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.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

6. Need for Data Structure
Applications are Complex
Complex Applications demand more Computations
Computations require Complex Data
Complex Data require Complex organization
Complex Organizations require Complex Processing
(Searching, Insertion, Deletion)
Data structures organize data
Provides way of storing data so that it can be used efficiently
7. Selection of Data Structures
The cost of a solution is the amount of resources
The choice of data structure and algorithm can make the
difference in execution of a program
Carefully chosen data structure will allow the most effective
algorithm to be used
A well-designed data structure allows a variety of critical
operations to be performed, using few resources
Quality and performance of the final result depends heavily
on choosing the best data structure
8. How to Select a data structure
Analyze the problem to determine the resource constraints a
solution must meet
Determine the basic operations that must be supported
Quantify the resource constraints for each operation
Select the data structure that best meets these
requirements
Some questions to ask
Amount of data to store
Are all data inserted into the data structure at the beginning,
or are insertions interspersed with other operations?
Can data be deleted? If so, a more complex representation is
typically required
Are all data processed in some well-defined order, or is random
access allowed?
9. Data Structure Philosophy
Each data structure has costs and benefits
Rarely is one data structure better than another in all
situations.
A data structure requires:
space for each data item it stores
time to perform each basic operation
programming efforts
Each problem has constraints on available space and time
Only after a careful analysis of problem characteristics can
we know the best data structure for the task
10. Methodologies for Analyzing Algorithm
How much of a computer time and memory is utilized by an
algorithm
Methodologies
Empirical Comparison (run programs)
Asymptotic Algorithm Analysis
The efficiency analysis concentrates on critical operations:
data interchanges (swaps)
comparisons (<, >, ==, ! =)
arithmetic operations (+, -, =)
Factors affecting running time
Critical resources
Size of the input
Machine load
Operating System, Compiler, …
Problem size
11. Types of Data Structures
Base Data Structures
Primitive
Composite
Linear Data Structures
Array
Linked List
Non-Linear Data Structures
Graph
Tree
12. Arrays
Arrays are the most common data structure used to store
collections of elements
Access any element using its index number
Occupies contiguous memory area
Example:
int scores[100];
scores[0] = 18;
scores[1] = 5;
scores[2] = 24;
scores
18 5 24 -2134 ... ... ... 14217
Index 0 1 2 3 . . . . . . . 99
13. Pointers
A variable capable of storing an address is called a pointer
variable.
Consider the variable declaration:
int *ptr;
Such a pointer is said to "point to" an integer.
Storing in ptr the address of an integer variable k is done as
ptr = &k;
The "dereferencing operator" refers to the value of that
which ptr is pointing to.
*ptr = 7;
To print to the screen the integer value stored at the address
pointed to by ptr.
printf("%dn",*ptr);
14. Structures
We can declare the form of a block of data containing
different data types by means of a structure declaration.
For example,
struct person
{
char name[20];
int age;
float weight;
};
We now declare a variable of type person
struct person p;
and access the structure data using this variable as
p.age
15. Structures Continued…
We can also declare a pointer to a structure with the
declaration:
struct person *ptr;
and we point it to our example structure with:
st_ptr = &p;
Now, we can access a given member by de-referencing the
pointer as
(*st_ptr).age = 63;
Or use an alternative syntax as
st_ptr->age = 63;
