Creating Learning Communities and Developing Critical Thinking Through Online...CIEE
As we seek to reinvent study abroad for the 21st century, a more meaningful use of digital learning, including online courses, is a logical approach. From predeparture to re-entry, online instruction has great potential to deeply inform and even transform the study abroad experience on multiple levels. This session provides a framework for creating online discussion-board activities to encourage learning communities and critical thinking. Optimal instructor engagement also will be addressed. Data from our own courses and a bibliography will be included. Attendees will investigate the implications for their own programs through a guided discussion.

Commonly used instruments are discussed in the context of measuring outcomes. Notable gaps in existing research and needed directions will be discussed. This session will be particularly relevant for both U.S.- and internationally based educators interested in establishing a research agenda for U.S. education abroad.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

What did you like about your image?
I like that I have used shading to the image to create shadows and highlights to the elephant to make it look
more eye catching and not just one block of colour. The darker areas on the elephant I blurred a little bit to
make it blend into the main colour more and to make the image look more professional and to add more detail
to the elephant. Overall for my first go I think the outcome was good but once I get use to all the tools and
practise more the image I create will eventually end up looking a lot better and more professional.
For the second image I used a new technique to add a lot more detail onto the image. When creating
highlighted areas I used the colour range tool to select the more highlighted areas on the original image then
added the colour to give the cartoon more definition and makes the cartoon look more professional.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could do this again I would add a more creative background to make the image look more creative and for it
to be more eye catching and stand out more, instead of having one block colour I would add different colours
like blue at the top for sky and green at the bottom to look like grass. I would also add a bit more detail near
the legs of the elephant to make sure they aren’t one block of colour and show that there are actually legs.
I would improve this image by adding a few more shaded just below the nose and around where the head is to
define the head a bit more and to help it stand out more from the original block colour. For the background I
would make sure it isn't just a block colour and add some detail on it to make the cartoon look more
interesting and for it to stand out more.
7. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
I really like the facial features on this images because I put a lot of detail and time doing them because I wanted them to be what
stands out on the image. For the hair I used colour range to easily select different shadows and highlighted areas in the hair and
then add different colours to the hair to make them look more realistic. My favourite part of this image is the lips and eyes
because I used bright colours for both of them to make them stand out from the rest of the face and to be very eye catching, and
when I was creating the lips and eyes I made sure I add loads of detail to them to make them the main feature of the image.
What I like about the second rotoscope I created was the hair and the eyes because I spent more time on these sections to make
sure that I put a lot of detail and definition in them because I wanted these features to be what stood and on this image and I feel
like I achieved that. I also like that I have added a little bit more shading around the nose and eye area than my last image because
I wanted to see if it would make a difference and in my opinion I think it makes the nose and eyes a little bit more eye catching
and realistic.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could do this image again I would make sure the skin tone of here face and neck aren't as grey and I would also make sure her
clothing was a little bit brighter to make the image more eye catching. I would also use the colour range tool on the eye brows to
add some shadows or highlights to make the brows look more realistic and make the image overall look a bit more professional.
For my second image I would improve how much shadows I put onto the clothing because I think if I added a few more shadows
and a few highlighted areas it would make the clothing look less like one block of colour and make It look more realistic. I could
also try and add a few darker and lighter colours onto the face to create shadows and highlighted areas to make the image look
more realistic and it could allow me to also make certain areas of the face stand out and extenuate certain features.
10. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
When I was doing this task I really liked experimenting with different ways of making the text look more
interesting and unique. With these text I created them by changing the distance between text, distance
between letters, added an image to the letters and used different shapes to cut out certain parts of the text, I
really liked all of my text because of using these different techniques because it allows you to personalise the
text to how every you want it. For my last text I created I added colour and a drop shadow which I liked a lot
because I think it adds more detail and definition to the text and makes it look more interesting and eye
catching.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I did this task again I would experiment using different fonts to see what different effects I could get because
in my opinion I think this technique can be very helpful for creating magazine covers, CD front covert and lot
more. I would also experiment with different shadows and strokes I could use on the text to make it stand out
more and look more unique.
13. Evaluation
What did you like about your image?
For the first cartoon I created I like the contrast between the colours because it makes the cartoon look more
eye catching and I created this effect by changing the threshold to add definition to areas like the hair and eyes.
Even though this image isn't very colourful and is mostly grey I like it because I feel like it makes the cartoon
more unique and stand out more.
On the second cartoon I like that it is more colourful than the first cartoon because it makes it eye catching. For
this cartoon I made it a little bit more abstract by going onto filter gallery and putting the number of levels and
edge simplicity up high to extenuate the shapes of the original image but I also made sure the image still had
definition on the faces by changing the threshold to make sure there would still be detail on the cartoon.
What would you improve if you did it again?
If I could improve my first image I would make it a little bit more realistic by going into filter gallery and making
sure all of the settings weren't too high and I would try and add more definition by changing the threshold to
make pars of the cartoon stand out even more but overall I like the outcome of my first image and wouldn’t
change much.
For my second image I would improve how much definition I put onto the cartoon because I feel like it makes
the characters clothes just look like one block colour which I think ruins the effect of the cartoon. I would also
try and make the image a little bit more abstract to make it look very unique and stand out more because I feel
like if it was more abstract it would have put more emphasise on the shapes from the original image.
