Optimization of Collaborative Planing and Decision Making in the Tourism Supp...Chiang Mai University
In the tourism industry, planing and decision making are complex operations. Mutual operations and activities are required across tiers in the supply chain including suppliers, service providers, intermediaries (travel agents and tour operators) and customer (tourists). Such interdependent processes are also vary across various stages in the supply chain starting from planning, pro- curement, purchasing, productions, transports, inventory/storage, sales and proportion as well as customer services. By making decisions in these stages, the objective of all parties should be to maximize the overall profit of the supply chain as a whole, not for individual. By making a decision with collaborations across the supply chain, the collaborative firms could gain a better outcome. Such collaborations can be done in every stage especially forecasting, planning and execution. To support such collaborative decision making, a tourism supply chain optimization model was modeled. The model includes main supply chain players such as suppliers, hotels, travel agents and tourist attractions. The model was developed to maximize the profit of the whole supply chain. In comparison, the model was also compared to the scenarios where individ- ual profit is the objective. The actual data from the tourism supply chain in Thailand was used to validate the model. The optimization found that the supply chain profitability can be reached when the decision making is made under collaborations in the supply chain. The outcome can be greater when the collaborations are supported by information sharing and team work.

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.
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.

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.
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.

5. 5 | P a g e
CLASS ATTENDANCE
USAC courses rely not only on the expertise of the professor, but also on the active participation of
the students, therefore regular class attendance is mandatory.
Students are allowed one unexcused absence in USAC courses. The class participation grade will be
lowered by .5 step for each unexcused absence, i.e., from an A to an A- .
Each tardy is .5 of an absence.
Course instructors will record class attendance and notify the Resident Director when a student is not
attending regularly.
Should a student fail to fulfill his or her academic obligations (i.e. has not attended class for four
consecutive days without approval of the Resident Director, is routinely late for class, etc.) the student
may be withdrawn from the program, thereby forfeiting all privileges enjoyed by program participants
such as program housing, field trips, tours and other events/ activities. In these circumstances, no
refunds will be given.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Examinations must be taken as scheduled and students should be informed of the results of the
exams and other assignments in a timely fashion.
Students are responsible to confirm all assignments are received by their instructors. This includes
assignments submitted electronically or left the instructor’s desk or mailbox when the instructor is
not present. If you cannot reach the professor, send questions to USAC Chiang Mai office at
chaidarun@usac.unr.edu (program director’s email).
Students are responsible for monitoring their progress in courses and for maintaining contact with
professors regarding assignments and grades.
Students are responsible for the material covered in class, and are expected to arrange for the
completion of all missed class assignments and homework. Students who are arranging make-up
should do so in advance whenever possible and be prompt in the completion of missed work.
Students should recognize that requests to instructors regarding missed work should be timely and
reasonable and may or may not be granted in cases of unexcused absences. Requests for completion
of an assignment or the administration of an examination at a time that would impose an
unreasonable hardship on the instructor or the university will not be granted.
AUDITS (AD)
Students are permitted to audit a course (excluding Field Studies courses) if requested and approved
prior to the end of the add/drop/change period.
Classes may be audited only if the fulltime class requirement is met.
No credit is earned or grade received and an audited course does not contribute to fulltime status or
financial aid eligibility.
6. 6 | P a g e
Students auditing a USAC course must follow the course attendance policy and must complete all
assignments, but are exempt from the midterm and final examinations.
Students who audit a course and do not attend class or complete assignments will be withdrawn
and, at the recommendation of the instructor and the RD, will receive a grade of “W” on the USAC
grade report.
Courses for audit will appear on the USAC Student Gateway Account registration, but may or may
not appear on the official university transcript depending on the policy of the university of record or
unless otherwise requested.
DISABILITY POLICY
Every effort will be made to accommodate students with disabilities or special learning needs. If you
have a documented disability for which you have already requested accommodations through the
USAC Central office, your instructor will have been notified so that arrangements can be made early
in the term.
STATEMENT ON AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDING
Surreptitious or covert video-taping of class or unauthorized audio recording of class is prohibited by
law and by USAC policy. This class may be videotaped or audio recorded only with the written
permission of the instructor. In order to accommodate students with disabilities, some students may
have been given permission to record class lectures and discussions. Therefore, students should
understand that their comments during class may be recorded.
