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.
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.
2. Defining Quality
Excellence in operations
Compliance with purpose
Conformance to design
Customer satisfaction
Stakeholder satisfaction
Achievement of learning outcomes and long-term impact
3. Comparing and Contrasting QA and LoA
Quality Assurance
Broader framework to manage
quality
It is based on input, throughput and
output management
Everyone is involved
It contains AoL
Assurance of Learning
A specific tool to validate
achievement of learning outcomes
it is outcome based
Mostly faculty are involved
It is a subset of QA
4. Quality Assurance
Development of quality policy
Management of drivers of quality in a consistent way
Design of various processes and systems to assure quality at different levels
Focus on process management
Audit of different processes
Benchmarking of processes
Improvement in processes
It involves management of admission, teaching-learning process, assessment,
co-curriculuar, extension, infrastructure and maintenance, research and
governance processes
5. Assurance of Learning (AoL)
As part of quality assurance, it aims at improving the learning experience
of students
It intends to validate the achievement of learning with a view to be
accountable to the different stakeholders
Thus, AoL has both formative and summative purposes
It can be done at course, programme and institute levels
It has two approaches: Direct and indirect.
The direct approach is essential, while the indirect approach is desirable
6. Assumptions about AoL
Abstract concept of learning has to be defined both conceptually and
operationally
Learning is conceptualised in terms of learning outcomes
Learning outcomes are specifications of the learning experience
After operational definition, it has to be quantified for measurement
Measurement can lead to monitoring of learning
Monitoring of learning can lead to better management of the learning
process
Effective management of learning leads to long-term impact
7. Specifications of Learning
Programme educational objectives
Programme educational outcomes
Graduate attributes
Course learning outcomes
Student experience features
Employability and placement goals
8. Translation of Learning Specifications
Design and development of curriculum
Creation of various learning experiences through curricular, co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities
Linking of assessment with learning specifications
Alignment of learning specifications with curriculum, course, session,
assessment, extension and development activities
Translation of learning specifications into rubrics and development of levels of
academic achievement
Descriptor for a rubric and explanation of different levels of academic
achievement
Mapping of experiences of students and other stakeholders
9. Direct Measurement for AoL
Use of standardised tests to measure learning
Pre-programme and post-programme measurement of learning
Measurement of course learning using rubrics by concerned faculty
Measurement of course learning using rubrics by outside experts
Analysis of student portfolios to measure learning
10. Indirect Measurement for AoL
Measuring perceptions of students about learning and development
through survey, focus group interview,
Measuring views of alumni and recruiters about the learning of students
Focus group surveys
