The document proposes adding exercise services to the open-source e-learning platform Moodle in order to benefit higher education. It begins with an introduction to e-learning and a comparative study of features of different e-learning tools. It then introduces a model for implementing exercise services within Moodle, with four main components: a browser for students, teachers and administrators to access the system; a server hosting Moodle modules and exercise services; a login/registration page; and additional databases to store exercise-related data. The goal is to increase student confidence and provide flexible access to exercises.
Some of the Department of Defense (DOD) services have had negative experiences when attempting to share SCORM content packages between their various LMS implementations primarily due to differences with both user interfaces and the Application Programming Interface (API) Implementation. The vision of plug-n-play interoperability of learning content is usually achieved only after several additional hours of modifying the content to work in a particular LMS implementation. In order to achieve adoption on a global scale, SCORM 2.0 must have a strategy to improve interoperability by standardizing the user interface controls in further support of flexibility, usability, accessibility, and durability. This paper provides a background and summary of the Navy's successes with extending the SCORM to support standardized user interface options, and further proposes creating or incorporating a new user interface interoperability specification and a recommendation for supplying a standardized API Implementation as part of the Core SCORM.

An online discussion board called the Collab2learn Discussion Board (DB)
enables participants’ to learn collaboratively within groups. Groups are limited in using
different feedback formats; either textual or iconic. 57 participants from an institute of
higher learning tested Collab2learn DB usability. System Usability Scale (SUS) was used to
measure Collab2learn DB usability. Its average scores were compared between two
different feedback formats (textual and iconic). Results indicated Collab2learn DB is a
usable online discussion board however further improvements need to be done especially in
the prototype’s functionalities integration and consistency.

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.
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.

14. 6. INTRODUCING EXERCISE SERVICES TO
E-LEARNING (MOODLE)
Moodle as suitable e-learning software for this study
Using exercise services in e-learning (through Moodle)
increases student confidence before exams.
The proposed system also gives easy access to the
teacher and the student outside official working hours, as
well as reducing the administrative burden of the
curriculum through the exploitation of the means and tools.

Administrator has the ability to use almost all the functions on
the system, such as add or remove student, lecturer and
section etc
Lecturer who can access specific functions of administration,
such as add new section to existing module
Student who can browse, answer the exercises, and update 16

(Administrator, Teacher and Student)
20. 6.2 SERVER
Important component in our model which has modules
and exercise services in Moodle.
The proposed model offers users a list of modules, and
allows them to choose a module that meets their needs
Then, the model directs the users to the exercise page,
and allows them to begin the training exercise.
20
21. 6.3 LOGIN/REGISTER
The browser can log in as normal but if they do not have
a username and password, then the system directs them
to register before gaining access
The system allows students to update and check their
personal information including their password.
Teachers cannot register themselves; the only person
who can add teachers is the administrator.
21
23. 6.4 DATABASES
Moodle has a large database (approximately 200
tables)
Our system should only add new tables for exercise
activities and these are purely related to exam
exercises
We suggest adding the minimum of three tables:
1. Exercise table,
2. Question table and 23
3. Answer table.
24. 7. CONCLUSION
This study is aimed at adding to the new e-learning
technology that is sweeping through academic institutions.
This exercises service is a means of assessing the
knowledge acquired by a student from a module. The
implementation of such exercises online will become a vital
aspect in the education process.
