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

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.
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 - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
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?
3. Q.1
• Starting it’s journey in a makeshift office in a garage on the eve of one Valentine’s
day as an angel-funded enterprise, ‘X’ (not any individual) went on to become the
mightiest ‘figure’ of it’s kind. The brainchild of some crazy dropouts of one of the
most prime net banking mediums, ‘Y’, out there. A German-Bangladeshi fellow
‘Z’ inaugurated ‘X’ with one of his creations.
• X’s naming contains a unique nod toward one of the most primeval forms of “idiot
box”.
• Interestingly X’s URL, soon after registration, came under attack by another
company claiming to have a very similar URL registered with them. Though X got
over all the allegations.
• One of the most dominating search engines once applauded X by calling it “the
next step in the evolution of the internet.”
Give me X, Y and Z. (5 + 3 + 2) = 10 (+/-)
5. Q.2
• This annual, famous event ‘A’ creatively enclosed their purpose into their logo.
• Looking at one particular part, rather a particular letter ‘X’, of the logo, you
can find abruptly a shape of a person performing some special activity which
determines obviously the purpose of the event.
• There’s also a circle with a specific colour ‘Y’ which has another meaning. It
also represents something etarnal, we all know about.
• The circle signifies a particular time of a day when the event takes place.
• This event ‘A’ is often described as “the world’s most prestigious & most
difficult…” event of its kind. The event was first started in the 1st decade of
20th century to increase sales for a particular media ‘Z’ (can be anything
working as a media, which I’m not gonna dilute).
Give me A, X, Y and Z. (4 + 2 + 2 + 2) = 10. (+/-)
6. • A – “Le Tour de France”
• X – The letter ‘R’ shaped like a man cycling.
• Y – Yellow coloured circle, denoting the sun (etarnal😉) and thus
signifying that the race takes place in day time.
• Z – A newspaper named as “ L’Auto ”.
7. Player Year Score Opposition Venue
X 1983 236* WI Chennai
Y 2007 239 PAK Bengaluru
Z 2008 200* AUS New delhi
Identify X, Y & Z. Connect them (find the
similarity among the innings). [2+2+2+4] (+/-)
Q.3
8. • X – Sunil Gavaskar
• Y – Sourav Ganguly
• Z – VVS Laxman
• All of them scored double centuries in their 99th test match of career.
9. Q.4
• ‘X’ is a global manufacturer and supplier of power train components and vehicle safety
products.
• It sells and distributes products under more than 20 brands in global vehicle aftermarket,
including wiper blades (proper name intentionally not mentioned here) and many engine
products including ‘Y’.
• ‘Y’ is also present in the name of one of most promising sportsman who couldn’t shine
as per expectations after winning one world championship.( Not gonna dilute the exact
sport). He has similar first name with one famous Croat sports person person ‘Z’. (6+2+2)
. (+/-)
10. • X – Federal-Mogul
• Y – Gotze
• Z – Mario Mandjukic

rooms respectively
according to their
functions.
Q.5
12. These 3 pictures are accordingly the Reading, Binding
& Editor’s rooms of “Time of India” office situated in
the the then Bombay.
13. Q.6
• ‘X’ spent his whole career absorbed by the belief that the artist could be an agent for
change and good. He was one of the fathers of suprematism, along with Kazimir
Malevich.
• He changed the look of typography, exhibition design, photo montage and book
cover design. Most of the modern techniques we see today and that appear in film
and modern Kenetic typography are the product of X’s work.
• One of his most famous pieces, shown below, really embodies X’s work. It is so
avant garde that even a lay person could recognize the style. The abstract geometric
shapes and clear color pallet scream of modernist art, and yet the poster has a real
message. It describes the Russian revolution that took place in 1917. The white
circle represents the royalists from the old regime, and the red triangle represents
the communists moving in and changing opinion. It has been described as a
stylized battle plan for communist victory.
• You can find the effect of this abstract artwork on Franz Ferdinand’s music album
‘Y’s cover. (5+5). (+/-)
14. • X – El Lissitzsky
• Y – “The fffire” (The Fire) album.
Abstract be
Lissitzsky
The fffire album cover.
15. Q.7
• ‘X’ is a traditional culinary dish from Western India. It is a mutton curry
prepared in a sauce of yoghurt and hot spices & a special ingredient ‘Y’
which is also native to the state from where the dish is originated. This dish
typically is very hot and rich in garlic, the gravy may be thick or liquid and is
eaten with chapatis made out of wheat (usually eaten in summers) or bajra
(a millet grown in Western India and eaten in the winter months).
• Chef Bulai Swain said that: “Traditionally, X was made with wild
game meat, such as boar or deer and chillies were used to veil the gamy
odour of the meat. It was a favourite among the royalties. While the spicy
flavour is remained intact now, the meat used is tender mutton.”
• Often helmed as the true-blue marvel for the traditional people of the
origin state, this fierce dish can make your brows sweat, and if it doesn’t
perhaps it isn’t the real deal.
Give me X & Y. (5+5) (+/-).
17. Q.8
• ‘X’(not an individual ofcourse) has an important influence on the way a large
classical musical ensemble sounds.
• Traditionally, violin bows or rolled pieces of paper were used as ‘X’ as musical
ensembles were often led from the lead violin or the keyboard. The first
reported use of X in a performance dates back to 709 BC in ancient Greece,
where the concerned musician was described to be ‘Using a golden staff’.
• Extravagant X were continued to be created since then, with a historical
example in the mid-1850s described as “a gorgeous X made of maplewood,
richly mounted in gold and set with costly diamonds.”
• In the 16th to 18th century musicians frequently used it to beat time by banging
them vigorously against the floor. This posed an unusual occupational hazard,
which an incident recorded in 1687 illustrates: ‘Y’, an eminent musician in the
royal French court, accidentally struck himself in the foot during a
performance- The wound turned gangrenous and eventually led to his death a
few months later!
• Give me ‘X’ & ‘Y’. (6+4) (+/-).
18. • X – Conductor’s Baton.
• Y - Jean-Baptiste Lully
19. Q.9
• Human rights charity association ‘A’ is pairing the one masterpiece of
‘X’ with the work of award-winning illustrator and artist, ‘Y’, to create
an illustrated version of X’s iconic creation ‘Z’.
• The picture book aims to share more information about the work that ‘A’
do around the world, as well as raising money for the charity. For every
copy sold, a donation will be made to A’s fund.
• Z, a legendary piece of work, was created by X in 1971. Z depicts X’s dream of
a peaceful world devoid of any war and riot.
• The merger (book) by A was published by Frances Lincoln Children’s Book.
• Picture next slide is a direct hint, either you crack it or you don’t.
20.
21. • A – Amnesty International
• X – John Lennon
• Y – Jean Julien
• Z – The song named Imagine (1971).
22. Q.10
• History of ‘X’ (not an individual) takes us back by 5000 years to Indus
valley and Harappan civilizations of ancient India. Traces of X were found
from the excavation of these historical sites. Traces of X have also been
found in ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations. Portable X was
invented much later during the reigns of Jahangir. History of X will be
incomplete if we do not mention Guru Nanak Dev. He encouraged the use of
X. In order to remove caste barriers and promote equality amongst people,
he urged them to build ’A’ (similar to X) in their neighbourhood.
• In the late 1940s, ‘XY’ was popularised at Moti Mahal restaurant in
Peshawar. The 'XY' at Moti Mahal, Daryaganj was liked by Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru so much that he made it a regular at official banquets.
Former Soviet and Pakistan Prime Ministers Nikita Khrushchev and
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto are said to be great fans of XY.
Give me X, A and XY. (7+1.5+1.5). (+/-).
23. • X – Tandoor
• A – Sanjha Chulha
• XY – Tandoori Chicken.
