The document provides information about conducting literature searches for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. It discusses search foundations, databases, constructing effective searches using keywords and controlled vocabularies, Boolean logic, common search techniques, and standards for reporting search methodology. The goal of the search is to identify every relevant study on the topic to comprehensively capture available data for analysis and allow reproducibility. Effective searches require breaking topics into components, using synonyms and related terms, and searching multiple databases which can result in thousands of results.

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.
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.

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.
7. Why search?
A high-quality lit search is essential for a successful
meta-analysis
It is from the search results that data is gathered for
analysis
Failure to locate important studies can significantly
affect results
Remember the goal is to capture every relevant study
Important to report search so your methodology can
be reproduced
8. What to expect?
Expect 1000s of results
Expect to search multiple databases
Ovid, EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, etc.
Expect the search process to take awhile
Expect to publish search strategy and search
methodology
Expect to consult a professional with search
expertise (health sciences librarian)
9. Constructing Effective
Searches
Break topic into key components
Do not search in full sentences
Example:
If a patient has caries, do composites (compared to
amalgams) have an increased risk of marginal breakdown?

Editor's Notes
Today we’ll be talking about two specific points on the systematic review continuum:
The protocol, where you say what you’re planning to do for the SR
The methods (presenting results), where you say what you did.
To talk about these two points, we need to talk about the overall process/methodology of systematic reviews so we’ll touch briefly on all points indicated
