This document outlines Olivia Waller's pre-production plans for developing a Christmas-themed game. It includes details on the style sheet with chosen colors and fonts to represent Christmas. Mockups and layouts are provided to show how the game will look and feel. Potential issues like computer crashes are addressed, along with health and safety considerations. An 8-day schedule is outlined to research Christmas games, design characters, create animations and backgrounds in Photoshop, add sound effects in Premiere Pro, and bring all elements together.
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Style sheet
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas
The colours I have chosen are all very
Christmassy as there is a very dark colours
that symbolise Christmas with reds and
greens and there is also bright colours which
also shows Christmas as it represents
colourful lights and presents.
The fonts used are showing Christmas as
they are cute. The fonts are swirly which
suggest festive and Christmassy, it helps
people to see straight away that the game is
Christmas themed.
The image is similar to what I want my game
to look like as it has the same layout as I
want my game to be and it has the same
theme as I would like my game to be. It has
the same angle I want for my game and uses
the same characters and similar background
as I am planning for my game.
3. Layout 1
This is my app logo design, it is simple but it
shows straight away what the game is going
to be about. It uses my colour scheme as red
is one of the colours used on my style sheet.
No font is used on the app design as it
doesn’t need any as you can see what theme
the game is going to be about.
On my style sheet the existing photo is a
Christmas game that is similar to mine, so
from the theme of the game, the logo is
linked with it as it is Christmassy themed.
4. Layout 2
This is a design of how I want my game to
look.
It uses many colours from my style sheet.
You can see straight away from the
background, characters and features used in
my mock up that the game is a Christmas
theme.
I have not fonts used in my layout as I will
not use any fonts throughout the game.
The existing photo I have on my style sheet
is similar to how my game is going to look
and has helped with giving ideas and
features to include on my game.

Potential Issue Solution
Computer Crashing Make sure to save regularly and in more than
one place e.g. Memory stick.
Software Crashing Make sure to save, and save in more than one
place.
Power Cut Make sure to save regularly and to save in
more than one place.
Running low/out of time If you are running out of time in lesson, use
time at home to catch up and get work in on
time.
7. Health and Safety
Potential Issue How will the issue be
avoided?
Backaches Take regular breaks to stand up and walk
around so that you are not sat in the same
place for too long.
Headaches Using a computer uses concentration and has
bright lights so sitting and looking at one for too
long can hurt your head, make sure to take
regular breaks to stop this.
Eye strain Looking on a computer for too long in a long
period of time can cause your eyes to hurt,
wear glasses if needed or take breaks so you
have time away for the light.
