The document discusses how the media product, a documentary about baking, uses conventions of real documentaries without challenging genres. It considers using a male narrator to challenge stereotypes but decides an older female narrator aligns better with audience research. Lower thirds with names and roles, rule of thirds framing for interviews, relevant mise-en-scene settings, and a narrator to introduce topics were included to match documentary conventions. The print and radio advertisements designed to promote the documentary aim to follow typical formats and codes for those mediums.

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
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.

TESDA TM1 REVIEWER FOR NATIONAL ASSESSMENT WRITTEN AND ORAL QUESTIONS WITH A...
In what way does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
1. In what way does your media
product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real media
products?
2. When creating our documentary we didn’t really challenge
any forms and conventions of a documentary. We did this
so it looked as professional as possible and so if a person
watched it without knowing what genre the programme
was they would easily be able to identify that it was a
mixed documentary.
We considered challenging the stereotypes of baking by
using a male voiceover instead of a female to go against the
stereotype of home bakers being mainly female, but later
decided that an older female would be better to use as this
is what the results from our audience research told us to
use. Also a woman’s voice may be more appropriate as it is
a soft voice and baking is considered a relaxing activity.
3. Lower thirds
A title located in the lower third of the clip is important in a documentary. It tells the
audience who the person being interviewed is and a caption below the name usually tells
the audience why they are significant to the documentary.
This screen shot taken from ‘Terror at sea;
The sinking of The Concordia’ shows the
use of a name tag located in the lower
third. This image was taken from a
documentary located on channel 4.
Although there is no caption saying why the
person is significant although the voiceover
told the audience he was a passenger on
the ship.
This screen shot was taken from our
documentary ‘A Piece of Cake’. The screen
shot shows the lady we interviewed and then
a title and caption telling us who she is and
why she is significant to the documentary. We
put this text in the same font used
throughout the documentary in a black font
so it would stand out. We also used the same
font so there was consistency throughout the
documentary.
4. Rule of Thirds
Using rule of thirds is important in a documentary as it is classed as a typical
convention. All documentaries we analysed had rule of thirds so we made sure we
used rule of thirds in our own documentary. We did this in interviews and in Vox pops.
This screen shot was taken from
‘Educating Essex’. This screenshot
shows rule of thirds in action as the
man is slightly off centre with his
shoulders located in the lower third.
By having a person off centre you can
have them sat on either side of the
screen which adds a slight variation to
the documentary
This screen shot was taken from our
documentary. As you can see the girl
is slightly off centre much like the
channel 4 documentary with her
shoulders located in the lower third.
We had the people we interviewed
positioned on different sides to add
variation.
5. Mise En Scene
Mise en Scene is a term that refers to the scene. It essentially means visual theme
which means keeping anything the audience can see relevant to whatever you are
producing. So when creating our documentary we had to keep in mind settings,
costumes and who we were interviewing.
This screen shot was taken from ‘Educating
Essex’. This screenshot shows Mise en
Scene. A green screen was used in this
documentary so the student looks like she
is say in front of lockers which are relevant
to schools. Mise en Scene was also used in
what she was wearing as she is wearing a
uniform so the audience can clearly
identify that she is a pupil at the school.
This screen shot was taken from our
documentary. We used Mise en Scene here
as the lady we are interviewing is stood in
a kitchen like area which is where they
prepare the cakes in the supermarket. She
is also dressed in her work clothes which is
a bakers outfit which clearly identifies to
the audience that she is a baker.
6. Narrator
A narrator is very important in a documentary. The narrator plays the part of a kind of
‘Voice of God’ which gives the audience key information before an interview begins
that is also relevant to the topic the narrator is talking about. Essentially the narrator
sets up the next topic to be discussed during the documentary. Many documentaries
use this ‘Voice of God’ narration such as ‘My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, Educating Essex
and 24 hours in A&E.’ This ‘Voice of God’ narration also occurs in documentaries on
other channels such as BBC, ITV and Channel 5 etc.
Our documentary also featured a ‘Voice of
God’ narration. We used the voiceover to introduce new topics and line up questions
that would then be answered by those who we interviewed. We chose to use an
older woman (around 60) as we felt her voice suited the theme of our documentary
as stereotypically older people bake more than young people. We also chose to use
a woman as the answers received from our questionnaires stated that most people
would prefer a female voiceover for a documentary based on cakes.

When creating the print advertisement we stuck to the common conventions that you would find in a typical
Channel4 print advertisement. We used the channel4 logo centred on the right and the text in the white banner.
Although our image is shown to be lighter and not as dark as the image on the left. We did this to convey the
theme. We wanted it to appear light hearted so by using bright colours it portrays a laid back feel. Where-as the
‘Britain's forgotten children’ appears to be angling towards a serious subject that should not be taken lightly
which is reflected in the dark colour scheme.
8. Radio Advertisement.
When creating a radio advert we made sure to try and keep to the common
codes and conventions of radio adverts, such as music playing in the
background, the use of public opinions and a narration that sums up the theme
of the documentary. The advert is around 30 seconds long which we found was
an average run time for most adverts that played on the radio. We kept the
advert light hearted as we felt it went well along side the concept of baking as it
is viewed as a hobby.
