Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides flexible learning opportunities and removes barriers to instruction for all students. UDL was designed to anticipate diverse student needs and accommodate them from the outset through flexible goals, methods, materials and assessments. Implementing UDL requires the use of multiple teaching strategies targeted to the recognition, strategic and affective networks of the brain. Technology plays a key role in individualizing instruction to meet varied student needs through assistive and supportive tools.
A review of the literature identified articles on the importance of critical thinking in marketing classes (Celuch & Slama, 2000), but there was no literature of the online marketing classes.
If critical thinking is the ultimate goal of adult education, as the literature suggests, how can educators teach the skill in an online marketing class in order to raise student comprehension?

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.
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.

3. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) ―is a set
of principles for curriculum development
that give all individuals equal opportunities
to learn‖ (Rose & Meyer, 2002).
―UDL provides a blueprint for creating
instructional goals, methods, materials, and
assessments that work for everyone—not a
single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather
flexible approaches that can be
customized and adjusted for individual
needs (Rose & Meyer, 2002).
4. UDL was designed to
―anticipate the needs of
individuals with disabilities
and accommodate these
needs from the onset‖
(Hall, Strangman, &
Meyer, 2003).
Example: A curb, with a
ramp, serve for those in
wheelchairs, however they
also benefit those with
strollers, young
children, bicyclists, runners,
and even a walker. ―And
so, the process of designing
for individuals with
disabilities has led to
improved usability for

11. Technology plays an important role when
developing and executing UDL.
Technology individualizes teaching
methods and allows teachers to
accommodate diverse learners. The
technology can be separated into two
categories, assistive/ adaptive
technology and supportive technology
(Bray, Brown, & Green, 2004).

15. By implementing UDL within our own walls, we are able
to adapt lessons, instruction, and assessments to
meet the needs of all learners. Although special
education students and English Language Learners
would greatly benefit from UDL, as would our
accelerated students and average students.
Students would have more choice and interactions
within their own learning. ―Each learning experience
would directly effect the three learning
networks, increasing understanding of how students
learn, and how they prefer to learn, the use of
multiple strategies to solve problems, demonstrate
knowledge, or accomplish goals, as well as
motivation in the classroom as a result of choices in
student learning‖ (Universal-Design-4-Learning, 2012).
16. Within the large network of the brain are many smaller networks.
Three primary networks are recognition, strategic, and affective
networks.
Recognition Network: ―are specialized to sense and assign
meaning to pattern we see; they enable us to identify and
understand information, ideas, and concepts‖ (Rose &
Meyer, 2002).
Strategic Network: ―are specialized to generate and oversee
mental and motor patters. They enable us to plan, execute and
monitor actions and skills‖ (Rose & Meyer, 2002).
Affective Network: ―are specialized to evaluate patterns and assign
them emotional significance they enable us to engage with
tasks and learning and with the world around us‖ (Rose &
Meyer, 2002).
17. An example CAST uses is an activity
many of us have participated in
multiple times, signing a birthday card.
The recognition network allows us to
identify a birthday card, pen, our
hands to write and our signature. The
strategic network sets the goal of
signing the birthday card, forms a plan
of picking up the pen and moving it to
create a signature, and make
corrections, such as making letters
smaller to fit the words in a certain
space. Finally, affective networks
connect our feelings to our
friend, motivates us to sign and stay on
task. (Rose & Meyer, 2002).

19. Image Collector: ―This Image Finder and
Image Describer tutorials teach you how to
find images and create educationally
meaningful text descriptions to make
images accessible and useful to all of your
students. The Image Collector tool helps
you find, describe and save images to use
in your classroom‖ (Rose & Meyer, 2002).
› This can be extremely helpful within my own
classroom due to the diverse needs. Many of
my students are special education students and
English as a second language students.
Therefore, by incorporating images and pictures
to lessons, the students are able to make further
connections and understandings.
20. TES Journal: ―…Online journal to record your
ideas, insights, reflections and thoughts‖ (Rose and
Meyer, 2002).
› It is important for every educator to reflect on how the
lesson went. It is important to acknowledge what went
well and what adjustments need to be made.
Reflection allows us to be better educators. When we
reflect, we make adjustments to ensure all students are
able to be successful. By using this journal, we are able
to reflect, and review our reflections because they are
kept online. Also, we are able to record any ideas or
insights we may have. Often times we think of
something and do not record the thought, then
forgetting our ideas. By using this journal, we are able to
record our thoughts and have them in one area. We
are then able to implement these newly thought ideas
within our lessons and ultimately reflect on how the
21. UDL Goal Setter: ―The UDL Goal Setter helps
you define clear goals for your class that
represent the core instructional purpose of
the learning activity and support multiple
pathways for achieving the goal‖ (Rose &
Meyer, 2002).
› Goals are very important to set as an educator.
Not only is it important for you to know your
goals, but also the students. Everyone within the
lesson should know the desired outcome of the
lesson. Also, as you set the goals, it is important
to refer back to the goals throughout the lesson.
As everyone is made aware of the overall
goal, a self-check can be done to monitor
progress.
