European countries expanded their colonial empires between 1870 and 1914, mainly in Africa and Asia. There were several factors driving this imperial expansion. European countries had advanced economies, powerful armies, and new technologies that allowed them to take over territories without organized states. They also faced economic pressures at home to find new lands, resources, and markets abroad to absorb surplus populations and goods. Powerful figures like British businessman Cecil Rhodes advocated for imperialism as a solution to issues like unemployment and overpopulation in European countries. Europe's growing technological advantages, industrial production capacity, and populations led them to seek new areas for investment and trade, fueling the age of global imperialism.

CAMBRIDGE AS HISTORY: INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AS A REASON FOR SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA. Contains: reasons for scramble for Africa, setting the stage, ideological motivations, competition, industrialisation, Africa's raw materials, the vast resources, futile military resistance, and forces driving imperialism.
From the late 19th century onwards Industrial powers began to use their advanced economies, armies and technology to take over territories with no state organisation.
Between 1870 and 1914 they created huge colonial empires in Africa, Asia and Oceania.
CAMBRIDGE AS HISTORY: SCRAMBLE FOR AFRICA. Paper 2, contains: partition for Africa, colonial imperialism, Berlin conference, the battle for Ethiopia, scramble for economic reasons, Africa the open market for trade, the need for raw materials, capital investment, imperialism vs. corporatism, scramble for geopolitical reasons, the rivalries, the strategic purpose, scramble for nationalistic reasons, scramble for liberal reasons, heart of darkness.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2. WHY WAS THERE IMPERIAL EXPANSION?
• European countries began to use their advanced
economies, armies and technology to take over
territories with no state organisation. Between 1870 and
1914, they created colonial empires, mainly in Africa
and Asia.
• What led industrialised countries to conquer territories
across the world, dominate their indigenous peoples
and exploit their natural resources? How did they justify

5. • THE ECONOMIC NEED FOR COLONIAL EXPLOITATION
• I was in the East End of London yesterday and attended a meeting for the unemployed. I
listened to the wild speeches, which were like cries of "Bread! Bread!" On my way home, I
pondered over the scene and I became more than ever convinced of the importance of
imperialism. (…) We must acquire new lands to settle the surplus population, to find new
markets for the goods, which they produce in factories and mines. (…)
• Cecil Rhodes, British businessman and politician, 1895.

7. 2. Europe conquers the world
• Europe's technological advantages, production capacity and enormous population growth
led the industrial economies to seek new areas of investment and business.
• This led to the age of imperialism, during which the world's culture, politics and
economy were structured around the domination of some countries over others.
