How Much Does It Cost To Study In Ireland?LinaLuice
Students who want to study in Ireland need to have sufficient information to make sound decisions.
Whenever you want to study abroad, you need to dig into details about the place, including the cost of living, cost of studying, accommodation cost, scholarships, and various other details.
Moving to a different country to study is difficult, so one needs to gather as much information as possible.
If you are aiming to take admitted to a particular university, you need to figure out the cost of studying there, the criteria to get admission, etc.

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.

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.

George Watley - Northampton University - Cost-Effectiveness of Virtual Schooling
1. George Watley
University of Northampton
george.watley@northampton.ac.uk
2. •The overwhelming majority of providers charge
between £236-375 per GCSE and £280-540 per A-level.
•Such figures do not include examination costs.
•Some providers fall outside these parameters however.
3. •SCHOLAR in Scotland
•Online College of Art and Design charging £600 for
GCSEs and £2500 for A-levels
•Bright Futures charging £1595-2495 per AS/A2
completed in one year, including examination fees for
one sitting at their Central London centre.
4. For the purposes of comparing funding for traditional
schools in comparison to virtual learning provision 3
quoted figures for the 2009-2010 academic year will be
used, the latest figures available.
These figures are £7207/pupil per year for a secondary
school in Lambeth, £6199/pupil per year, the average
for England in 2009-2010, as well as £5021/pupil which
is the average for a school with low levels of
deprivation outside of London.
5. Comparative figures to be used will be:
Average secondary school in Lambeth:
£7207*4=£28828
Average English secondary school:
£6199*4=£24796
Average English school with low-deprivation:
£5,021*4=£20084
6. Three hypothetical students will be used to provide some
insight in comparing costs for teaching virtual in
comparison with traditional students :
Bare minimum Jane: 6 GCSEs (EBacc subjects) and 3 A-levels (no maths/sciences)
6 GCSEs: (£236-375)*6=£1416-2250
Exam fees for GCSEs: £50*6=£300
3 A-levels: (£280-530)*3=£840-1590
Exam fees for A-levels: £50*3=£150
Total estimated cost range: £2706-4290
Average Joe: 8 GCSEs and 3 A-levels (one math or science)
8 GCSEs: (£236-375)*8=£1888-3000
Exam fees for GCSEs: £50*8=£400
2 A-levels: (£280-495)*2=£560-990
Exam fees for 2 A-levels: £50*2=£100
Math or Science A-level: £350-540
Exam fees for math or science A-level: £250-600
Total estimated cost range: £3548-5630
Highly ambitious Joanne: 10 GCSEs and 4 A-levels (including biology and mathematics)
10 GCSEs: (£236-375)*10=£2360-3750
Exam fees for GCSEs: £50*10=£500
2 A-levels: (£280-495)*2=£560-990
Exam fees for 2 A-levels: £50*2=£100
2 Math or Science A-levels: (£350-540)*2=£700-1080
Exam fees for math or science A-levels: £500-1200
Total estimated cost range: £4720-7620
7. •A potential savings of 62 to 91 percent can be obtained
based on the costs for teaching virtual students in
comparison with traditional schools based on current
funding models!
•Such potential e-learning savings could be applied
across Europe, as per pupil education spending in 12
countries is +/- 15 percent of UK spending, including
Germany, France, Spain, the
Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
8. •Virtual learning providers do not generally provide
information about numbers of students in their
programmes
•Overall, there is extremely limited information about
the quality of virtual learning provision (SCHOLAR is
an exception)
•Similarly, there is no easily obtainable information in
relation to the quality of virtual learning provision
overall (SCHOLAR is also an exception in this regard)
9. •Most GCSE and A-level virtual learning provision is offered
within a relatively narrow cost spectrum
•The quality of virtual learning provision overall in Britain is
unknown at present
•SCHOLAR could provide a glimpse into the potential benefits of
virtual learning provision, particularly because they claim both
higher attainment and lower costs.
•International implications for cost savings could be
greater, particularly for countries in which governmental
educational authorities are totally responsible for marking
examinations.
•In Britain, cost savings could be greater if schools, local
governments and/or the national government developed
examination centres and virtual learning platforms and virtual
educational materials en masse, reducing costs through
economies of scale.
