Pre-Modern European Migrations the Celts Part 1 - By Dr. Lizabeth JohnsonUNM Continuing Education
Much of the history of pre-modern European society was shaped by the migration of various groups of peoples into and across the European landscape. The Celts moved from their homeland in Central Europe and settled throughout much of Western Europe, bringing their language and culture with them. The Romans were yet another migrant group, and undoubtedly one of the most culturally impactful groups because they enforced their political, legal, and religious customs in the territories they settled. Similarly, the German-speaking tribes who moved into Roman territory as the Roman Empire fell; the Vikings, who emerged from Scandinavia in the late 8th century CE and settled throughout much of Western Europe; and Muslim peoples, who emerged from the Arabian Peninsula in the mid-7th century CE and settled in Spain and Sicily, had a significant influence on the formation of early European culture. We'll examine all of these groups and their impact on the history and culture of Western Europe in the pre-modern period.

After attending this module, the user would be able to understand the history behind oceanographic explorations, the stages of development of oceanic navigations, and the scholars who have contributed at various stages. It will also be possible to comprehend the current trends in the science of oceanography in terms of on-going expeditions, technological improvements and the involvement made by various countries.
Varna Culture is thought to be one of the most advanced civilizations of ancient Europe. Older than the empires of Mesopotamia and Egypt, Varna has the largest prehistoric necropolis in South-eastern Europe and, as far as we know, was the first to craft golden artifacts. April Holloway introduces us to its cultural practices, complex funerary rites, belief systems, and more. Boyan Slat was only 17 when he solved a problem that most said was insoluble, and had thus never been attempted: cleaning the floating plastic from the oceans. He then launched The Ocean Cleanup Project and has so far raised $2 million to make his idea reality. Jacquelyn Keun has interviewed this teenager who is amazing the world and leading a unique environmental initiative. Rob Hutchinson returns in this issue with surprising psychological phenomena. Have you ever wondered why you believe in determined things? Let’s change the question to explain the trick: why do we believe what we want to believe?
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.

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.
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

1. 150 Years of Archaeology in SA Hilary John Deacon [email_address] Discovering the past A lecture to the Western Cape Branch of the South African Archaeological Society in 2009
2. A Lady’s Tale She says – d riving Land Rovers, smoking cigars and making discoveries is what attracted her to archaeology. It is her efforts and the efforts of many others that contribute to 150 years of progress in South African archaeology. These slides are some benchmarks of that progress. Now an eminent historical archaeologist, Janette Deacon rarely gets a lift in a Land Rover and does not smoke – but she does make discoveries. Her discoveries are “small things forgotten”, like porcelain fragments and clay pipe stems, but they tell an intriguing story of colonial times. That is what archaeology is about.
3. Benchmark 1: Recognition of A ncient A rtefacts 1858 – TH Bowker collects stone artefacts from the Fish River area in the Eastern Cape. They are deeply buried and therefore very old. Victorian collectors find stone artefacts in abundance. Curiosity about stone artefacts drives the development of archaeology.
4. Benchmark 2: Bushman Implements, 1858-1900 All finds are attributed to the Bushmen/San, who are recognised as the ancient inhabitants of the area. Beginnings of interest in San ethnography and linguistics. 1870 – Archaeology is recognised as a field of study by Langham Dale. First prehistories are written – search for explanations.
5. Benchmark 3: Antiquity of Man, c.1905 Louis Peringuey recognises Acheulian artefacts in the vineyards around Stellenbosch as being like those in France that were considered most ancient. Acheulian artefacts
6. Benchmark 4: Early Researchers, c.1900-1923 Many of the early researchers in South Africa were museum-based scientists who undertook excavations, built up collections and published their findings. Some were motivated by the search for fossil human ancestors, like the Neanderthals of Europe. John Hewitt, the Director of Grahamstown’s Albany Museum from 1910-1958, was a zoologist and authority on reptiles and amphibians who did archaeological fieldwork in his vacations. He excavated the type sites of Wilton and Howiesons Poort and other sites near Grahamstown.
7. Benchmark 5: First Professional Archaeologist 1923 – Astley John Hilary Goodwin is appointed to sort out the museum collections. 1929 – Publishes The Stone Age Cultures of SA with Clarence van Riet Lowe. Clarence van Riet Lowe Astley John Hilary Goodwin, 1900-1959
8. Goodwin’s Three Age Scheme With additions and dates Framework for South African archaeology developed by Goodwin and Van Riet Lowe
9. Benchmark 6: Another Major Contribution by Goodwin 1945 – Goodwin founds the South African Archaeological Society; he starts and becomes editor of the South African Archaeological Bulletin . Goodwin was a journalist at heart – his publications helped the growth of archaeology in South Africa.
10. Benchmark 7: Discovery of Australopithecus 1925 – Raymond Dart describes the first fossil australopithecine pre-human ancestor, the skull of a child from Taung, in the Northern Cape. 1936 – Robert Broom finds more australopithecines at Sterkfontein and Swartkrans, near Johannesburg. These fossils showed that pre-human ancestors evolved in Africa, not in Europe. Raymond Dart, Robert Broom, Abbe Henri Breuil, Clarence van Riet Lowe
11. “ Cradle of Humankind” Ron Clark at Sterkfontein CK “Bob” Brain at Swartkrans Predation hypothesis
12. Benchmark 8: True Humans – Modern Ancestors “… not only were people … some 100 000 years ago anatomically modern but they were also behaviorally modern.” – HJ Deacon, 1989 In the 1980s, the “out-of-Africa” hypothesis and the study of the emergence of modern humans created new interest in Stone Age archaeology and, in particular, Goodwin’s Middle Stone Age (MSA). Klasies River Sibudu Blombos MSA people were modern and cannibals Sibudu stone artefact with ochre stain from hafting
13. Relative dating means a is older than b . 1950s – Radiocarbon chronometric dating revolutionised the understanding of the past 40 000 years. The first radiocarbon-dated site in SA was Matjes River, near Plettenberg Bay. The 11 000-year-old shell midden was much older than expected . CSIR Laboratory, Pretoria Benchmark 9: Dating: Science in Archaeology Radiocarbon is now routinely used along with other methods, such as Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating, which can be used for samples older than 40 000 years. Chronometric dating gives the age in years before the present (BP).
14. John Vogel Dating and S table I sotopes Cango Caves stalagmite analysed by John Vogel carries a record of temperature changes in the caves over the past 30 000 years. Inside Cango
15. 1700s and 1800s – Early travel l ers find and copy rock paintings. More than 15 000 rock art sites are now on record. Rock art is to archaeology as birding is to zoology: it popularises and informs on the subject. Rock paintings from the Cederberg Benchmark 10: Rock Art
16. Interpreting Rock Art People of the Eland, 1976, Patricia Vinnicombe Believing and Seeing, 1981, David Lewis-Williams Beyond the narrative explanations Rock art is religious and shamanistic. Oldest dated rock painting in southern Africa – 27 500 years old Most famous Seminal publications: Pat Vinnicombe David Lewis-Williams
17. Rock art interpretations have drawn on San ethnography. 1870s – Records from these /Xam San prisoners at the Breakwater in Cape Town were compiled by Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd. 1950s-1990s – Information from contemporary San was compiled by anthropologists. These records also contribute to Later Stone Age studies.
18. Benchmark 11: Who were the Khoekhoen? 1970 – Frank Schweitzer recovers sheep bones and pottery from Die Kelders, showing that Khoekhoe herders lived there 2 000 years ago. 1488-1650s – Historical records by European sailors to the Cape illustrate Khoekhoe people herding sheep and cattle and living in matjes huts. People in Namaqualand still live in matjes huts, farm small stock and speak Nama, a Khoekhoe click language.
21. The main access to Mapungubwe Hill was via this narrow cleft Mapungubwe period stone walling on the Southern Terrace
22. Glass beads brought to Mapungubwe from India through trade on the eastern coast of Africa were melted down and made into larger beads using baked clay moulds. Fragments of Chinese celadon from the Sung Dynasty (960-1279 AD) were found at Mapungubwe. They are placed here next to a whole celadon wine kettle from a museum.
