How do you transform a team who are struggling to keep up with the demands of providing a busy and demanding service? How do you address problems like high sickness rates and low morale? This session will describe the transformation of a team who found themselves under so much pressure that it led to problems with attendance and motivation. Working with colleagues from inside and outside the institution who provided expertise, support and coping mechanisms, the team’s managers worked with the team themselves to turn things around, and are now functioning as a truly collaborative, happy and effective group. The session will describe the techniques and strategies that were used to deliver this change, and how the team themselves contributed not only to the transformation, but to identifying how they had achieved it, and what they were doing differently in order to be successful and enjoy their jobs.
Adaptive Learning – the application of computer science, big data and machine learning techniques, combined with state-of-the-art pedagogy – has enabled the creation of new learning systems that adapt to the needs of each and every learner. Adaptive learning creates at scale – and at low cost – the experience of a personal tutor, guaranteeing proficiency while dramatically reducing time spent learning, returning thousands of hours of productive time back to the business.
Fortunately, it is easy to make the move to adaptive learning. In this session, we explore what is adaptive learning, how it works and the benefits of transforming your learner experience for the business, the learner and the training function.

When an organisation moves to a 70-20-10 learning model they often need to rethink how learning content is produced. Often, a content curation approach is taken. Content curation can be a great way to support learning in the workplace – but effective and engaging content curation is often harder to implement than you might expect.
This webinar:
- explored different ways content curation can be used effectively in learning and capability development programs
- focused on a content curation case study for general practice doctors in training and the lessons learned from that project.

Driving student outcomes and success: What’s next for the retention pilot pro...LearningandTeaching
As part of the Navitas 2020 Strategic Project on Retention, Learning and Teaching Services has been investigating and evaluating current practice both within our colleges and externally, developing a Retention Driver Tree to identify the activities that make a difference to the student experience.
In a recent webinar, Maria Spies and Suneeti Rekhari unpacked retention strategies and explored deeper into the impact of current retention pilots at Deakin and La Trobe Colleges.
Maria Spies outlined the Retention Driver Tree and the factors contributing to student experience and success. Suneeti Rekhari explained the processes used to plan, implement and evaluate the retention interventions, and the early indicators and outcomes emerging from the Colleges. Through this presentation, they discussed what these initial findings mean for the Retention Driver Tree and the next steps in addressing retention.
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.
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.
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.

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

Six Key Capabilities of Effective PD for BYOD
Key capabilities
10. PD with a purpose
Emphasising the benefit and link to research. Show how it is
improving classroom practice.
11. Strong foundations
Not just infrastructure. Staff may have a wide range of concerns
and needs – these must be addressed.
12. Time to reflect
Give staff time to and the opportunity to openly reflect on and
evaluate their practice. As well as share ideas and give feedback.
13. Think ahead
Incorporate digital citizenship into the curriculum. Be willing to
revise your policies and PD programme as you go.
14. Early adopters
Showcase your superstars. Give them freedom to innovate and
share good practice with the rest of the staff.
15. Focus
Implement a PD programme that keeps student outcomes at
the core. Focus on teaching and learning.
16. PD strategies that work
Professional learning circles
One-on-one coaching
Student and staff voice
PD in a classroom context

Our experience at Rangi has been that staff need support.Personalised approach to PD. No one size fits all – especially when it comes to e-learning.Both whole school AND one on one.PD Lead Group which includes:- Thinking Differentiated Instruction Effective practice E-learningMention rubrics and how its linked to appraisal. The rubric is designed to assist staff in determining their own needs for professional development.
How PD evolves from just a passive “whole school sitdown and listen” to:- PLCs mean support and dialogue In department – staff like it when they can relate it to their subjects and planning. One on one ongoing support for individuals Not explicitly appraisal relatedTeaching as inquiry as a central idea to this process.
Teaching as inquiry as a central idea to this process.Moving from PD being passive to PD being an every day part of their practice.Opportunity for genuine reflection.For BYOD this is important – gives teachers the opportunity to trial things and work with appropriate goals.Have to keep coming back to it and be comfortable taking risks.Any questions on the model?What we learned…. 7 dimensions of successful PD
Emphasising the benefit and link to research. Show how it is improving classroom practice.People doubt BYOD. There is clear evidence that supports BYOD in schools – make this clear and available to staff.Show classroom context wherever you can.Share best practices from other schools. Ask key questions. Learn from their successes and failures.This also means getting buy-in from the community.
Staff may have a wide range of concerns and needs. Effective PD must meet their needs and address their concerns.BEFORE you begin – work out what training and infrastructure your school needs.Resources, resources, resources. Make these easily accessible to staff. How to use those resources. Don’t be afraid to go back to stuff.Having policy in place before getting started with the PD. Otherwise it can swamp the PD.Concerns, questions from staff and community and infrastrucrre in place BEFORE launch.
Give staff time to and the opportunity to openly reflect on and evaluate their practice. As well as share ideas and give feedback.Teaching as Inquiry, 15 minute forums etc – encourage sharing and professional dialogue between collagues. (With structure)Staff need to understand that they don’t need to know everything about technology. You are not tech support – don’t act like it.
Incorporate digital citizenship into the curriculum. Be willing to revise your policies and PD programme as you go.Has to fit your own context. BYOD is not a one size fits all. Be willing to revise your policies and programme.Your community might have specific needs or concerns – address those.Establish effective use early on.Being prescriptive is limiting – technology will change - so will learners – so will schools.
For many in the room – this is you!This allows you to start small – use your pioneers to test your programme.Recognize that not everyone is.When they are being showcased – come at it from entry level.
Why you do it AND how you do it. Don’t engage in policy discussion during PD – that’s a conversation for IT strategists or SMT.
PMI – handouts. 10 mins – get a bit of feedback. Leave the room with this and a copy of the Digital Strategy.
