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 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
2. THE CHARACTERS
3 male pigeons – Bert, Ralph and Spencer
6 clouds – Sarah, Lia, Rebecca, Ryan, Ben, George
Aeroplane - Ariana
Sun and Moon – Yellow and Blue
6. BERT
Bert is intellectually
challenged so needs help
from Ralph and Spencer to
get through everyday life.
During the film he gets
separated from the trio and
learns how to cope on his
own. He has many comical
moments throughout in
contrast to some more
serious scenes. David
Walliams is the voice of
Bert as his voice is of a
simple nature.
7. RALPH
Ralph is the child of the
trio. He is very immature
and needs a lot of looking
after as he can get
confused easily. He likes to
cause trouble and often is
told off by Ariana the
aeroplane. Throughout the
film he faces a lot of
problems however with the
help of his friends he
overcomes them. Alan Carr
is the voice of Ralph as he
has a cheeky, high-pitched
and comical voice that suits
8. SPENCER
Spencer is different from the
other pigeons. He is much more
mature and acts as the adult of
the group, although he does love
to have fun with the others.
Spencer comes from Chelsea so
he gets taunted by the others for
being ‘posh’. He was separated
from his flock when he was
younger and when he found Bert
and Ralph he knew he had found
his new brothers. Spencer is
played by Colin Firth as his voice
suits the style of Spencer.
Spencer should be serious and
sometimes moody however he
knows how to have fun.
9. TARGET AUDIENCE AND GENRE
The genre of the film is a comedy animation and the target audience
is under 5’s. The film we are creating will be suitable as it is an
animation with the theme of nature and the sky. It has many
characters with different personalities which show younger children
that all people are different. The film has an underlying moral which
will be told by Ariana the Aeroplane. This will appeal to the parents of
the children as they will want there to be a moral basis in the film so
that it is educational yet fun. There will be a comedy aspect shown
throughout the film through individual characters which will further
attract younger children. The film also encourages a wider
imagination as there are many characters in the film that talk but in
real life do not.
This will attract customers as it will show the film to be funny,
educational and imaginative. Our primary customer base are the
10. MOOD BOARD
We are basing our film off of other animated films. We have taken
inspiration from films such as:
Finding Nemo
Despicable Me
Inside Out
Spongebob Squarepants
Monster’s Inc
We have taken inspiration from these films realising that they all carry
a theme throughout so we decided to include a theme in our film.
11. FILM
SYNOPSIS
After a torrential storm hits, the
trio of pigeons are left in turmoil
as one of the three is separated
from the group. Will he cope on
his own? Will he return? The
remaining two venture across the
vast sky in order to rescue their
stranded friend.
Individuality
The film we have created is different from other animated films as it includes major
Hollywood stars which will allow people to feel instantly familiar with their voices and
therefore the film will immediately be well received. Additionally the animation takes
place mostly in the sky so there isn’t an aspect of human influence at all throughout
the film. These traits lead to the image of individuality in the film as they are rarely
done.
12. OPENING SCENE
Three pigeons flap about in the midst of the blue sky surrounded by their
friends….the clouds. They're cracking jokes, Ralph is being silly and
Spencer is in one of his moods. Quickly the peace is destroyed when a row
breaks out, a common occurrence, and Ariana the aeroplane shares her
many words of wisdom. In the meantime, Bert is oblivious to what is going
on and continues to be off in his own world. Whilst this is happening news
that a brewing storm is heading south towards the hometown of the trio is
heard.
13. MUSIC: SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN
From the opening lyrics of the song we can see the relevance in the song in contrast
to our film, with the characters being referred to in the song. Singin’ in the rain also
has a happy feel and as our target audience is Under 5’s it needs to be suitable for
the upbeat and cheerful production. Therefore the choice of this song fits the
conventions of our film and is the reason why it is our opening song.
I'm singin' in the
rain
Just singin' in the
rain
What a glorious
feelin'
I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at
clouds.
So dark up above
14. MUSIC: THE SUN WILL COME
OUT TOMORROW
The sun will come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun
Just thinkin' about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'til there's none
When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and
lonely
I just stick up my chin and grin and say, oh
The sun will come out tomorrow
So you gotta hang on
'til tomorrow, come what may!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away!
When I'm stuck with a day that's grey and
lonely
I just stick up my chin and grin and say oh
The sun will come out tomorrow
So you got to hang on 'til tomorrow, come
what may!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow
You're only a day away
The Sun will come out tomorrow is a suitable
choice of music because the audience will gain
hope that stranded bird will break through the
clouds and the Equilibrium will be restored. Also
it gives meaning in the literal sense of the storm
ending and the sun coming out again.
The vocals are from a young girl which also
allows the children viewing the film to feel
comfortable as the tone of voice is one they can
relate to.
15. MARKETING
To market the film we shall create a film poster with the background
a pale blue representing the colour of the sky but also peace and
being free which interlinks with the birds’ lives. The three main
characters will be further forward than the others and centred to
show their status in the film and they will also be reflecting their
individual personalities. Spencer’s body language will be turned
slightly away from the others in order to show his tendency to
disagree with them. Ralph will be pushing Bert jokingly to reflect his
playful nature. Bert will look confused yet happy therefore showing
his naïve side. The clouds will be in the background looking relatively
normal and not significant however they will have a small smile to
show they are involved however keeping it as a surprise for the
audience. There will be a lighting bolt coming from a grey toned
cloud reflecting their impending doom.
The film poster will hint towards the film synopsis however still
shadowing the disruption of equilibrium that will come. This will
