Authentic Learning - Teaching Methods that Engage StudentsTodd_Stanley
Authentic learning engages students and makes them more connected to what they are learning. This is especially pertinent with gifted students who are more likely to become bored with what is going on in the classroom and shutting down as a result.

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.

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.

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.

8. Vignettes
We use the term ‘vignette’ to refer to a short segment of a screencast
covering a critical concept which may be augmented by an interactive
component introduced during the editing process.
9. Student comments on Faculty
Authored Vignettes
“Staff vignettes are great revision tools
because they are recorded well and the
information is clear and concise!”
“Good revision tool because if you haven't
completely understood something in the
lecture or when revising then you can go to
that place in the vignette and listen to the
explanation again!”
“All lecturers should do it”
“Would be more effective if lectures were
recorded as vignettes that are only 5 minutes
long”

22. Our model of lecture flipping
Students are strongly encouraged to watch a screencast
recording of the (previous year’s) lecture the flipped lecture
is replacing.
They attend the timetabled teaching slot and are engaged in
as interactive and as ‘challenging’ a session as the ‘lecturer’
can muster using every audience participation device at
their disposal.
24. Which are genuine student evaluation
comments?
1. A lot of the descriptive chemistry was very dry and essentially boring. It is hard to teach this kind of
material but the 'flipped lectures' seemed to combat this.
2. I think the 'flipped' lectures run by Dr. Lancaster were a really good idea and I felt more engaged in the
module.
3. I appreciated Dr Lancaster's efforts to make the lectures interesting and engaging in a modern way. The
'flipped' lectures were very successful.
4. I really enjoyed the flipped lectures and find that revising that material is much easier.
5. The flipped-lectures are a definite step in the right direction, away from archaic lectures with little or no
mental stimulus, towards a more interactive learning experience that maximises learning outcome!
6. They were good fun as it was nice to have interaction with the lecture as opposed to just being talked
at, it was also nice having knowledge of what you were talking about as we had already gone through the
material!
7. I think the flipped lectures were a really good idea because it was a more interactive way to engage
students into learning, rather than the repetitive routine of having to listen to the lecturer work through a
PowerPoint presentation for an hour.
25. How should you react if you get a spread of
answers?
1. Move on.
2. Shrug, look disapproving and
move on.
3. Refer them to the notes and
move on.
4. Repeat your original explanation
and move on.
5. Repeat your original explanation
and poll again.
6. Invite the students to find
someone who disagrees with
them, discuss it and then poll
again.
