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

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.

The goal is to promote widespread mastery of CXR interpretation.
There is no personal health information [PHI] within, and ages have been
changed to protect patient confidentiality.
3. Process
Many are providing cases and these slides are shared with all contributors.
Contributors from many CMC departments, and soon… Tanzania and Brazil.

22. Pediatric Chest Tube Recommendations
• Consider what is it you have to drain
• Acute blood or air can easily be drained with a pigtail
catheter
• If it is expected to be viscous, you may need a small
caliber thoracostomy tube, however Chien-Heng found no
difference between drainage and hospitalization days
when using a pigtail catheter versus thoracostomy tube
for drainage of parapneumonic effusion1
• Be nice – anesthetize and sedate if needed
• Be safe – Use a flexible tipped guidewire and US for
guidance
• Aim high – above 6th intercostal space

NO! Prominent

YES!
25. Differentiating the Thymic Shadow
“thymic sail sign” is a triangular extension of the
normal thymus laterally
The anterior reflections
of the ribs produce a wavy
contour of the thymus
known as the “thymus
wave sign”
The inferior margin of the
thymus merges with the
margin of the cardiac
silhouette, producing the
“notch sign”

37. Next Step?
• Bilateral decubitus lateral films allows assessment of air-trapping caused by
an inhaled foreign body. The expectation is that the dependent lung will
collapse partially in the normal patient. Where there is an obstructive
foreign body there will be air-trapping and hyperlucency of the dependent
lung so that the dependent lung is increased in volume or paradoxically
normal in volume
• BUT they are not perfect. A small retrospective study of 28 children who
underwent bronchoscopy for suspected foreign body aspiration found that
as a measure of detecting foreign body aspiration, positive decubitus
radiographs had a sensitivity of 27%, a specificity of 67%, a positive
predictive value of 75%, and a negative predictive value of 20% - this does
not mean that lateral decubitus films should not be used, but shows the
importance of use of imaging in conjunction with a good HISTORY and
PHYSICAL EXAM!!!!

52. Coin Vs. Button Battery
• Why does it matter?
• An electric current is generated when the battery comes in contact with mucosa, leading to localized burn
injury.
• If the alkaline battery leaks, corrosive injury and liquefactive necrosis can occur. This is more common with
non-lithium batteries and is usually not the cause of tissue damage that is seen to occur within 2 hours.
• The negative terminal, which is on the narrower side of the battery, generates hydroxide ions and is where
necrosis occurs. This can be remembered as “narrow-negative-necrotic.”
• Batteries lodged in the esophagus may cause serious burns in as little as 30 minutes and the patient might
be asymptomatic initially.
• Certain button batteries carry greater risk than others. Patients with lithium battery ingestions have worse
outcomes, as these have the potential to generate a higher current than other batteries and cause greater
damage.
• A button battery in the esophagus is an emergency and should be removed within 2 hours
