place in general education.
63000 students then appearing for art grade examination all over India are taught what it
was in British rule. It has been accepted world wide the inclusion of visual art right from
kindergarten to higher education is completely ignored by the state government. The
formation of first Directorate of Art by Maharashtra government in India is not given any
power to work out concrete policy to implement this subject in school level.
The first conference of art teachers in the Maharashtra state at Pune-1963 : This was the
first attempt by the federation of art institutions brought 400 art teachers together to
interact amongst themselves about various issues concerning art education. Art teacher
and art educationist Artist Bhyashaeb Onkar from Pune took the lead in organizing this
gathering. N.B.Parulekar founder and editor of ‘Sakal publication’ provided the venue for
art exhibition and seminar. Stalwarts like Artist Gondhalekar the then Art Director Times of
India, Art Director of film industry and Artist M. R. Achrekar, Artist Madhav Satawlekar,
Artist P. A. Dhond, Artist and art educationist Prof. R.P.Joshi, Drawing Inspector and Artist
V.K.Patil, Artist M.N.Kelkar, Prof. D,.K.Bedekar and innovative art teacher A.J.Ghare from
Ahmadnagar helped this conference with new insights to redefine age old ideas of art
teaching. Artist and art educationist Prof. R.P.Joshi presented slideshow on colour
describing the importance of light theory in colour perception. Innovative art teacher A. J.
Ghare from Ahmadnagar conducted a workshop project on basic visual thinking and visual
interpretations. This was perhaps the first and last such intellectual art education
gathering ever held in Maharashtra. It was a great introspective attempt to evaluate the
defects of British policy imposed on Indian art education.
