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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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 world is ridden with environmental and
social problems like climate change, poverty,
inequality and the refugee crisis that easily
give us a sense of hopelessness.
14. • 18 cases
• Large companies
• End user involvement
• 4 domains: energy,
mobility, living, food
• 4 regions
• Innovations which
addressed social and/or
environmental issues

Background
15. 15
Skanska:
• Affordable, eco-efficient housing for
low incomes
• Public authority, end users,
academia, business partners
Examples
Vélib’:
• City cycle share system
• Public authority, end users,
sustainability start-up, cycling
associations
16. • Companies worked with ordinary people, users, environmental and social
groups, academia and public sector organisations.
• Sustainability innovation calls for novel ideas or capabilities beyond the usual
business partners.
• The best recipe is to work with a limited number of selected stakeholders. Only
large companies have enough resources to do this.
• Most impactful sustainability-oriented innovation resulted from involving multiple
company members in innovation with stakeholders.

Key Findings
17. Multiple stakeholders
17
E.On:
• Smart control system for solar power
• Public authority, academic, end user,
business
Frosta:
• Additive free frozen fish
• Business, end user, academia, CSO,
public authority
18. Beyond the usual business partners
18
Rockwool:
• Eco friendly housing shelters
• CSO, academic, end users
Ecoveritas:
• Solution for food wastage
• Business, CSO, end users
19. The best recipe: strategies for collaboration with
deviant partners
Strategy 1:
- Selective early collaboration
- Few stakeholder partners
- Early phase of collaboration
Strategy 2:
- Selective late collaboration
- Verification strategy
- Inputs from stakeholders are
minimal in the early phasesStrategy 3:
- Broad committed collaboration
- Final decisions are taken alone
- Most suitable for large companies with extensive resources
In the times when
open innovation is
becoming a norm
across different
industries keeping
innovation and
stakeholders
relationships
separate makes little
sense from business
point of view
19
20. Managerial implications
• Importance of strong ties
• Integrating stakeholders into innovation processes of
sustainable products require building of strong ties to
stakeholders.
• Importance of Fuzzy Front End
• Not a necessary condition but strong signal that
beneficial in order to achieve high sustainability
outcome.
• Avoid too large stakeholder networks
• Particularly important for smaller companies

The results of the qualitative comparative analysis show that the intense collaboration with users
at all stages of the development process triggered a strong product-service character of the
emerging mobility solutions that increase market attractiveness.
24. How to….?
• Look out for policy initiatives or projects stimulated by public authorities
• Work with ‘unusual’ stakeholders to help navigate the complex multi-stakeholder
environment.
• Give users and new audiences the chance to try out new concepts of products
or services.
• Get users involved in on-line ideas contests. As well as technical functionality
and rewards, pay attention to:
• Leadership style: clear vision, joint goals, exceed expectations, transformational
• Competitive climate: emphasis on competition may not be most effective
• Work with CSOs, academia and public authorities to build credibility and trust,
and to sensitize the public of new sustainability solutions
• Don’t take policy as a given! Public authorities can help create a regulatory-
friendly environment.
• Sustainability specialists can help extend the impact of new innovations to
create more holistic solutions.
