The document describes the process the student took to create a poster for a class project on Star Wars. They began by finding an image of Han Solo and sizing it to be the centerpiece. They then cut out Solo's body and adjusted the opacity and added a glow to make him fit on the background better. Following the same process, the student added images of Lando and Chewbacca. Next, they included the Millennium Falcon and added laser beams extending from it. Finally, the student added the title and Star Wars logo to complete the poster.
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.
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.

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.

Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
Macroeconomics- Movie Location
This will be used as part of your Personal Professional Portfolio once graded.
Objective:
Prepare a presentation or a paper using research, basic comparative analysis, data organization and application of economic information. You will make an informed assessment of an economic climate outside of the United States to accomplish an entertainment industry objective.
2. Process
• To start this poster I found a
png of the classic Han Solo
in which he was looking into
the camera. I then sized the
image up so the head would
sit in the top centre of the
canvas to be the centre
piece of my product. The
background I used is a space
scene from star wars as this
is similar to the
backgrounds of other star
wars posters.
3. Process
• I cut the body out of Han
Solo and then tweaked the
position of the image which
would allow me to fit
everything onto the poster. I
simply used the eraser tool
to cut out the body as it
gives me control to get a
smooth cut under the neck.
4. Process
• The head of Han Solo has
been edited to make it fit
into the poster more. I
lowered the opacity to 70%
as well as giving the image a
white outer glow. This
follows a very similar style
to other star wars posters
where the characters and
lightsabres have a glow
making them fit onto the
background more.
5. Process
• Here I have added 2 cut out
images of Lando and
Chewbacca. I again used the
eraser tool to get a detailed
cut around each character. I
sized them to have the most
relevant characters the
biggest. I put them on a
slanted angle as I want to
include either gun shots or
laser beams that cut the
poster diagonally.
6. Process
• In the same way I edited the
head of Han Solo I reduced
the opacity of Chewbacca’s
and Lando’s heads both to
70%. I also gave them an
outer glow which again
blends them into the
background very well.
7. Process
• Here I added a png of the
Millennium Falcon in which I
again followed the same
format as the characters. I
lowered the opacity
however this time only to
80% and added an outer
glow.
8. Process
• Here I used the paint brush
tool and chose a dark-ish
green and made a small
blob in the centre. I then
added a smaller blob in a
lighter green to the centre
of the first blob. This will
become a laser beam from
the Millennium Falcon.
9. Process
• I stretched the blobs out
using the transform tool and
holding ctrl to stretch the
image out and make it more
narrow. After getting the
laser beam long enough I
copied it and added both of
them to the Millennium
Falcon and had them cut
under all the characters.
10. Process
• Here I added a title to the
poster. I created it myself
using a font found on
Dafont which is very similar
to the font used in the star
wars titles. I made it the
yellow colour because that
is the colour used in other
star wars titles. I also
lowered the opacity and
added a stroke to make it
pop from the poster a bit
more.
11. Process
• The final thing I added to
the poster was the star wars
logo which I found on
google images. I didn’t
change anything about this
image and kept it full
opacity so it can be seen
very easily as it is the most
important part of the
poster.
12. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product?
In my final product I will most likely be using the laser beam technique I used in
this poster by creating coloured brush circles and stretching them out to give a
laser beam effect. For my poster I will use these in more neutral colour such as
white to give the effect of gun shots or bullets.
Another element I may use is the lowering of the opacity on images to make
them fit into the background more. As well as adding an outer glow to the images
that also blend them into the background as well.
13. Process
Here I made a couple of logo designs that would be similar to the
logo I am looking to make in my final product. I took the name burst
as my example company name and wanted to create a very simple
black and white logo that I could expand on by adding more colour
options and changing orientation of either the headset or the
controller. The font I used on the text is ‘good times’ which I found on
Dafont.
14. Process
Here I expanded on the logo design I
liked the most. I tried the logo with
different colour schemes, adding
colours to the controller to make it
pop more, changed the colour of the
text to see if that will change how it
looks and if it looks better or not. I put
it into the format of a style sheet so I
could give it to my class to review and
see which ones they liked the most.
The reason I chose to create a style
sheet was so people could see all my
ideas in one place and easily compare
the designs. By having them all in the
same place it means it easier to
compare and therefor I get better
results.
15. Reflection
• This is the best 3 that my class and I decided on. The highest voted logo was the
left screenshot with the red text. The second highest voted logo was the middle
screenshot with the controller coloured in and the third highest voted was the
screenshot on the right. This has the text of the logo inverted with the text itself
being white with the stroke being white.
• What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product?
The elements I will include in my final product will follow what is seen on the
most voted logo idea. This is because it follows the colour scheme I already had in
mind for my magazine and logo. Due to the logo I want to create in my final
product following the same design as these, I will most likely incorporate the 2nd
most voted logo design by having the main image coloured and not a silhouette.
16. Process
Here I took a picture of
one of my classmates
with the intention of
using the airbrush tool
to remove any spots or
blemishes on his face
and neck. I used the spot
healing tool at default
size and began removing larger freckles as well as some noticeable
spots such as the one under his lips and on his neck. The spot healing
tool has the J key as a shortcut which makes it easier to switch quickly
between any tool. The spot healing tool is very useful when editing
images because it makes everything look cleaner and smoother
without making it look unrealistic.
17. Process
Here I took the airbrushed picture and began changing colour settings.
I didn’t really have a goal for how I wanted the pictures to look I just
experimented with the hue, saturation, vibrancy and lighting to get a
picture that pops more.
18. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product?
In my final product I will be taking photos for my magazine, website and maybe
my poster. I will take all my photos in the studio and then I will use the airbrush,
spot healing tool and change the colours and lighting all in post production.
Although I haven’t followed any specific settings in order to change how the
image looks I will still be able to create a similar effect just by experimenting with
the sliders and settings. This will be useful in my FMP because it creates a cleaner
and more professional looking image with still keeping facial features and
noticeable details such as freckles. If I was to remove the freckles it would be
seen as very fake picture.
