Editing involves organizing film footage and using techniques like continuity, non-continuity, cutting, and transitions to craft a coherent narrative for the audience. Some key techniques include shot/reverse shot, eyeline match, graphic match, jump cuts, cross cutting, action match, parallel editing, and cutaways. The editor aims to effectively communicate the story through these various editing strategies.
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

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.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

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.
2. What is editing?
Editing is how a film maker puts together a piece of work by cutting/cuts/transitions
and special effects.
They do this in order to communicate a narrative to an audience.
The audience is a non-active participant who understand a narrative based off the
editing.
3. Continuity
Continuity- The process of cutting used to maintain continuous narrative action.
Benefits:
The narrative has structure
The shot sequences flow
Easier to watch the film
4. Non-Continuity
This is when shots are mismatched, this is done to disrupt the impression of time
and space.
This disturbs the illusion of reality in the film by cutting certain parts included.
An example used from this is flashbacks
5. Cutting
Shot/reverse shot - is a film technique where one character is shown looking at
another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first
character, because the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the
viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
An example of shot/reverse shot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLkUHZ1qips
6. Eyeline match
An eyeline match is a film editing technique commonly associated with continuity
editing. Eyeline refers to the path of the looking eye and is similar to the
shot/reverse shot.
It is based on the audience wanting to view what the character on screen is
viewing, the camera starts on the character looking at something the audience
cannot see the camera then cuts to the object they are looking at.
An example of Eyeline match:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77KP_uWMrXI
7. Graphic match
The term graphic match is one of the many editing techniques used to continuously transition two successive shots.This
creates a cut between two shots that juxtapose their graphically similar images.
8. Jump cut
A jump cut is a cut in film editing where two shots of the same subject are taken
from camera positions that slightly vary.
This type of edit gives the effect of jumping forward in time.
Continuity editing uses a guideline called the “30 degree rule” to avoid jump cuts.
9. Cross cutting
Cross cutting is when you have completed a series of scenes and sequences and
you re order them to create a drama that goes forward and backward in time.
This is important as for example in films it can show a moment that happened in the
past, for example flashbacks.
We can also move the drama forward in time which can be broken up to enhance
tension or the narrative.
10. Action Match
Action match is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to
another shot portraying the action of the subject in the first shot.
It is important to remember that this is not a graphic match or match cut, it portrays
a continuous sense of the same action rather than matching two seperate things.
An example of Action match:

11. Parallel editing
Parallel editing involves cutting between two or more separate scenes that are
happening at the same time in the story.
This means that the different storylines unfold in parallel (at the same time but at
different locations)
An example of parallel editing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_I82117oAw
12. Cutaway
A cutaway is video scenes that cut away to relevant footage or images.
It is often is used in documentaries or in film when a vital piece of information is
needed to show the audience.
Usually the dialogue or voice will continue during the cutaway.
It is used to have variety in the visuals.
13. Transitions
In any piece of film, editors use different types of transitions to move from one clip
to another.
14. Types of transitions
-Dissolve: a gradual fade from one shot to the next is known as a dissolve.
-Fade-in
-Fade-out
-Wipe: a wipe is a very dated form of transition that is not often adopted in modern film making.
-Superimposition: is the placement of one thing over another typically so that both are still evident.
-Long Take
-Short take
-Slow motion
-Ellipsis: is a narrative device and the most basic idea in film editing. It concerns the omission of a section of the story that is either obvious enough for the public to fill in or concealed for a narrative purpose such as suspense or mystery.
-Expansion of time:when you expand time in a video you are making the duration of the sequence longer than real time.
-Post production: the editing stage, where material is manipulated using software and transformed into a finished media product.
-Visual effects
