This document summarizes key findings from the 2008 TeensTALK survey of 800 college-bound high school students conducted by Stamats, a higher education marketing firm. The survey examined students' perspectives on factors influencing their college selection process such as academic quality, fit, success after college, and preferred communication methods. Key findings include that students prioritize career outcomes, hands-on learning, and faculty passion when evaluating academic quality. Campus visits, meeting students, and classrooms are most important for determining fit. Graduation rates and job placement are top predictors of success after college. Email and mail are preferred forms of contact early in the process, while phone and email are preferred later on.

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.

71. Quality of “Better” Schools (Verbatim Responses) “What makes them better to me is the majors they offer and what clubs they have—basically, its just the stuff that appeals to me.” “They are hard to get into. They are established and get back to you with an answer very soon.” “The time they put into students makes them a higher quality school.”
85. Resources Needed to Help Students Succeed “A really good administration and faculty that help students succeed after graduation” “I think the college needs to back you up when you are getting a job and the degree they give you has to look good to employees” “The name of the college” “Availability of good mentors, advisors, and job opportunities for graduating students”
