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
4. Introduction
What is a BMS?
A Burner Management System is defined as
the following:
A Control System that is dedicated to boiler
safety, operator assistance in the starting and
stopping of fuel preparation and burning
equipment, and the prevention of mis-operation
of and damage to fuel preparation and fuel
burning equipment. 1
1. From NFPA 8501 “Standard for Single Burner Boiler Operation”
5. Burner Management Objectives
Sequence burner through safe start-up
Insure a complete pre-purge of boiler
Supervise safety limits during operation
Supervise the flame presence during
operation
Sequence a safe shutdown at end of cycle
Integrate with combustion control system
for proper fuel and air flows
6. BMS Design Standards
Each Burner Management System should be
designed in accordance with the below listed
guidelines to control and monitor all sequences of
the start-up and shutdown of the burner
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 8501
/8502 or others)
Industrial Risk Insurers (IRI)
Factory Mutual loss prevention guidelines
Each burner management system should be
designed to accomplish a safety shutdown in the
event of an unsafe condition. (FAIL SAFE)
7. BMS Design Standards
U.S. National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA)
Governs safety system design on virtually all boilers
(regardless of the process to be used to combust the
fuel)
Requires the separation of the Burner Management
System from any other control system
Requires the use of a hardwired backup tripping scheme
for microprocessor based systems
Requires that a single failure NOT prevent an
appropriate shutdown
Factory Mutual loss prevention guidelines.
8. NFPA 8501
NFPA 8501 Standard for Single Burner
Boiler Operation
Single Burner Boilers with fuel input greater than 12.5
mBTU/Hr (Approx. 250 BHP)
Single Fuel or Combination of Fuels (Common being
Natural Gas / No.2 Oil / No. 6 Oil)
Simultaneous Firing
9. NFPA 8502

Furnace Explosions / Implosions in Multiple
Burner Boilers
Multiple Burner Boilers with fuel input greater than
12.5 mBTU/Hr
Single Fuel or Combination of Fuels including
Pulverized Coal
Emphasis on implosion protection (larger boilers with
induced draft systems)
10. BMS Definitions
Furnace Explosions
“Ignition of accumulated combustible mixture within
the confined space of a furnace or associated boiler
passes, ducts, and fans that convey gases of combustion
to the stack”1
Magnitude and intensity of explosion depends on
relative quantity of combustibles and the proportion of
air at the time of ignition
1. From NFPA 8502 “Prevention of Furnace Explosions / Implosions in Multiple Burner Boilers”
11. BMS Definitions
Furnace Explosions can occur with any or a
combination of the following:1
Momentary loss of flame followed by delayed re-
ignition
Fuel leakage into an idle furnace ignited by source of
ignition (such as a welding spark)
Repeated Light-off attempts without proper purging
Loss of Flame on one Burner while others are in
operation
Complete Furnace Flame-out followed by an attempt to
light a burner
1. From NFPA 8502 “Prevention of Furnace Explosions / Implosions in Multiple Burner Boilers”
12. BMS Definitions
Furnace Implosions
More common in large Utility Boilers
Caused by any of the following:
» Malfunction of equipment regulating boiler gas flow
resulting in furnace exposure to excessive induced
draft fan head capability
» Rapid decay for furnace gas temperature and
pressure due to furnace trip
1. From NFPA 8502 “Prevention of Furnace Explosions / Implosions in Multiple Burner Boilers”
13. BMS Basic Definitions
Common Terminology
Supervised Manual
» Manual Burner Lightoff with Interlocks
Automatic Recycling (Single Burner Only)
» Automatic Burner Start and Stop based on preset
operating range (ie.. Drum pressure)
Automatic Non Recycling (Single Burner Only)
» Automatic Burner Start and Stop based on Manual
command to start.
14. Types of Flame Scanners
