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.
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
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Editor's Notes
Introduction – we did a book sprint
Ok, this starts with the Sussex Research Hive Scholars, who are a team of three doctoral researchers on a one-year scholarship working to build connections within the Sussex Research community and to offer peer support to doctoral researchers.
In 2017 the scholars wanted to do something different- they wanted to think about publication in a more practical way. They wanted to run a booksprint.
Intro – bit about the scholarship and how it’s connected to this
The Research Hive is a space in the library dedicated for researchers, however this scholarship – supported by a gift from Sage publications- gives the library scope to work with researchers to explore their needs beyond that of the physical space of the library.
Each year a new set of scholars bring something new to the Hive. As a self-managing team, they have the freedom to develop their own initiatives and focus on areas that interest them. The scholars support their peers with informal shifts in the Hive space, online through their social media and blog and through various activities and peer-led discussions.
Scholar events usually focus on something that appeals to researchers across all disciplines- discussions about surviving your viva are always popular, or how to manage your supervisor and almost every year the scholars have been keen to think and talk about publishing. The why’s and how’s of balancing publication midway through a doctorate are things many research students are thinking about.
What is a book sprint
A booksprint is a collaborative writing activity that is strictly timeboxed, high pressure and high stress.
The aim is to get a substantial piece of writing completed from initial concept to publication in just a few days.
This inspired the research hive scholars- who were keen to explore the concept for doctoral and early career researchers who have great research ideas and who often do feel a pressure to publish but who equally do not the time to commit to writing a book.
Inspiration from dave
We were already familiar with the book sprint concept at Sussex. Professor of Digital Humanities David Berry has been involved in two booksprints, the second of which is about the booksprint process itself.
In 2016 Professor Berry had come to a research hive event on ‘Alternative Approaches to Publishing’ to share his experiences with booksprints.
He talked about this innovative approach to writing as a way to open up collaboration opportunities for researchers, and to reimagine the timeframes involved with traditional publication.
How- planning - logistics
The Research Hive Scholars began planning their booksprint
First came the logistics- the things needed to make the sprint work- rooms on campus, catering, a realistic time frame.
Plus, the things needed to deliver a completed book- what software would they use, how can you work collaboratively, do we need isbns and doi numbers?
To answer these questions the scholars did a lot of research working with the library- reading about other booksprints, contacting companies who provide booksprint facilitation, testing out various tools.
The book would be written using Booktype, a subscription based writing platform that supports authors and editors creating books. The software would enable the authors to review each other’s work and format a professional publication for immediate distribution online.

How- planning - academic scope
They also thought about the scope of the project -what would the book be about? How would they divide up writing and reviewing activities? Who will the authors be and how will they be recruited?
Seven authors – from different disciplines
Each author would compose a chapter on the topic of home.
Authors would read and review each other's work.
How - planning - the essentials
Finally, there were unexpected questions that arose through the planning process that were absolutely essential - how would we make the authors comfortable? Should we go for high energy health food or high sugar junk food? Should there be scheduled relaxation time? How would we tackle writers block? And, could there ever be enough coffee?
Who what how long
Seven authors – from different disciplines were selected for a four day booksprint in summer 2017.
Each author would compose a chapter on the topic of home.
Authors would read and review each other's work.
The fantastic Dr Catherine Pope agreed to facilitate the sprint: she would be present throughout- motivating the authors, structuring the writing activities and generally keep everyone on schedule.
The final collection of essays would be published as an e-book on Sussex Research Online.
Day one- collective brain
everyone was rather apprehensive at first. But they were quick off the mark as soon as the starting pistols fired.
Day one involved brainstorming concepts, developing ideas into sketches, then critiquing each other’s ideas.
Given the time constraints, this was achieved mainly through silent debate, using Post-It notes and stickers for voting.
A wall of post its became the collective brain and helped the authors keep focus
By the afternoon authors were outlining their chapters and starting to write
Day two- substantial chunk of writing
After the highly structured format of the first day, the Authors suddenly felt more exposed, but they quickly found their stride.
Day two was for writing – and lots of it. The room was buzzing with the sound of high speed typing
By the end of the afternoon, they all had a substantial chunk of writing.
Day 3- mutual support and encouragement
Day Three was more intense. Writing and reviewing. The pressure might have increased, but the authors were motivated and (mostly) confident of success. By this time the group of authors had developed excellent team spirit, with lots of mutual support and encouragement. No one was sprinting alone- this was a relay race.
Day 4
As the finish line loomed on the final day there was so much that needed to happen. The Authors were initially relaxed, all convinced they’d easily meet the midday writing deadline. But as the giant timer counted down, the tension rose.
One by one, there were shrieks of triumph as the Authors completed their chapters. They couldn’t relax yet. Limber from the writing they had to work together to produce the introduction and conclusion, while Library staff began a marathon of formatting and proofreading.
