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.

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
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.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

action, and characters carry out the action of the
plot. The protagonist is the main character in the
plot who propels the action forward. The antagonist
is the chief opponent to the protagonist. Related
characters assist in the development of the plot and
central characters.
11. Three Major Characteristics of Drama
1. It has a direct, immediate impact
Advantages:
Simultaneous impressions occur
Performance can be more expressive than a reader’s
imagination
Disadvantages:
Limited to one viewpoint—objective (dramatic)
Writers try to overcome this by using the soliloquy
and the aside to accomplish what the omniscient
viewpoint achieves in the short story genre
12. 2. Drama effectively commands the spectator’s
attention
Advantage: The playwright’s power extends beyond
words alone
Disadvantage: The materials one can use on stage are
limited
3. The experience of watching a play is communal
•Advantage: Impact is intensified.
•Disadvantages: There is a need for brevity, swift
movement of plot, and intermissions
13. Setting identifies the time and place in
which the events occur. It consists of the
historical period, the moment, day and
season in which the incidents take place.
It also includes the sceneries in the
performance which are usually found in
the preliminary descriptions.
14. • Theme is considered as the unifying element
that defines the dramatized idea of the play. It
is the over-all sense or implication of the
action. It defines the problem, emphasizes the
ethical judgment and suggest attitude or
course of action that eliminates the crisis is an
acceptable way.
15. Style refers to the mode of expression or
presentation of the play which points out
the playwright’s position or viewpoint in
life.
16. A. Omniscient – a story told by the author, using the third
person; her/his knowledge, control, and prerogatives are
unlimited; authorial subjectivity.
B. Limited Omniscient – a story in which the author associates
with a major or minor character; this character serves as
the author’s spokesperson or mouthpiece.
C. First Person – the author identifies with or disappears in a
major or minor character; the story is told using the first
person “I”.
D. Objective or Dramatic – the opposite of the omniscient;
displays authorial objectivity; compared a roving sound
camera. Very little of the past or the future is given; the
story is set in the present.
17. Symbol
Symbol – a literary symbol means more than what it
is. It has layers of meanings. Whereas an image has
one meaning, a symbol has many.
A. Names used as symbols.
B. Use of objects as symbols.
C. Use of actions as symbols
18. Irony
Irony is a term with a range of meanings, all of them
involving some sort of discrepancy or incongruity. It should not be
confused with sarcasm which is simply language designed to cause
pain. Irony is used to suggest the difference between appearance
and reality, between expectation and fulfillment, the complexity of
experience, to furnish indirectly an evaluation of the author’s
material, and at the same time to achieve compression.
A. Verbal irony – the opposite is said from what is intended.
B. Dramatic irony – the contrast between what a character says
and what the reader knows to true.
C. Irony of situation – discrepancy between appearance and
reality, or between expectation and fulfillment, or between
what is and what would seem appropriate
19. Important Terms
Monologue – an extended speech by
one character.
Soliloquy – an extended speech by
one character, alone on stage.
Soliloquies are used to express the
private thoughts of one character.
Aside – a character’s direct address to
the audience, which is not heard by
the other characters.
20. Monologues, soliloquies, and asides
are dramatic techniques that provide
direct insight into motives, attitudes,
and overall tone.
These techniques function like a
fictional narrator.
