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.
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
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. The Hunger Games VS. Divergent
Science fiction is a genre of fiction that often involves speculations based on current or
future science or technology. Science fiction films have been with us since 1902, the first science
fiction film was by George Melies’ took cinemagoers off to the planet for the very first time also
known as “A trip to the moon”. Science fiction film is a film genre that incorporates hypothetical,
science-based themes into the plot of the film and have become a large audience shares and still
increasing. Basically, science fiction films are usually scientific, visionary and imaginative. I’m a
movie fanatic. There are lots of popular science fiction films. But to compare and contrast two of
the science fiction films, I have chosen “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent”. I know that
between two movies have similarities but in fact, I find these two movies have more differences
based on storyline, characters motivations, settings and theme.
Thus, the storyline for Hunger Games is that the nation of Panem is divided into twelve
districts and the Capitol by forcing them to select each boy and each girl. Every citizen must watch
as youths fight to death until only one remains. Katniss Everdeen, the main character in the Hunger
Games are separated by birth rather than choice and is about fighting for her freedom which they
do not have their freedom to choose what their district in. As in the storyline of Divergent, which
society is divided into five factions and each can be represent as virtue such as bravery ( Dauntless ),
intelligence ( Erudite ), honesty ( Candor ), selfless ( Abnegation ) and peace ( Amity ). Beatrice
Prior, known as “Tris” and the main character in Divergent. Tris chooses Dauntless, those who
pursue bravery above all else. However, they discover that she is a divergent which means she will
never be able to fit into just one faction. In the divergent world, once you are in there, there is no
going back.
At the same time, these two female protagonists have very different motivations. Katniss
Everdeen was different in a sense that she was a hunter and didn’t like doing typical girl things but
also a strong and resourceful 16 year old girl who is born to be a fighter . In fact, she is more
responsible than anyone else and also the main provider in her family. In contrast, Tris has poor
self-esteem and she never really had many friends but she had no idea how to use weapons and is
born in helping people, she has to learn to be strong and has to learn to be a fighter.
Both Tris and Katniss engage in romance in their stories as well. Tris only has her eyes on
Four, a guy who is in the same faction. Meanwhile, Katniss is involved in a romance triangle with
two boys and struggles to decide which one of them which is her protector and best friend, Gale
and the emblem of hope boy-with-the-bread named Peta.
3. More over, between Hunger Games and Divergent they have different settings. Which The
Hunger Games established in North America by Suzanne Collins while the Divergent is set
specifically in the city of North America known as Chicago by Veronica Roth. Hunger Games
takes place in Panem, a place once known as North America. The author renamed North America
to be a totally different place called Panem. The nation of Panem divided into twelve district and
the Capitol. Each districts has a main industry that functions as the center of life for its population.
Also, this movie is science fiction because it has new technology and advancement and the author
invents hovercrafts, or alien-like airplanes that come and pick up the dead bodies from the arena.
While Divergent is in the city of Chicago. This is a good place as it shows the effect of the city
with the outskirts surrounding the city of all the factions. The city is divided into 5 factions, and if
an adult reached the age of 16 years old, they have their own privilege to choose which faction
they are going to. Tris may live in a strict society but is not forcefully entered into a death game,
like Katniss. Therefore they can decide their own future but if she fails to do so, then she will be
in the factionless.
In conclusion, these two science fiction films have quite a lot differences between each
other, like their storyline, settings, characters motivations and so on. In addition, writing contrast
of differences of these two movies allows me to get more details and understand more about what
the movie is talking about. Both of this films are an exciting and thrilling futuristic book with
realistic characters fighting against society.
