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
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19

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.
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.

Unstructured decisions:
• Novel, non-routine decisions requiring judgment and
insights
• Examples: Approve capital budget; decide corporate
objectives
9. DECISION MAKING AND DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Types of Decisions (Continued)
Structured decisions:
• Routine decisions with definite procedures
• Examples: Restock inventory; determine special offers
to customers
Semistructured decisions:
• Only part of decision has clear-cut answers provided
by accepted procedures
• Examples: Allocate resources to managers; develop a
marketing plan
10. DECISION MAKING AND DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Systems for Decision Support
There are four kinds of systems that support the different
levels and types of decisions:
• Management Information Systems (MIS)
• Decision-Support Systems (DSS)
• Executive Support Systems (ESS)
• Group Decision-Support Systems (GDSS)
11. DECISION MAKING AND DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Stages in Decision Making
Figure 7-3
12. DECISION MAKING AND DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Decision Making in the Real World
In the real world, investments in decision-support systems
do not always work because of
• Information quality: Accuracy, integrity, consistency,
completeness, validity, timeliness, accessibility
• Management filters: Biases and bad decisions of
managers
• Organizational inertia: Strong forces within
organization that resist change
13. DECISION MAKING AND DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Trends in Decision Support and Business Intelligence
The rise of client/server computing, the Internet, and Web
technologies made a major impact on systems that support
decision making.
Six Major Trends:
• Detailed enterprise-wide data
• Broadening decision rights and responsibilities
14. DECISION MAKING AND DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Trends in Decision Support and Business Intelligence
(Continued)
• Intranets and portals
• Personalization and customization of information
• Extranets and collaborative commerce
• Team support tools
15. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
The Difference between MIS and DSS
Management Information Systems:
• Primarily address structured problems
• Provides typically fixed, scheduled reports based on
routine flows of data and assists in the general control
of the business
16. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Decision Support Systems:
• Support semistructured and unstructured problems
• Greater emphasis on models, assumptions, ad-hoc
queries, display graphics
• Emphasizes change, flexibility, and a rapid response
17. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Types of Decision-Support Systems
Model-driven DSS:
• Primarily stand-alone systems
• Use a strong theory or model to perform “what-if” and
similar analyses
18. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Data-driven DSS:
• Integrated with large pools of data in major enterprise
systems and Web sites
• Support decision making by enabling user to extract
useful information
• Data mining: Can obtain types of information such as
associations, sequences, classifications, clusters, and
forecasts
19. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Components of DSS
• DSS database: A collection of current or historical data
from a number of applications or groups
• DSS software system: Contains the software tools for
data analysis, with models, data mining, and other
analytical tools
• DSS user interface: Graphical, flexible interaction
between users of the system and the DSS software
tools
20. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Model: An abstract representation that illustrates the
components or relationships of a phenomenon
• Statistical models
• Optimization models
• Forecasting models
• Sensitivity analysis (“what-if” models)
23. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Business Value of DSS
• Providing fine-grained information for decisions that
enable the firm to coordinate both internal and external
business processes much more precisely
• Helping with decisions in
• Supply chain management
• Customer relationship management
24. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Business Value of DSS (Continued)
• Pricing Decisions
• Asset Utilization
• Data Visualization: Presentation of data in graphical
forms, to help users see patterns and relationships
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Special category
of DSS that display geographically referenced data in
digitized maps
25. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT

Figure 7-6
26. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Web-Based Customer Decision-Support Systems
• DSS based on the Web and the Internet can support
decision making by providing online access to various
databases and information pools along with software for
data analysis
• Some of these DSS are targeted toward management,
but many have been developed to attract customers.
27. SYSTEMS FOR DECISION SUPPORT
Web-based Customer Decision-Support Systems
(Continued)
• Customer decision making has become increasingly
information intensive, with Internet search engines,
intelligent agents, online catalogs, Web directories, e-
mail, and other tools used to help make purchasing
decisions.
• Customer decision-support systems (CDSS) support
the decision-making process of an existing or potential
customer.
28. GROUP DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
What Is a GDSS?
• Group Decision-Support System (GDSS) is an interactive
computer-based system used to facilitate the solution of
unstructured problems by a set of decision makers
working together as a group.
29. GROUP DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Three Main Components of GDSS:
• Hardware (conference facility, audiovisual
equipment, etc.)
• Software tools (Electronic questionnaires,
brainstorming tools, voting tools, etc.)
• People (Participants, trained facilitator, support staff)
30. GROUP DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Overview of a GDSS Meeting
• In a GDSS electronic meeting, each attendee has a
workstation.
• The workstations are networked and are connected to the
facilitator’s console, which serves as the facilitator’s
workstation and control panel, and to the meeting’s file
server.
• All data that the attendees forward from their
workstations to the group are collected and saved on the
file server.
31. GROUP DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Overview of a GDSS Meeting (Continued)
• The facilitator is able to project computer images onto the
projection screen at the front of the room.
• Many electronic meeting rooms have seating
arrangements in semicircles and are tiered in legislative
style to accommodate a large number of attendees.
• The facilitator controls the use of tools during the
meeting.

33. GROUP DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Business Value of GDSS
• Traditional decision-making meetings support an optimal
size of three to five attendees. GDSS allows a greater
number of attendees.
• Enable collaborative atmosphere by guaranteeing
contributor’s anonymity.
• Enable nonattendees to locate organized information
after the meeting.
34. GROUP DECISION-SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Business Value of GDSS (Continued)
• Can increase the number of ideas generated and the
quality of decisions while producing the desired results in
fewer meetings
• Can lead to more participative and democratic decision
making
35. EXECUTIVE SUPPORT IN THE ENTERPRISE
The Role of Executive Support Systems in the Firm
• ESS can bring together data from all parts of the firm
and enable managers to select, access, and tailor
them as needed.
• It tries to avoid the problem of data overload so
common in paper reports.
36. EXECUTIVE SUPPORT IN THE ENTERPRISE
The Role of Executive Support Systems in the Firm
(Continued)
• The ability to drill down is useful not only to senior
executives but also to employees at lower levels of
the firm who need to analyze data.
• Can integrate comprehensive firmwide information
and external data in timely manner
• Inclusion of modeling and analysis tools usable with a
minimum of training
37. EXECUTIVE SUPPORT IN THE ENTERPRISE
Business Value of Executive Support Systems
• Ability to analyze, compare, and highlight trends
• Graphical interface enables users to review data
more quickly and with more insight, speeding
decision making.
• Timeliness and availability of data enables more
timely decision making, helping businesses move
toward a “sense-and-respond” strategy.
38. EXECUTIVE SUPPORT IN THE ENTERPRISE
Business Value of Executive Support Systems
(Continued)
• Increases upper management span of control, better
monitoring
• ESS based on enterprise-wide data can be used for
decentralization of decision making or increase
management centralization.
39. MANAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES AND DECISIONS
Management Opportunities:
• Decision-support systems provide opportunities for
increasing precision, accuracy, and rapidity of
decisions and thereby contributing directly to
profitability
40. MANAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES AND DECISIONS
Management Challenges:
• Building systems that can actually fulfill Executive
Information Requirements
• Changing management thinking to make better use
of systems for decision support
• Organizational resistance
41. Building a Knowledge-Creating
Company
A knowledge-creating company or learning
organization…
Consistently creates new business knowledge
Disseminates it throughout the company
Builds it into its products and services
42. Two Kinds of Knowledge
Explicit Knowledge
Data, documents, and things written down or
stored in computers
Tacit Knowledge
The “how-to” knowledge in workers’ minds
Represents some of the most important
information within an organization
A knowledge-creating company makes such tacit
knowledge available to others
43. Knowledge Management
Successful knowledge management
Creates
techniques, technologies, systems,
and rewards for getting employees to share
what they know
Makesbetter use of accumulated workplace
and enterprise knowledge
46. Knowledge Management
Systems (KMS)
Knowledge management systems
A major strategic use of IT
Manages organizational learning and know-how
Helps knowledge workers create, organize, and make
available important knowledge
Makes this knowledge available wherever and
whenever it is needed
Knowledge includes
Processes, procedures, patents, reference works,
formulas, best practices, forecasts, and fixes
