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.

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.
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

carries e.g. a red rose can symbolise love,
England or pride.
11. Film Language

• Theorist: Roland Barthes
• Theory: Semiotics – the study of signs
• Barthes argued that: “The audience look
for signs to help them interpret the
narrative…these deeply rooted signs are
based on expectations the audience has
due to their prior knowledge (of old tales
or myths)
13. Theory: Roland Barthes
• Signifer Signified
• (The object) (The meaning)
Semiology
The relationship between the
signfer and signified
Sign
The total of the signifer and signified
e.g. how we interpret the combination
of the signifer and signified
15. Key Term

• The idea is that everything is in the
scene for a reason.
• This includes props, lighting, music,
setting, characters
Mise-en-scene
Pronunciation:
mee-zon sen
16. Mise-
en-scene
Things to consider:
1) Setting and props used
2) Costume and make-up used
3) The way objects and people are positioned.
4) Lighting and colour
5) Actors – their expression and movement
6) Actor Performance
17. 1. Settings & Props
• Settings & Locations play an important part in film-making
and are not just ‘backgrounds’
• Sets are either built from scratch or a great deal of time is
spent to find a setting which already exists
• Settings can manipulate an audience by building certain
expectations and then taking a different turn
• What settings and props you would find in:
1. A Science Fiction Film
2. A Romantic Comedy
3. A Horror Film
18. 2. Costume, Hair & Make Up
• Costume, Hair & Make Up act as an instant
indicator to us of a character’s personality, status &
job
• It tells us immediately whether the film is set in the
present and what society/or culture it will centre
around
• Certain costumes can signify certain individuals (i.e.
black cloak of a vampire, Spidey’s Spiderman suit)
19.
20. 3. Positioning of Characters & Objects
within a frame
• Positioning within a frame can draw our
attention to an important character/object
• A film-maker can use positioning to indicate
relationships between people
• What does the positioning in the following
images reveal about the characters/film:
24. 4. Lighting
• Lighting helps to create mood and atmosphere.
• If there is very little light it can be quite scary
• Low key lighting – less light creates areas of dark
and light and lots of shadows.
25. • High key lighting – is bright lighting
used to make the scene look like it
is natural light.
36. 4. Facial Expressions & Body Language
• Facial Expressions provide a clear indicator of how someone
is feeling
• If someone is smiling broadly, we assume they are happy but
we may get a different feeling if this is accompanied by scary
music
• Body Language may also indicate how a character feels
towards another character or may reflect the state of their
relationship
• TASK: What meanings/emotions do the following images
convey:
39. Language and mode of address
• How does the text speak to the audience?
• The language used gives clues to the
audience, genre and purpose
• Language
• Colloquial – chatty slang
• Vocabulary – polysyllabic, technical jargon
• Hyperbole - exaggerated
40. Mode of address
• Informal
• Formal
• Direct mode of address
• Indirect mode of address
41.
42. Homework
• Chose an extract from any film and discuss the
micro elements that we have looked at so far.
• Also discuss the effect of the actor’s
performance and why it wouldn’t have been
the same for another actor to have played the
part.
