This document provides an overview of operating systems. It defines an operating system as a program that acts as an intermediary between the user and computer hardware. The key goals of an operating system are to execute user programs, make the computer convenient to use, and efficiently use hardware resources. An operating system controls application programs and coordinates the use of hardware among programs and users. It discusses the main components and functions of an operating system, including process management, memory management, file management, I/O management, and secondary storage management.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

2. WHAT IS AN OPERATING SYSTEM?
A program that acts as an intermediary between a
user of a computer and the computer hardware.
An operating System is a collection of system
programs that together control the operations of a
computer system.
Some examples of operating systems are UNIX,
Mach, MS-DOS, MS-Windows, Windows/NT,
Chicago, OS/2, MacOS, VMS, MVS, and VM.
3. OPERATING SYSTEM GOALS
Execute user programs and make solving user
problems easier.
Make the computer system convenient to use.
Use the computer hardware in an efficient manner.
4. COMPUTER SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Hardware – provides basic computing resources
(CPU, memory, I/O devices).
Operating system – controls and coordinates the
use of the hardware among the various application
programs for the various users.
Applications programs – Define the ways in
which the system resources are used to solve the
computing problems of the users (compilers,
database systems, video games, business
programs).
Users (people, machines, other computers).
6. OPERATING SYSTEM DEFINITIONS
Resource allocator – manages and allocates
resources.
Control program – controls the execution of user
programs and operations of I/O devices .
Kernel – The one program running at all times (all
else being application programs).
7. COMPONENTS OF OS
OS has two parts. (1)Kernel.(2)Shell.
Kernel is an active part of an OS i.e., it is the part of OS
running at all times. It is a programs which can interact
with the hardware. Ex: Device driver, dll files, system
files etc.
Shell is called as the command interpreter. It is a set of
programs used to interact with the application programs.
It is responsible for execution of instructions given to OS
(called commands).
8. OPERATING SYSTEMS CAN BE EXPLORED
FROM TWO VIEWPOINTS
User View: From the user’s point view, the OS is
designed for one user to monopolize its resources, to
maximize the work that the user is performing and for
ease of use.
System View: From the computer's point of view, an
operating system is a control program that manages the
execution of user programs to prevent errors and improper
use of the computer. It is concerned with the operation and
control of I/O devices.
9. FUNCTIONS OF OPERATING SYSTEM:
Process Management
Main-Memory Management
File Management
I/O System Management
Secondary-Storage Management
10. PROCESS MANAGEMENT
A process is a program in execution. A process
needs certain resources, including CPU time,
memory, files, and I/O devices, to accomplish its
task.
The operating system is responsible for the
following activities in connection with process
management.
✦ Process creation and deletion.
✦ process suspension and resumption.
✦ Provision of mechanisms for:
process synchronization
process communication
11. MAIN-MEMORY MANAGEMENT
Memory is a large array of words or bytes, each with its
own address. It is a repository of quickly accessible data
shared by the CPU and I/O devices.
Main memory is a volatile storage device. It loses its
contents in the case of system failure.
The operating system is responsible for the following
activities in connections with memory management:
Keep track of which parts of memory are currently being
used and by whom.
Decide which processes to load when memory space
becomes available.
Allocate and de-allocate memory space as needed.
12. FILE MANAGEMENT
A file is a collection of related information defined by its
creator. Commonly, files represent programs (both
source and object forms) and data.
The operating system is responsible for the following
activities in connections with file management:
✦ File creation and deletion.
✦ Directory creation and deletion.
✦ Support of primitives for manipulating files and
directories.
✦ Mapping files onto secondary storage.
✦ File backup on stable (nonvolatile) storage
media.
13. I/O SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
The I/O system consists of:
✦ A buffer-caching system
✦ A general device-driver interface
✦ Drivers for specific hardware devices
14. SECONDARY-STORAGE MANAGEMENT
Since main memory (primary storage) is volatile
and too small to accommodate all data and
programs permanently, the computer system must
provide secondary storage to back up main
memory.
15. Most modern computer systems use disks as the
principle on-line storage medium, for both programs and
data.
The operating system is responsible for the following
activities in connection with disk management:
✦ Free space management
✦ Storage allocation
✦ Disk scheduling
