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.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
1. We will be starting in just a
few minutes
Get comfortable and make sure you are ready to take notes. You
can type questions as we go, or save them to ask at the end of
the lecture.
3. Learning outcomes
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
Explain the role of a marketing plan within the wider event planning
process
Describe some of the key activities required in event marketing
Discuss the marketing activities of real event examples
4. Your marketing strategy must align with the corporate/event strategy
Who is your audience?
How are we going to approach them?
What are we going to say?
How are we going to get them to commit?
How will we arrive at our target numbers?
Objectives must be SMART
“Selling out” is too simplistic – you need you be more sophisticated!
What is your Unique Selling Point (USP)?
Your marketing will set the attendee expectation – you must meet or exceed this!

Segmentation
• Can be demographic,
psychographic or behavioural
Targeting
• Do not try and be all things to all
people, but must be substantial
enough to sustain your event
Positioning
• Always in relation to your
competition
6. Part of, but distinct from, the event plan
Should contain (Jackson, 2013):
An understanding of the environment (internal and external)
Clear objectives
Marketing activities
Marketing programmes (action plan)
Marketing budgets
Control and contingencies
Informed by market intelligence
Source: Jackson, N. (2013). Promoting and Marketing Events: Theory and practice. Abingdon: Routledge.
7. Milestones provide an opportunity to review the on-going effectiveness of a
marketing campaign
Ticket sales provide a useful measure of effectiveness, but it is not the only way!
Contingency funds are only useful if you have time to spend them, therefore it is
vital that milestones are set far enough in advance to allow for an effective
marketing ‘blitz’
Most advertising takes time to have effect
Don’t rule out ‘old school’ methods, such as flyering/promotional teams
Remember, you can’t sell a ticket after the event!
8. Marketing collateral
The ‘physical’ manifestation of the
marketing message
Costly to produce
Even ‘free’ material still costs in
terms of time and resources
Consider the different channels you
will use – can the same collateral be
used on multiple platforms?
Examples
Brochures / flyers
Social media content
Mail-shots / emails
Adverts
Editorial / advertorial
Listings
Banners

Attention
• the message should grab the target audience's attention
Interest
• the message should arouse the target audience's interest
Desire
• the message should stimulate desire so that the target
audience wants to experience the product
Action
• the message should encourage the target audience
actually to take action now, such as calling a reservation
number, visiting a website or making a booking
10. Digital marketing IS NOT FREE! It takes significant time and energy
S.E.O. = Search Engine Optimisation
Likes / “I’m going” ≠ attendance
Provides increased opportunity for two-way communications
Allows for continued relationship management
Analytics provides a powerful tool in understanding your customer
11. The work does not end at the end of the event!
Successful marketing IS NOT just about how many people attended
WHO were your attendees? Were they your target market?
Who DID NOT attend? Were there people who said they would come but did not?
Which channels were most effective? Which were least effective?
What was the Return On Investment (ROI)?
How did this event compare with previous events? Or competitor events?
Expectations vs experience
Gather as much different data as possible
Statistical data / analytics / satisfaction surveys
12. Public Relations (PR)
“The planned and sustained effort to establish
and maintain goodwill and mutual
understanding between an organization and its
publics” (Jackson, 2013, pp.117).
Note that “publics” is plural!
Principally about reputation management
Has become a shorthand for actions dealing
with the media
Includes, but is not restricted to, crisis
management
Remember that the media are an
intermediary between you and the public, not
the final audience
What should be included in a Press Release?
