Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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

Introduction
• Intents are used as a message-passing
mechanism that works both within your
application and between applications.
• Intents are also used to broadcast messages
across the system.
Explicit Intents & Explicit Intents
• Use for Intents is to start new Activities, either
explicitly (by specifying the class to load) or
implicitly (by requesting that an action be
performed on a piece of data).
Example of Implicit Intent
Android OS
18. Contents – Application Concepts - Intents
Returning Result Based Intents
• An Activity started via startActivity is
independent of its parent and will not
provide any feedback when it closes.
• Where feedback is required, you can start
an Activity as a sub-Activity that can pass
results back to its parent.
• When a sub-Activity is finished, it triggers
the onActivityResult event handler within
the calling Activity.
• Native Actions are like ACTION_CALL ,
ACTION_DIAL , ACTION_PICK ,
ACTION_WEB_SEARCH ,etc.

Introducing Services
• Unlike Activities, which display graphical
interfaces, Services run invisibly — doing Internet
lookups, processing data, updating your Content
Providers, firing Intents, and triggering
Notifications
• Services are started, stopped, and controlled from
other application components, including
Activities, Broadcast Receivers, and other Services.
Service Life Cycle
• The diagram on the left shows the lifecycle when
the service is created with startService() and the
diagram on the right shows the lifecycle when the
service is created with bindService()

Background Threads
• Additionally, a component can bind to a service to interact
with it and even perform interprocess communication
(IPC)
• Alternatively, the AsyncTask class lets you define an
operation to be performed in the background and
provides event handlers that enable you to monitor
progress and post the results on the GUI Thread
Using Alarms
• Alarms are a means of firing Intents at predetermined
times or intervals.
• Alarms that fire broadcast Intents, start Services, or even
open Activities, without your application needing to be
open or running

Taking Images using Intents
• The easiest way to take a picture from within your application
is to fire an Intent using the
• MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE action:
startActivityForResult(
new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE), TAKE_PICTURE);
• This launches a Camera application providing your users with
the full suite of camera functionality without you having to
rewrite the native Camera application.
Controlling Camera Parameters
• To access the camera hardware directly, you need to
add the CAMERA permission to your application
manifest:
• <uses-permission
android:name=”android.permission.CAMERA”/>
• Camera settings are stored using a
Camera.Parameters object, accessible by calling the
getParameters method on the Camera object

Other Sensors
• Android supports many other types
of sensors like , Accelerometer ,
Gyroscope , Magnetometer ,
Ambient Light Sensor , Ambient
Temp. Sensor , etc.
• To identify the sensors that are on a
device you first need to get a
reference to the sensor service.
• To monitor raw sensor data you
need to implement two callback
methods that are exposed through
theSensorEventListener interface:
onAccuracyChanged() and
onSensorChanged()
