This document discusses the shift from "tame death" to "medicalized death". Tame death occurred in community and was given meaning through rituals. Medicalized death now occurs in hospitals, with 90% of deaths happening in a hospital setting in 1995. Medicalized death is characterized by efforts to avoid mentioning death, despite an obsession with it culturally. It also involves depersonalizing the body and separating the sick from their communities. The medicalization of death is seen as a "triumph of death" that threatens relationships with our bodies, communities, and God.

This research readout investigates how the phenomena both ease and prolong the grieving process for today’s American families. ‘Left behind’ data reveals aspects of a person’s life beyond the family’s expectation. It connects them with friends and peer who share their loss. Finally, we’ll share design concepts turning ‘left behind’ data into AIs that could shift the perception of death from the end of life to a part of life.
Esther Cohen has complaints about practicing psychotherapy without a license since her days as the cook for Divine Madness.

Week 3 Essay
Background: Occasionally a dying person seems to pay a preliminary visit to their post death state. In Final Gifts, Chapter 8, Callanan writes about these experiences. What can we know about the after death experience has fascinated mankind and been the topic of sacred texts throughout history. You can explore this topic as discussed in the course texts and web research also, for instance, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's work on Out of Body Experiences; The Tibetan Book of the Dead; the Egyptian Book of the Dead, or Bertrand Russell essay on “Do We Survive Death?” or he Navajo understanding of death and many more books and essays on the subject.

From the Expert: The Death System
In this course, you are working closely with the text
Death, Society, and Human Experience by Robert K. Kastenbaum. The text explores the nature of dying and death in our society from a multiplicity of perspectives. Kastenbaum defines the death system: “We face death alone in one sense, but in another and equally valid senses, we face death as part of a society whose expectations, rules, motives and symbols influence our individual encounters. …Most of us phase in and out of the death systems as circumstances dictate” (p. 75).
Death weaves in and out of our lives from disasters like Hurricane Katrina to the controversy about the war in Iraq to the death of someone we love to the warnings on our medicine vials and late night television ads about life insurance. The fact of death is so integrated into our lives that we rarely are aware of how pervasive the concerns related to it are.
The Functions of the Death System
The death system in a society serves many functions for its citizens. It includes warnings and predictions such as our weather service does during the hurricane season. It makes billions of dollars available for research on new sources of medicine like Gila monster venom treatment for diabetes. It involves the creation of pet cemeteries as increasingly isolated members of society consider their pets as their family. It encourages development of grief counse.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
