The Co-Tutor system is an intelligent personal tutoring system used at Loughborough University that allows staff to manage relationships with students and monitor their academic performance and welfare. It contains details on over 19,000 current students. Surveys found that staff reported positive effects on continuity of student support, identifying and assisting struggling students, and improving communication. The system also provides metrics to enhance the student experience and support flexible tutoring roles. While useful, challenges remain regarding workload, integration with other systems, user permissions, and automated data collection.

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.

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.

14. RECOMMENDATIONS: Challenges to Address
1. Frustration at increased workload can manifest itself in frustration with using the system.
2. “I now feel that I have to meet in my office rather than a café or neutral space”.
3. Seamless integration with email clients.
4. Implementing a distributed methodology, using API‟s or common interfaces, relies on a
common University wide approach.
5. The balance of automation versus human intervention.
6. Identification of attendance „touch-points‟ that are critically linked to attainment.
7. Can meaningful engagement data be included?
8. Complex user permissions to view student data as well as staff activity.
9. Who is monitoring the monitors?
10. More automated methods of capturing attendance seamlessly linked to current system.
