Presented at the NAFSA Region III 2015 conference by Colin Large and Laura Semenow from the University of Tulsa.
As students become more active on college campuses, especially near the end of academic terms the traditional model of extensive in-person pre-departure orientations have come into direct conflict with student time constraints, as well as staff resources. At the same time, study abroad offices have seen an increase in the amount of information, both cultural and administrative, that needs to be communicated to students. This session will discuss the limitations of traditional pre-departure orientations and explore ways in which institutions can develop and implement online orientations. Finally, this session will outline limitations of online orientation programs and discuss potential solutions.

The University of Oxford recently piloted Lean as a structured, participative approach to change. Lean was chosen because its foci on customer value and reduction of waste matched the Academic Administration Division’s (AAD) requirement for a methodology which would engage staff and release resource capacity by reducing wasted effort. SUMS Consulting was asked to introduce Lean concepts to the Academic Administration Division at the University and to facilitate a number of Lean workshops focusing on processes related to student fees and funding. This presentation will bring together three perspectives on Lean. Firstly, the academic background to the methodology and how it has been used in other sectors. Secondly, the Oxford experience and how it has changed Oxford’s approach to change in its academic administration. Lastly, a wider sector experience of Lean and similar methodologies.

Higher Ed has a culture of collaboration as part of its DNA. Innovative Salesforce solutions are emerging from schools that are spending significant IT resources to develop amazing solutions for the ever changing higher education landscape. There should be a way for schools to package and benefit from the results of their innovation and labor, while not requiring schools to take on the responsibility of becoming a software company. This talk explores a school-to-school marketplace model that will accelerate innovation, encourage enterprise Salesforce adoption, and use HEDA as a core strategy.

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.
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.

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.

• Your future choice of
career need not be dictated
by your subject but it can
be a good place to start
thinking about what really
interests you
16. Where do I start?
Starting Point: 2 Questions
1. What would be the most important factors
for you when choosing a career?
2. What are your skills and strengths that you
would like to use in your future job?
17. Options after your PhD
Linear

job satisfaction and challenge you as well as find the work /
life balance that is right for you.
• Realism about what it takes to find the ideal job
• “Skill -up” – identify gaps & develop the skills. Develop other
skills in non-research activities –“extra-curricular” is important
• Learn how to present yourself effectively in a CV & in
person
20. Working with the Graduate School
• Support Professional Skills Development Programme
• Comprehensive programme of Career Management workshops e.g.
• Career Planning & Job Search etc.

39. A different perspective
You are already a third of the way there!
• Movement towards self-sufficient work
• Change in focus of your project
But remember:
•
•
•
•
Everyone’s projects are different
You might end up with 3 papers at the end of your PhD, or none!
A PhD is about growth – not good results or bad results
You’re still a student – expect to keep learning throughout
40. A different perspective
Common feelings of PhD students:
• Imposter Syndrome
• “I don’t know what I’m doing”
• “Everyone’s doing better than me”
You’re not just a monkey at a typewriter:
• Arrange time-off with your supervisor if you need it
• Join some societies
• Go to GSU events
42. What is the GSU?
• All postgraduates are members automatically
• The executive committee is run by student volunteers,
elected by students
• Constituent union under the Imperial College Union for
postgraduates

49. The most useful things I know about
completing a PhD
• The learning agreement with your
supervisor
• Using the support network available to you
• Writing things down and up - regularly
• Making task lists
• Formulating the problem
• Keep asking questions….
• Formulating the problem (and repeat)
• Taking a break
Page 49
50. A learning agreement...
A mutually negotiated & agreed set of expectations
What you can expect from each other as supervisor &
research student
Covers the rules & regulations
Also cover the details of how you (both) like to work ...
or a compromise version of what you want
Set things off to a good start
Can be renegotiated to reflect change & solve issues

56. Write things down
• A summary of literature
• Tasks for the next week, month
• Review your time plan
Write things up
• Regular small reports
• Small milestones achieved might be
sufficient for a conference presentation
• Take the appropriate graduate school
courses
• Practice giving talks to your peer group
