In December 2014 the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) published, ‘Sustainable development in higher education - HEFCE’s role to date and a framework for its future actions’, outlining some of the ways higher education can contribute to sustainable development. The document included a framework for HEFCE’s support for the sector, whilst encompassing their earlier policy statements on sustainable development and carbon reduction. This will also have a bearing on future funding.
Key points from the document:
Protecting and enhancing quality of life for current and future generations is central to sustainable development. There are social, environmental and economic dimensions to this, and the benefits and the challenges are considerable.
Higher education is working to address these challenges from a unique position in society. Its institutions can play a substantial role through teaching and research, through influence on staff and students, through business operations, and through the sustainability of their campuses. We want sustainable development to be central to higher education.
In 2010, HEFCE, Universities UK and GuildHE demonstrated co-leadership by publishing carbon reduction targets for higher education in England. These targets were based on extensive research and wide consultation. The overall sector target is reduction of Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 34 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050, against a 1990 baseline.
The higher education sector has demonstrated strong commitment to these targets, with each higher education institution producing a carbon management plans which move the sector substantially towards the afore mentioned targets. Research published by HEFCE in 2010 showed that for the 45 universities with data for both years, emissions per full-time equivalent student were on average 39 per cent lower in 2005 than in 1990.
Institutions have risen to the challenge of reducing environmental impacts by setting themselves stretching targets for carbon reduction. They have made significant investments and altered their ways of working, monitoring their progress with increasingly sophisticated systems whilst disseminating good practice and helping institutions learn from each other.
Although these achievements are creditable, more needs to be done if the sector’s contribution to internationally agreed target carbon reductions is to be achieved.
Sustainable Education provided the platform for discussion and dissemination of good practice whilst also highlighting the tools and systems in place to ensure your institution adheres to carbon reduction targets and becomes economically and environmentally sustainable.

Behaviour Change – it’s not all about turning off the lightsEMEX
In principle most people think saving energy is a good idea. But things get in the way – budgets, timelines and knowledge to name a few. UCL’s sustainability team have used a £1.2 billion estate investment programme to embed energy saving in organisational processes, approvals and contracts, making energy efficiency a core requirement and not a ‘nice to have’. Joanna will explain how she has used rigorous governance and effective relationship building to shift attitudes across the institution, with engineers, maintenance staff, lab managers and architects all considering energy in their day to day activities and suggesting new initiatives to reduce consumption.
A UNESCO World Conference on ESD side event on Green Skills for a Blue Economy. Only 1,000 invited people (including 70 ministers plus their delegations) attended of which a small number gave presentations (this side event was selected as one of only 25 worldwide from out of any university and international organisation linked to ESD).
Qin Ying (Ally) worked with Alcatel-Lucent Shanghai Bell for over fourteen years, with a focus on marketing development experience. Ally is also very fond of kids, and managed to turn her interests and passion into a professional career by joining the "Netspring Green IT Classroom” program as the Project Manager and Marketing Manager in early 2013. Ally graduated from the Shanghai University with a major in Computer Science. She also has an educational background in Pre-school Education and Applied Psychology (Marketing). Through this talk Ally will talk about how her organization, Netspring, is turning electronic waste (mainly computers) as a useful resource to impart education to underprivileged kids in various parts of China.

Global Trends in Organisational Learning & Developments 2014eUniversity
Globally oranisations are increasingly finding out that, traditional learning departments are often inefficient and expensive.
Research shows that only about one third of the total training spent goes into actual learning delivery, the rest is often spent on administrative and other indirect costs.
Initially organisations adopted web based learning because of its cost effectiveness & efficiency. However over time these companies realized that eLearning is not only more efficient, it make learning outcome more effective.
Learners can now complete the training at their own time, pace & place.

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.
