1) The document proposes an online portal that connects volunteers with NGOs to enhance primary education in India. It aims to address shortages in basic services and the millions of uneducated children.
2) The key aspect of the portal is an "Impact Score" that tracks classes volunteers take, student feedback, and other metrics to incentivize volunteerism. Volunteers and NGOs can register and collaborate through video classrooms.
3) Funding models include leveraging corporate social responsibility programs, redeeming Impact Scores at retailers, and raising capital from social venture funds. The goal is to scale volunteer mentorship across fields and sustainably educate millions of children through partnerships with educators, corporations, and the

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. The Problem
We have millions of working class individuals who teach in various
NGOs, and we have another set of million individuals like them who
don’t but want to.We have identified that the problem of education,
the disparity can be equated if there’s an efficient way to connect the
children in NGOs to the people working in corporates, etc.
So the big question is, what is hampering this possible connection?
1) Lack of motivation and incentives for volunteers.
2) Existing portals are not transparent and easy to find requirements
that match skill set.
3) NGOs need to maintain a stream of credible and loyal volunteers.
6. Product Description
CoreValue Proposition - Creating a social impact by promoting volunteerism
through gamification
1) Online portal for connecting interested volunteers with NGOs and
incentivizing the entire process by bringing a new quantifiable social
value to volunteerism –The Impact Score.
2) A volunteer will register on the portal, and so will the NGO.
Volunteers NGOs
Register on the portal
Collaborate via
Video Classroom
8. Competition and
Differentiation
There are many organisations in the world who do volunteer match like
iVolunteer in India, dogoodvolunteer in Malaysia andVolunteerMatch in USA.
But, we standout from others as our aim is to make a social network with a
focus on incentivizing volunteerism which hasn't been tried before.
Attaching the impact score to this process of collaboration is where the crux of
the idea lies.We have a whole lot of ideas to make this social network of
volunteers an exciting and informative hub.
Quora is a good example where Credits given are crowd sourced.This ensures
that quality answers are rewarded. Now those Credits are of no use outside
Quora, but that acts as an incentive for me write for them
9. Implementation
1) A major survey to identify all the registered NGOs, basically, a
census of the NGOs.This is already carried out by the Government.
2) Identification of NGOs with projectors for the implementation of
video classroom. Supplying projectors to some quality NGOs.
3) Portal creation by the IT department of India.The database to be
made available by the Government
4) Asking the MNCs to supply volunteers under the CSR scheme of the
company.This will also make the 80G tax benefit a more
transparent scheme and fraud will reduce.
5) Once the volunteers and NGOs are registered on the portal, they’ll
collaborate to initiate the video classes via Skype/other tools.
6) Major funding involves IT infrastructure and doesn’t have much
running costs.
10. Finance Model
1) CSR of MNCs – track their progress, Impact Score as a measure to
create competition among MNCs. Data can be used by Government
too..
2) Impact Score can be redeemed by the volunteers at retail stores, like
Sodexo coupons.
3) Register as a private company and raise capital via social venture
capital and funds.
4) A paid Impact Score report.
11. Impact
1) The impact will be directly proportional to the number of volunteers.
More the volunteers, more children will get quality education by the
hands of well-educated professionals. We have millions of children who
don’t go to schools due to lack of quality teachers, so this provides a
balance.
2) Concept can be extended to other fields where mentorship is needed,
not only education. Building a brand around this to make the Impact
Score, which measures your social impact, like the Klout Score, which
shows your influence across social networks.
3) The corporates are not going anywhere for a long time, and we millions
of children to educate, so sustainability is something which clearly
exists.
4) The Education ministry will keep a watch over what is being taught by
the help of Government school teacher who may visit for surprise
checks.
