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.

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.

5. Vehicle Scrapping Policy: Check List of
incentives & disincentives
The Union Transport Ministry on October 5, 2021 issued a list of
incentives and disincentives of the Vehicle Scrapping Policy.
The list has been issued to encourage the vehicle owners to
discard their old polluting vehicles that are high maintenance
and have a higher fuel consumption cost.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had first announced
the Vehicle Scrapping Policy during her budget speech in
February 2021.
The policy was introduced to bring transformational changes in
the automobile sector by phasing out old, unfit and polluting
vehicles.
Under the vehicle scrapping policy, all personal vehicles will have
to undergo fitness tests in automated centres after 20 years and
commercial vehicles will undergo the test after 15 years.

6. Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 jointly awarded to
Benjamin List and David W.C. Macmillan
The 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been jointly awarded to Benjamin List
and David W.C. MacMillan. Benjamin List from Germany and Scottish-born
David MacMillan have been honoured for developing new tools for building
molecules that have helped in making new drugs and are more

List and MacMillan share the 10-million Swedish crown ($1.14 million) prize for
their separate work on asymmetric organocatalysis.
According to the award-giving body, it was a new and indigenous tool for
molecule building.
Benjamin List, of the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kohlenforschung, and David
MacMillan, of Princeton University, United States, will share the prize in equal
parts for the breakthroughs that were achieved independently of one another.

8. NAV-eCash card: SBI, Indian Navy launch new card to remove
cash dependency when ship is at high seas
NAV-eCash card: The Indian Navy and State Bank of India (SBI) together
on October 4, 2021 launched SBI's NAV-eCash card aboard country's
largest naval aircraft carrier-INS Vikramaditya.
The NAV-eCash card, which has a dual-chip technology, will enable
online as well as offline transactions. This would remove all difficulties
faced by personnel onboard in handling physical cash during deployment
of the ship at high seas.
The same concept will then be replicated at other naval ships and various
defence establishments as well to create a secured, convenient and
sustainable payment ecosystem.
The current infrastructure at naval ships inhibits traditional payment
solutions, especially when the ship is at high seas as there is no
connectivity at that time.

9. Government proposes amendments to
Forest Conservation Act
The Ministry of Environment has proposed to amend the Forest
Conservation Act in order to do away with the requirement of prior
government approval for the development of border infrastructure
on forest land.

of critical projects.
The Environment Ministry has also invited suggestions from States
and UTs and all the people concerned on the proposed
amendments to the Forest Conservation Act, within the next 15 days.
The ministry, in addition, has proposed to allow the states to permit
non-forest use of forest land for the implementation of strategic and
security projects that are required to be completed in a given time
frame.
It has also proposed removing safaris, zoos, forest training
infrastructure from the definition of non-forestry activities.
