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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

3. Relative Clauses
When we begin to learn English, we learn very basic
sentences. For example:
The girl is wearing glasses. Do you know the girl?
But, we can create more advanced sentences
using relative clauses.
The girl appears in both sentences, so we can use a relative
clause to make one sentence. Instead of repeating
the girl, we can replace the girl with who.
Do you know the girl who is wearing glasses?
This is a relative clause!
4. Relative Clauses
A relative clause or adjective clause can be used to join
two sentences or to give more information about something.
The girl is wearing glasses. Do you know the girl?
Do you know the girl who is wearing glasses?
Here, the relative clause provides information about the
noun, the girl.
We call it an adjective clause because just like an adjective it
gives information about a noun.
5. Here are some more relative clauses
Can you find: …the woman who is
applying sunscreen?
…the boy who is
building a snowman?
…the man who is
wearing three
watches?
…the animal that is
playing the guitar?
…the man who is
taking a nap?
Notice that we use who when we are describing people and
that when we are describing things.
6. Making a relative clause
Let’s combine these two sentences using a relative clause.
The man is tired. He has been working all day.
First, replace the pronoun he with the relative pronoun
who, because this is describing a person.
The man is tired. who has been working all day.
Now, we must put the relative clause after the noun it describes (the man).
The man who has been working all day is tired.
7. Relative pronouns and relative adverbs
Relative clauses are introduced by a relative pronoun, such
as who, that, whose, or a relative adverb, such as when,
where, why. The clauses always contain a verb.
A relative clause can be used to describe
a subject or an object.
Thomas ate the cake.
subject object
Thomas ate the cake that was on the table.
The relative clause is describing the object of the
sentence, the cake.
8. Relative pronouns and relative adverbs
The relative clause is describing the subject of the
sentence, Thomas.
Here, the relative clause describes the subject of the
sentence.
Thomas ate the cake.
subject object
Thomas, who was really hungry, ate the cake.
9. A rule for relative clauses
A relative clause always follows the noun it modifies.
Students who ask questions learn a lot more.
Which students learn more? Students who ask questions.
She wore the dress that I bought for her.
Which dress did she wear? The dress that I bought for her
10. Let’s learn some relative pronouns!
Who is used to describe people.
The man who is standing at the bus stop is my father.
That and which are used to describe things.
In general, that is preferred in North American English.
The book that is on the table belongs to me.
The book, which we talked about, is on sale this week.
Sometimes we also use that to describe people.
This is more informal.
The man that is standing at the bus stop is my father.
11. Time to practice
Can you combine the two sentences using a relative clause
with who or that? More than one answer may be possible.
1. I met a woman. She is a professor at the local university.
I met a woman who is a professor at the local university.
2. We bought a house. It is 100 years old.
3. She joined a gym. It is near her house.
4. The taxi driver was really nice. He drove me to the
airport.
5. We watched a movie. The movie was about a murder.

6. A fashion designer is a person .
7. An athlete is a person .
8. A mechanic is a person .
9. A pilot is a person .
10. A civil engineer is a person .
13. Who am I?
Read each scenario and guess the answer.
Use a relative clause in your answer.
11. I am a person who sells fruits and
vegetables.
12. I am a person who sells meat
products.
13. I am a person who takes care of sick
animals.
14. I am a person who grows food and
raises animals on farms.
