The student created a magazine cover and contents page for a college magazine using Photoshop and Quark to practice including codes and conventions of real magazines. For the cover, strengths included including elements like the masthead, cover lines, and direct eye contact, but weaknesses were an unclear background and patterned shirt. For the contents page, strengths were layout and inclusion of social media, but weaknesses were blank spaces. Overall, the student learned skills in Photoshop and Quark and gained insights on improvements for their next magazine project.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
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.
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.

Media evaluation
1. College
Magazine
Evaluation
FRIDA WAYWELL
1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge codes
and conventions of real media products?
2. How did you use new media technologies in the construction of your
media product?
3. What are the strengths and weaknesses of both the product and your use
of new media technologies?
2. Magazine Cover Evaluation:
For our preliminary exercise we had to create a magazine cover and a single contents page for a
college magazine. The magazine had to appeal to teenagers and educate them about
college and help them have a good start. When creating the magazine cover I had to
consider the codes and conventions in order to create a successful front cover.
I made my college magazine cover on Photoshop. On my
cover I made sure that I had included all of the correct codes
and conventions, such as: a masthead, cover lines, a barcode, a
positioning statement, one splash, bold fonts, and the person
on the front cover is looking directly at the camera. I feel I
included the majority of the correct codes and conventions,
however one thing that I would do differently is make sure
that the background in my photo is blank so that my cover
lines stood out and were more clear.
3. I compared my magazine cover to another
magazine so that I could see how successful
my project was.
The majority of my codes and conventions are
also shown in this real magazine. I know that my
front cover was successful as I have compared
my magazine cover and a lot of my codes and
conventions were done correctly.
Eye-catching cover
lines.
Bold masthead.
Barcode.
Direct eye contact.
4. Weaknesses:
In some ways my college magazine front
cover was successful, however it does have its
weaknesses:
• One weakness is that the background is not
black which makes it hard for the cover lines to
stand out. This also makes the cover look messy,
if I were to change this I would retake the photo
making sure that the background is blank.
• Another weakness of my front cover is that the
person on my cover is wearing a patterned t-
shirt. Because the t-shirt is patterned it makes
the cover line very unclear and hard to read.
• If I were to do this front cover again I would
have made the changes above, and I would have
changed the font of my title as I think the font is
very boring, and does not catch attention.
5. Contents Page Evaluation:
This is my contents page for my college magazine. I
made my contents page on quak. In my contents page I
used pictures of the college, a picture of the front cover,
a bold title, and picture of the social media sites in order
to contact the college. I felt that using all of these codes
and conventions made my magazine cover successful. In
my contents page I used columns to set it out so that it
was easy to read.
Weakness:
One weakness on my contents is the layout. Because
my pictures were different sizes I ended up being left
with a blank space on my page as it was too small to
fit anything in. also there is blank spaces on each side
of the title. When doing my contents page for my
music magazine I will make sure there are no blank
spaces.
6. In the columns I included information
which says what is included on each page of
the magazine. I had page numbers in a
bigger font, and in bold going down the
side of the page. Next to the numbers I
wrote down briefly what is on each page in
the magazine.
I also had a little section
in my column called
‘news’ this is telling the
students reading the
magazine occasions that
are happening in
college.
Strengths:
Another strength on my contents page
is including social media sites; this
gives the students ways of contacting
the college through their social media.
I think that the pictures I included in my contents
page make it a success as they relate to what is in the
magazine, and show certain parts of the college.
7. New Media Technologies
To make my contents page I used quak. Firstly, I
started by making to columns so that my pages
were divided evenly. I then begun by adding my
title to the page, as well as the date in the top right
corner. After I had decided on my chosen fonts for
the title and the writing font I then began to fill in
the first column. In the first column I wrote the
page numbers and a brief explanation of what was
on each page.
After doing that I started to add my photographs of
the college to my contents page. I then added text
over the top of each image stating what was in the
image and made sure that it related to the page
number.
Once all of my text and images were on the
magazine in the correct places (basing off my
sketch) I then added a background colour. I chose
the colour black because I felt that it looked a lot
better than the whole page being white. However, I
did decide to leave the left column white as well as
the news and the social media section as that
seemed to stand out more and look a lot more
clear to read.
8. Overall..
Overall, my magazine front cover had its strengths and
weaknesses. From assessing my front cover I now know
what changes I will make when making my music
magazine front cover. From doing this college magazine
front cover I now know how to use Photoshop so that my
next magazine cover will be a lot better, considering I
know more skills.
From evaluating my contents page I now understand
what I will need to include when it comes to my music
magazine contents page. There were strengths and
weaknesses within my contents page which will help me
to improve on my skills using quak.
