This document discusses economic systems and the production possibilities frontier. It defines an economic system as the way a country decides to use its resources and production factors. There are three main types of economic systems - traditional, market, and command economies. A traditional economy relies on customs, while a market economy uses supply and demand and a command economy has the government control production. Most countries now use a mixed economy. The production possibilities frontier model shows the maximum combinations of two goods an economy can produce with full efficiency and available resources. Its shape is bowed out due to the law of increasing opportunity costs. The frontier can shift due to economic growth, changes in resources, capital, or technology.

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.

Economic Systems
* What is an economic system ?
* System=order, structure, rules
* Economic=factors of production, resources
* Economic system =the way a country decides
to use its resources
3. 3 Basic Economic
Questions
1) What to produce ?
ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES
2) How to produce ?
PRODUCTION & EFFICIENCY
3) For whom to produce ?
WHO GETS WHAT? WHY?
5. ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
Found in every economy
Generally seen as money-making
activities
Depending on activity level, location can
or cannot be important
6. ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES
Primary Activities
Use of natural resources directly
Location: at site of natural
resource being used
Examples: farming, mining
Secondary Activities
Use raw materials to produce or
manufacture something new
Location: close to resource or
close to market
Examples: wheat into flour, steel
Tertiary Activities
Provides services to people and
business
Location: usually near customers
Examples: bakery, car dealership
Quaternary Activities
Process and distribute
information
Location: anywhere but needs
access to skilled workers,
transportation and
communication, pleasant climate
and high quality of life
Example: research, engineering
7. ECONOMIC SYSTEMS
Economic activities are found in all
different types of economic systems
Type of system can determine wealth of
nation
Three main types of economy
Traditional
Market
Command
8. Traditional Economy
Found in rural, under-
developed countries–
Vanuatu
Pygmies of Congo
Eskimos & Indian tribes
Belarus
Customs govern the
economic decisions that
are made
Farming, hunting and
gathering are done the
same way as the
generation before
Economic activities are
centered around the family
or ethnic unit
Men and women are given
different economic roles
and tasks
Advantages: people have
specific roles; security in
the way things are done
Disadvantages:
Technology is not used;
difficult to improve
10. Adam Smith and the
Wealth of Nations
Published in 1776
The “invisible hand” of markets
Individuals acting in self-interest lead to
maximized benefit for whole society
Importance of the division of labor
Debunked mercantilism, began the era of
modern economics
11. Market Economy (Free Enterprise)
Also called a Free Market
Economy or Free
Enterprise Economy
Businesses and
consumers decide what
they will produce and
purchase and in what
quantities
Decisions are made
according to law of supply
& demand
Supply and demand of
goods and services
determine what is
produced and the price
that will be charged.
Advantage—competition
to have the best products
and services
Disadvantage—huge rift
between wealthy and
poor
Note: a true market
economy does not exist.
13. Command Economy
The government (or central
authority) determines what, how,
and for whom goods and
services are produced.
Two types:
Strong Command – where
government makes all
decisions (communism –
China, Cuba)
Moderate Command – where
some form of private
enterprise exists but the
state owns major resources
(socialism – France and
Sweden)
Advantages
Guarantees equal standard of
living for everyone
Less crime and poverty
Needs are provided for through
the government
Disadvantages
Minimal choices
Fewer choices of items
No incentive to produce better
product or engage in
entrepreneurship
Also known as a Planned or
Managed Economy
14. Socialism
Broad term to say state or collective
organization of means of production
NOT communism, but some similar
characteristics
Tend to have large welfare systems, but also
high taxes
Found in Northern Europe but declining in
popularity
15. Mixed Economy
Combination of a
market and a
command economy
Government takes
of people’s needs
Marketplace takes
care of people’s
wants.
Most nations have a
mixed economy: United
States, England,
Australia
Advantage —balance
of needs and wants met
by government and in
marketplace
Disadvantage
—citizens have to pay
taxes
16. Transitional Economies
Middle per-capita GDP’s
Have developed and developing features
like large, modern city but subsistent
rural farming
Usually migration from rural to urban
areas
Some have quickly rising incomes
Examples: India, China, Brazil, Thailand
17. ECONOMIC SYSTEMS
Economy Motivator Description Location
Traditional Survival People make goods
for themselves or
their families with
little surplus
Poor countries
and rural areas
Market Profit People freely
choose what to
buy and sell
Wealthier
countries like
US and Australia
Command Government
Regulations
Government
establishes
products,
locations and
prices
Communist
countries like
Cuba and
former USSR

21. Efficiency and Production
Possibilities Frontier
PPF model
Shows possible combinations of 2 types of goods
that can be produced when available resources are
used fully and efficiently
Figure 2.1
Inefficient and unattainable production
Point I and U on the curve
Shape of the PPF
Any movement along PPF involves giving up
something
22. Production Possibilities
Frontier – PPF Figure 2.1
A through F are
attainable
I represents
inefficient use of
resources
U represents
unattainable
combinations
23. Efficiency and Production
Possibilities Frontier
The resources in an economy are not all perfectly
adaptable
Law of increasing opportunity cost – each additional
increment of one good requires the economy to give up
larger increments of other good
The PPF has a bowed-out shape due to the law of
increasing opportunity cost
24. Shifts in the PPF
Economic Growth – an expansion in the economies
ability to produce
Changes in resource availability
Increase (more labor) – PPF shifts outward
Decrease (less resources) – PPF shifts inward
Increases in stock of capital goods
Technological change
25. Shifts in the PPF
Increase in available resources Decrease in available resources
