Using archival photographs from Liverpool John Moores University's special collections, the researcher led an activity that stimulated memories in participants. The activity, called "Our Day Out," displayed photographs from the Keith Medley Archive in an exhibition at the Museum of Liverpool. The event provided benefits to participants, students, the university, and the public. Some challenges included participation levels, training volunteers, and locating suitable images from the archives. The researcher welcomed questions and comments.

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.

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.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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 Keith Medley photographic archive, mainly a large collection of glass plate negatives depicting the people and local events in Liverpool and Merseyside from the 1960s to the 1980s, is held at Liverpool John Moores University Special Collections and Archives. Senior lecturer Ian Bradley from the Liverpool Screen School at LJMU secured a small Heritage Lottery grant to fund a community project using photographs of days out, fun fairs, beach scenes and holidays in the region. Working with local groups such as Age Concern, Ian is using the selected images to start discussions with elderly people about their family memories of days out. LJMU students have been trained in oral history techniques to help record the stories, and have helped participants create print and digital postcards from their own holiday photographs.
An exhibition at the Museum of Liverpool in autumn 2014 will show the work created and help publicise the existence of the Keith Medley Archive to a wider public. The project draws on, and will add to, the existing good practice in the sector using archival materials with elderly people and there are plans to build on this work in the future at LJMU.
This panel will consider how collections (whether belonging to archives, museums, or libraries) can be physically combined and presented to wider society whether through joint research projects, exhibitions or events. What are the benefits of inter-disciplinary, cross-sector curation, what are the challenges?
Panel Chair: Sue Worrall, Cadbury Research Library
Overview of collections
Collection strategy
Outreach – e.g. Heritage Open Days, Explore Your Archive
Keith Medley was a commercial and press photographer – after WW2 (worked in Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment in RAF) set up in Wallasey with RAF colleague Bob Bird – became sole owner in 1964.
Donated in 2009 by Jon Medley (previously held in out building and basement by lady who ran local history society – sand!!)
Consists of c. 30,000 (mainly) glass plate negatives
Very few prints, not physically arranged in any kind of order, needs repackaging and conservation in some cases, but we do have the registers
Project led by Ian Bradley at screen school – HLF small grant (£5,000) – to work with the community to capture memories of family days out, using archival photographs to stimulate memory
The Poppy Centre (Age Concern) & Kensington Fields Community Association
Students in media production – were paid through workbank – 2nd years, had done ‘vox pop’ style interviews before
Training – 3 sessions by Stephen Kelly from the Oral History Society
Memory packs assembled for initial workshops
List subjects of photographs
Workshops encouraged personal recollection and lively debate about family outings to the seaside.
Recorded & used to inform further interview topics. -> one to one interviews in front of camera
Postcards for each participant in one to one interviews – includes excerpt from interview & QR code to get to full interview
Participants given copies to send to family & friends.
Website developed as part of the project – will have video on it when it’s ready
Memories captured online too – can submit your memories
Exhibition – prints from collection (modern prints), large version of postcards, display of video, launch event 12th November. On until September 2015
What’s next?
HLF bid for collection as a whole – to build on this and a previous exhibition at Walker of portraits
more community work from LJMU
Ian hoping to take this project into schools to discuss their experiences in relation to the current participants.
Participants
- sharing their memories is a very positive exercise, psychologically beneficial, enjoyable. Exhibition means they feel part of something, postcards mean they have something tangible to take away.
Students
- additional training on interview techniques, specifically linked to oral history interviews. Interacting with people they might not normally – very good experience for their future careers
LJMU
- spreads the word about the collection, gets the images out there, with not much funding.
- prints to add to the collection, techniques learned
Wider public
- exhibition will open people’s minds to the possibilities of archives, and help them to engage with the sources and the memories captured.
- awareness of LJMU Archives
Participation
- getting groups to participate, then individuals willing to be interviewed 1to1
- ‘political’ issues – Bird problem
Training
- for students and us (paid for from project money), paid them to ensure retention and because it was not part of their course, emphasised benefits of this kind of additional work to them
Finding images!
- collection not catalogued or sorted, although we have registers finding the actual negative could be a challenge, conservation needs and specialist digitisation
