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.

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.
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.
2. To combat the economic hardship spurred by the
Great Depression, the newly-inaugurated President
Franklin D. Roosevelt created a series of programs,
projects, and regulations known as the New Deal. The
Works Progress Administration (WPA) was one such
program: It was intended to combat unemployment by
implementing infrastructure and arts projects.
On May 6, 1935, Roosevelt established the WPA with
an executive order.

3. By the time the WPA was established,
the unemployment rate of the United
States was already at 20 percent. The
program, designed to provide relief
for the unemployed, directly hired
men, women, and youths as part of
the National Youth Administration.
More than 3.3 million Americans
worked for the WPA at the height of
the program in 1938.
4. Later, in 1939, the WPA was renamed the Work
Projects Administration. As a result of this shift,
the WPA employed mostly unskilled men to carry
out infrastructure projects. The newly employed
Americans worked to erect more than 29,000 new
bridges, more than 4,000 new school buildings,
150 airfields, and 130 new hospitals. In addition to
building thousands of miles of new storm drains,
sanitary sewer lines, and paved roads, the
program also planted 24 million trees.

5. The WPA not only focused on infrastructure
projects, but also implemented programs that
collectively became known as Federal Project
Number One. With these programs, Roosevelt
intended to help artists find work and also
inspire the general population during the time
of economic hardship. As a result, these
programs employed musicians, artists, actors,
and writers to create and perform. At the
height of its program, 5,300 visual artists and
other arts professionals were employed.
6. Despite the widespread assistance of
Federal One, only $27 million of the nearly
$5 billion designated for WPA programs
went to the arts. The programs founded
more than 100 community arts centers
throughout the United States, and also led
to the later establishment of the National
Foundation of the Arts.
7. Due to Roosevelt’s promise of a New
Deal for everyone, the WPA worked to
employ women and African Americans
as well. Despite some inequities,
approximately 350,000 African
Americans were employed in 1935 and
comprised 15 percent of WPA’s total
workforce. Federal Music and Theatre
projects also supported musicians and
actors of color.
8. Women were employed, for the
most part, as librarians and
seamstresses and also found work
in gardening, clerical jobs, and
canning. Women engaged in
sewing work comprised
approximately seven percent of
the WPA national workforce.
CLIMATE CHANGE - 3
9. Due to weapon production and
preparation for World War II, relief
from the WPA was deemed no longer
necessary, and in 1943, the program
shut down. When the WPA ended, the
national unemployment dipped below
two percent. While the WPA is no
longer in place, it has left a legacy of
renowned artists and well-designed
buildings and structures that still
remain in use today.
