How much time do you spend actually completing your primary job duties? On average, it’s 45% of your workday. That means that more than half of your hours at the office are spent doing other things like administrative tasks (including dealing with the back-and-forth of contracts).
This Valentine’s Day, wouldn’t it be great to spend less time on contracts and more time doing the things you love? These slides will tell you how.

Course Description (Catalog)
GEOG101 Introduction to Geography (3 credits) This course is a basic overview of the Geographer’s study of the location and distribution of features on the Earth’s surface. These features are both natural and man-made, both physically and culturally determined. The relationship of people and place is central to an understanding of human history, contemporary events, and possible global futures. As an introductory course it covers the whole globe and all its greatest geographic features and relationships. This dictates that the approach is broad and not too deep. However, knowledge of the Geographer’s art will enable the student to delve as deeply as their interest and energy will allow, into the dynamic spatial realities that surround them.
Table of Contents
Course Scope
GEOG101 empowers students to engage in critical thinking, communication, information literacy and academic skills that support creative decision-making and life-long learning. This is accomplished by introducing, reinforcing and applying “spatial analysis” to the assessment of physical, environmental and human patterns. Geographic topics and problems are approached from a spatial perspective and by viewing current events through geographic concepts. The craft of utilizing maps to interpret and assess issues in our world is introduced and applied.
Have you always wanted a “behind the scenes” peek at what makes nations different? Would you like to learn the answer as to why things are where they are and how they got there? Need a better understanding of climate, culture, and commerce? This course will build a base for your intellectual understanding of the world you live and work in.
This course covers the entire globe and introduces each realm with its regions and peoples. Since our medium of instruction is interaction via the Internet, creative and productive use of the worldwide web is integral to all our efforts together in this course. This will add to your ability to continue life-long learning in a global, diverse, and technological society.

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.
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

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.

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.

PLAGIARISM
AND
OTHER
FORMS
OF
CHEATING
Plagiarism
is
a
serious
act
of
academic
misconduct.
Plagiarism
is
a
serious
maOer
and
is
treated
as
such
by
the
Faculty
of
Law
and
the
University.
Please
be
aware
that
‘academic
dishonesty’
(which
goes
beyond
plagiarism)
can
be
a
ground
for
refusal
by
the
industry
to
admit
a
person
to
prac4ce
as
a
legal
prac44oner.
Plagiarism
and
academic
honesty
are
also
essen4ally
aspects
of
ethical
and
honest
behaviour,
which
are
central
to
the
prac4ce
of
law
and
an
understanding
of
what
it
is
to
be
a
lawyer.
The
instructor
adheres
strictly
to
the
Faculty
of
Law’s
and
the
University’s
policies,
rules
and
guidelines
on
examina4ons,
assessment,
plagiarism
and
chea4ng
in
examina4ons
and
related
forms
of
assessment.
