How to effectively integrate guest/visiting lecturers into HEI provision.Simon Haslett
Presentation by Dr Gavin Bunting (University of Wales) at the Research-Teaching Practice in Wales Conference, 10th September 2013, at the University of Wales, Gregynog Hall. Slidecast edited by Professor Simon Haslett.
This is the presentation that was delivered to the Viewpoints team at the first 'data day' - its aims were to show the immediate team the current stage of development and to discuss the data implications of the user interface and user choices.
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.
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

Critical thinking blanco (3)
1.
2. Description/Characteristics:
• Critical thinking aims to get students to analyze
and construct answers through thinking rather
than finding an answer in a textbook
• Problem solving
• Creative
• Complex
• Focuses on question
• Forces students to explore different things
CRITICAL THINKING
3. Importance:
Critical thinking is important because if
teachers can get their students to think, they
will be able to learn better. Critical thinking
also makes the student look deeper for an
answer. The student has to think about the
answer instead of being given the answer
explicitly. Critical thinking can also improve
standardized test scores.
CRITICAL THINKING
4. Role in 21st Century:
In this class we have used:
Blogs- virtual vision board
WebQuest- interactive search for information
Zello- walkie talkie discussions
Photoshop- virtual manipulation of photos
Social Media-social interactions using technology
CRITICAL THINKING
5. Implementing Technology:
Blogs: We can use blogs to develop a creative view of
revisioning a certain topic such as updating a classic
piece of literature to modern times.
Webquests: Promotes CT by being an interactive search of
information and then applying this information to
complete an essay that incorporates opinion.
Zello: Socratic seminar- asking several questions
Photoshop: Also uses creativity that inhibits CT by
incorporating thought and artistic development
Social Media: is a way of incorporating socratic seminar in
way that kids are use to and comfortable with.
CRITICAL THINKING
6. Example of application: One very important concept within the pillar of Critical
Thinking is project based learning. It is an awesome way to foster critical thinking
skills and incorporates these skills all at once. In order to promote this pillar inside
the classroom, an excellent educational web tool called GroupMap can be used for
group brainstorming and decision making. It allows you to create your own map and
invite others to contribute to it. There are several ways to incorporate GroupMap
inside the classroom. For instance, students will be split into groups and provided
iPads or laptops per group. A focus question will be given during Reading: “What do
you think the key issues are in this story?” Each team will provide their own
responses and a list of ideas that will be commented on, voted and prioritized. This
web tool can be used for any question given during the class day, promoting critical
thinking.
CRITICAL THINKING
7. Conclusion:
In conclusion, Critical Thinking is a very important,
if not the most important, 21st Century pillar.
Students use critical thinking every single day
inside or outside the classroom, maybe without
even realizing it. As teachers, we should challenge
students to think critically and not develop learned
helplessness.
