The Raspberry Pi is a series of credit card–sized single-board computers developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools.
The original Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi 2 are manufactured in several board configurations through licensed manufacturing agreements with Newark element14 (Premier Farnell), RS Components and Egoman. These companies sell the Raspberry Pi online. Egoman produces a version for distribution solely in China and Taiwan, which can be distinguished from other Pis by their red colouring and lack of FCC/CE marks. The hardware is the same across all manufacturers.
The original Raspberry Pi is based on the Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and was originally shipped with 256 megabytes of RAM, later upgraded (models B and B+) to 512 MB. The system has Secure Digital (SD) (models A and B) or MicroSD (models A+ and B+) sockets for boot media and persistent storage.
In this presentation, production of digital audio is discussed. Also brief introduction about digital audio broadcast, recording techniques and stereo phony is given.

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

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.

Signal Processors
Characteristics
Types & Uses
4. Signal Processors - Introduction
Audio signal processing is the electronic
manipulation of audio signals either analog or digital.
Audio signals are electronic representation of sound
waves—longitudinal waves which travel through air,
consisting of compressions and rarefactions. The
energy contained in audio signals is typically
measured in decibels.
Analog processors operate directly on the electrical
signal, while digital processors operate
mathematically on its digital representation.
6. Spectrum processor
A spectrum processor is a device that displays
signal amplitude (strength) as it fluctuate by
signal frequency. The music industry
uses spectrum analyzers to examine the frequency
spectrum of audio signal either while recording or
mixing. Eg : Equalizer
An Analog spectrum processor (dbx 215 Dual channel Equalizer)

8. Time Processors
Time Processors are used to change or alter the time
of audio signals such as reverberations or delays
etc. It can also alter the time interval of an audio
signal and its repetition.
Eg: Reverb, Delay, Phaser, Chorus, Flanger etc.

affects the dynamic range of the audio signal.
Eg: Compressor, Limiter, Maximizer, Expander etc.
Amplitude Processors
Dangerous Compressor ( Outboard Equipment)
12. Noise Processors
A noise gate or gate is an electronic device or software that is used to
control the volume of an audio signal. In its simplest form, a noise gate
allows a main signal to pass through only when it is above a set
threshold: the gate is "open". If the signal falls below the threshold, no
signal is allowed to pass (or the signal is substantially attenuated): the
gate is "closed“.

14. Audio effects (Wikipedia)
Audio effects are systems designed to alter how an
audio signal sounds. Unprocessed audio is
metaphorically referred to as dry, while processed audio
is referred to as wet.
delay or echo - To simulate the effect of reverberation in
a large hall or cavern, one or several delayed signals
are added to the original signal. To be perceived as
echo, the delay has to be of order 35 milliseconds or
above.
Analog echo effects are implemented using tape delays
or bucket-brigade devices. When large numbers of
delayed signals are mixed a reverberation effect is
produced; The resulting sound has the effect of being
presented in a large room.
15. Flanger - to create an unusual sound, a delayed signal
is added to the original signal with a continuously
variable delay (usually smaller than 10 ms). This effect
is now done electronically using DSP.
phaser - another way of creating an unusual sound; the
signal is split, a portion is filtered with a variable all-pass
filter to produce a phase-shift, and then the unfiltered
and filtered signals are mixed to produce a comb filter.
chorus - a delayed version of the signal is added to the
original signal. The delay has to be short in order not to
be perceived as echo, but above 5 ms to be audible. If
the delay is too short, it will destructively interfere with
the un-delayed signal and create a flanging effect.
De-esser - control of sibilance in speech and singing.
16. Often, the delayed signals will be slightly pitch shifted to
more realistically convey the effect of multiple voices.
equalization - frequency response is adjusted
using audio filter(s) to produce desired spectral
characteristics. Frequency ranges can be emphasized
or attenuated using low-pass, high-pass, band-
pass or band-stop filters.
timescale-pitch modification - this effect shifts a signal
up or down in pitch.
resonators - emphasize harmonic frequency content on
specified frequencies. These may be created
from parametric equation or from delay-based comb-
filters.
17. Analogue v/s Digital
Analog equipment that exhibits high bandwidth,
non-linear behavior presents the biggest challenges
in creating accurate models,” he said. “But it’s often
the sound of these non-linearities that makes the
original analog equipment so desired.
When using plug-in, many recordist miss the “feel”
of analog hardware. Interestingly, this is often age
centric. Most younger people without analog
experience tend to gravitate toward plug-in because
it’s all they know. But for audio veterans, it is hard to
forget the subtle satisfaction that comes when the
tape speed on a machine fluctuates ever so slightly.

18. Summary
Audio signal processing is a subfield
of signal processing that is concerned
with the electronic manipulation
of audio signals
It can be used to process the audio
as both analog and digitally.
Signal processors are used in audio
chain in order to give special effects
for the dry audio.
19. Points to Remember
An analog audio signal is a continuous signal represented by an
electrical voltage or current that is “analogous” to the sound waves
in the air. Analog signal processing then involves physically altering
the continuous signal by changing the voltage or current or charge
via electrical circuits.
A digital representation expresses the audio waveform as a
sequence of symbols, usually binary numbers. Most modern audio
systems use a digital approach as the techniques of digital signal
processing are much more powerful and efficient than analog
domain signal processing.
Processing methods and application areas include storage, data
compression, music information retrieval, speech
processing, localization, acoustic detection, transmission, noise
cancellation, acoustic fingerprinting, sound recognition, synthesis,
and enhancement (e.g. equalization, filtering, level
compression, echo and reverb removal or addition, etc.).
