1) Political leaders are trying to gratify themselves by promoting sectarian ideas around language and identity, while opponents disguise themselves as broad-minded.
2) As a common man, the author feels torn between protecting his self-respect and livelihood, and embracing a more unifying attitude.
3) The solution is for common people to understand that feelings of inadequacy or fear of domination are generalized, and to rise above obstacles through growth rather than reacting viciously.
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
2. Political leaders and their intellectual advisors from
different fields with mistaken identity and petty
frame of mind are trying to gratify themselves and
elate their bloated yet tiny ego with jargons such as
Marathi asmita, Marathi manoos, Marathi Bhasha
prem and so on. While this is happening the
sectarian opponents are trying to disguise
themselves as broad minded, large hearted and
ultimately patriotic elements.
As a common man I tend to vacillate between the
illusory fear of loss of natural self respect and my
livelihood being in peril on one hand; and soothing
strength of humane and unifying attitude on the
other.
What is the solution to my dilemma?
3. As a common man I must understand that this
problem is that of generalizing one’s feeling of self
inadequacy or paranoid fear of being dominated by
the others. This is the hallmark of the maniacal
elements on both sides.
While everyone one of us is prone to develop such a
lowly feeling, the solution does not lie in reacting in
a vicious and barbaric manner, but making efforts to
rise and bravely conquer; the obstacle to growth;
inside and outside; and blossom together!
The quest of knowing and realizing self is eternal
and indisputable. It is common to everyone in the
world and Marathi manoos is no exception to it.
In this quest, Marathi manoos has gone far and wide
and excelled in a variety of fields and walks of life.
Marathi manoos has excelled in art, sports,
languages, trade, sciences, finances, spirituality,
4. politics and all the fields for that matter, but not as a
narrow Marathi manoos.
Even though the petty leaders on both sides are
trying to sell their narrowness, grumbling and
blaming attitude and many of us find gratification in
the same (similar to that which we find in
gratification of our whims and fancies or idle
gossip) and buy these ideas, though equally
pessimistically and lethargically. Obviously these
popular and populist leaders and all of us tending to
get dragged after them; would get disillusioned as
and when the flood of enlightenment and
blossoming would engulf the whole universe.
Mahatma Gandhi’s contribution in this respect is
noteworthy! He essentially tried to initiate
individual and global blossoming and self
empowerment.
5. Charkha, khaadi, naturopathy, walking, moolodyog
(productive element in education); were essentially
aimed at such individual and global blossoming and
self empowerment! Freedom for him meant freedom
from within and outside and for India as well as for
all other people of world aspiring freedom! For him,
nonviolence meant “a state where lowly and petty
reactivity in the form of all kinds of violence
towards oneself and the others” would be
unnecessary and redundant!
These transcendental ideas had sprung from the
enlightenment within and always manifested as
often ridiculed “inner voice”. Wherefrom did this
inner voice and enlightenment originate?
Undoubtedly it manifested from the practice of
NAMSMARAN. One can also argue that
NAMSMARAN sprung from the enlightenment! In
any case NAMSMARAN and enlightenment
inseparably go hand in hand and form Mahatma
Gandhi’s innate core!
6. Mahatma Gandhi’s austerity, dhoti, spectacles,
abstinence, celibacy and now even pen; have been
dramatized, highlighted and projected repeatedly.
His sheep is hyped. His ideas about population
control, abortion and often inexplicable or
controversial tactics and decisions also have been
referred to and attacked vehemently and repeatedly
by his adversaries and come in focus frequently.
It is possible that Mahatma Gandhi himself could
not express his enlightenment and
NAMASMARAN adequately, or it may be that the
common individual like me has failed to recognize;
the enlightenment and NAMASMARAN; which
were the core of Gandhi’s personality.
However as a result; Gandhi has been relegated
(though totally wrongly and falsely) as irrelevant
and redundant by both; his apparent adversaries and
7. so called followers and common individuals like
me.
It is clear that the deification or condemnation of
neither petty Marathi chauvinists nor their sectarian
opponents is going to give me as a common man,
my self esteem, my self respect, my respectable
livelihood and also the satisfaction of coexisting,
growing and blossoming together with all varieties
of people of India and the world! I can achieve all
this through self empowerment through
NAMASMARAN no matter what age, sex, region,
language, religion, race I belong to!
However, it is up to me; as a common man; to either
exercise the freedom to blossom and empower
myself through NAMASMARAN or worship and
get dragged behind the illusory goals of pettiness
and darkness.
