American Lives: Eugene V. Debs
Earning nearly a million votes—6% of the total cast—in his fourth run for the presidency in
1912, Socialist Eugene V. Debs mistakenly believed that the Socialist Party of America (SPA)
stood on the edge of an impending electoral revolution. Known as a radical advocate for the
working class, Debs and other Socialists shared a vision for a new America in which workers
would stand united and solve many of the ills of industrial society.
Under ideal socialism, collective or government ownership of utilities, services, and businesses
would in theory equalize the social classes and evenly distribute wealth among the population.
Poverty would be reduced, and all citizens would share in the nation’s prosperity. In the Pro-
gressive era more than 100 local and state officials and two congressmen were elected under
the SPA. Although Progressives were not Socialists, they expressed similar ideals such as mak-
ing capitalism more responsive to the needs of the average citizen and regulating businesses to
level the playing field in major industries.

Ailing health prevented Debs from challenging incumbent Woodrow Wilson in the 1916 presi-
dential election, but as Wilson prepared the country to enter the world war a year later, Debs
returned to public life and delivered a series of scathing antiwar speeches. Debs argued that
workingmen were disproportionately affected when the nation went to war. They were, he said,
exploited as a fightin.

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.

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.
