It explains that an audience is a group of people who consume media and that audiences are important because media organizations produce content to attract audiences and make a profit. It also discusses how technology has fragmented audiences across multiple platforms and how media companies target specific audience demographics with advertising to continue generating revenue.

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

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

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.

Audiences
1. AUDIENCES
AIM: By the end of the presentation, you will understand
what an audience is, know the difference between mass
and niche audiences, and understand how and why
audiences are categorized.
2. What is an audience?
• An individual or collective group of people who
read or consume any media text
• Examples: Radio listeners, Television viewers,
Newspaper and magazine readers, Web traffic on
web sites.
• Can you think of any other types of
audiences?
3. Why are audiences important?
•Without audiences there would be no media.
•Media organizations produce media texts to make profit –
no audience = no profit.
•The mass media is becoming more competitive than ever
to attract more and more audiences in different ways and
stay profitable.
4. Impact of New Technology on Audiences
• Old media (TV, Print, Radio) which used to have
high audience numbers must now work harder to
maintain audience numbers.
• Digital technology has also led to an increasing
uncertainty over how we define an audience, with
the general agreement that a large group of people
reading the same thing at the same time is outdated
and that audiences are now ‘fragmented’.
5. Fragmented audience
• The division of audiences into smaller groups due to the
variety of media outlets.
• EXAMPLE:Newspapers and magazines – you can now
view the hard copy AND online version (sometimes free).
• The aim is to hit as many people as possible/sell more
copies/generate a larger audience. But measuring that
audience becomes hard! You may have some people that
only look online, some that only read the hard copy, or
some that do both!
6. So how do institutions continue to
make money?
• Nothing in life is free
• Free apps always have adverts, unless you pay to remove
adds.
• Websites and search engines work hard to target you with
ads whilst you consume ‘free online’ versions of your
media product
• These adverts are carefully constructed and selected for
the primary audience for each text
• With newspapers, printing less copies and switching to
online distribution can reduce production costs. (see your
local newspaper)
7. Types of Audience
• Mass audience – often termed ‘broadcast audience’.
Those who consume mainstream or popular texts such as
soaps or sitcoms. Media and communication that targets
a very large group of people (women, men, children,
adults etc).
• Examples of media with mass audience…
8. Types of Audience
• Niche audience – much smaller but very
influential. A niche audience is a small, select
group of people with a very unique interest.
•Examples of niche publications…
9. Categories
Audiences can be divided into categories
based on social class/grade.
Why do we
categorise
audiences?
10. Psychographics
• Every advertiser wants to target a particular type of
audience. Therefore, media companies produce
texts that target a particular ‘type’ of audience.
• In terms of commercial media, much of their funding
is generated by advertising revenue. Their product
needs to appeal to a specific type of audience so
that advertisers will pay to promote their product.
• Most media products can define their ‘typical’
audience member, often with a psychographic
profile.
• Example http://au.advertising.yahoo.com/our-network/
brands/-/5006012/marie-claire
11. A full list of categories with detailed
notes
• Can be found at
http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.914
• For a summary, please look at the following slides
12. What types of media texts would they
consume? Group A
• Lawyers
•Doctors
• Scientists
•Well paid professionals
13. Group B – for each category, think
about income boundaries
•Teachers
• Middle management
•Fairly well paid professionals
14. Group C1 – remember that categories
are not fixed
• Junior management
•Bank clerks
•Nurses
• ‘White collar’ professions
16. Group D – some categories
represent audience stereotypes
•Manual workers such as:
• Drivers
•Post sorters
17. Group E - You
• Students
•Unemployed
•Pensioners
18. Research methods
• How do we measure media audiences?
• Sales, subscriptions, ratings, figures
• Who measures audiences?
• NRS
• ABC
• BARB
• Bookseller
• (these are just some of the organisations who monitor
audience sizes).
• http://www.thinkbox.tv/server/show/nav.836
TASK: Find out about these companies, and see if you can find some more.
19. New Media
• Can you think of any NEW ways in which we can
measure audience? Think about the picture below…
• Facebook and other social network sites – ‘like’
• Online forums – comments tools
• Views on YouTube & Google +1
• Twitter trends
• CASE STUDY: Rebecca Black
• How did a $4000 vanity video become a part of modern
pop culture?
20. Research
• When looking at audiences, there are two main types of research:
• Quantitative research – e.g. questionnaires.
• Number based
• Closed questions to generate exact answers
• Very factual
• Qualitative research – e.g. interviews, focus groups
• Analysis of existing products
• Open questions to generate answers open to interpretation
• Individual preferences
• Qualitative research will be very important in your
coursework!
