The Impact of Science & Technology on Victorian LondonJIM MUKERJEE
Paper submitted for course on History of London, England, at University of Oxford, UK, July 31, 2013. The paper describes the innovative technical contributions of Sir Joseph Bazalgette in designing and deploying the "intercepting sewers", in mid-1860s, which diverted surface water and sewage from the Thames, in the face of insurmountable technical and political odds. The resulting drainage systems under the Victoria, Albert, Thames and Chelsea Embankments helped eradicate cholera epidemics in London. "Bazalgette did more good and saved more lives than any single Victorian public official"!

Massachusetts has a unique archaeological resource in its many colonial graveyards. These contain a large number of precisely dated “artifacts” in the form of headstones and provide an opportunity for studies of the ways in which different aspects of British colonial and Euro- American culture have changed over time. For this assignment, you will visit a local cemetery of your choosing and use the headstones and other associated material culture to address questions aimed at understanding demographic, social, symbolic, or technological issues in the past. This assignment does not require any archaeological excavation, and your instructor and federal, state, and local laws expressly forbid you from doing any! The project also does not require you to do any additional background research, although you are welcome to do so. Please
respect these cemeteries, the individuals buried therein, and any visitors you may encounter during your study.

Turning Curator Drafts into Compelling TextWest Muse
It’s fine to talk about what makes for good text, but in the real world, we rarely get to write it from scratch. In this session, experienced rewriters walk you through their process of turning curatorial or scientific essays into compelling interpretive text. This session begins with a research-supported overview of what makes good exhibit text. Next, we’ll show you how to turn academic essays into words visitors will want to read. Then, join the conversation to discuss strategies for getting the team on board with visitor-friendly text.

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.

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.
2. How do we find out about
what happened in
medieval times?
3. We can divide our sources of
information about the past into two
categories
• PRIMARY SOURCES
• SECONDARY SOURCES
4. •PRIMARY
SOURCES
These are things
that are written or
made during the
time being
studied.
First hand
information
•SECONDARY
SOURCES
These are things
written or made
after the time
being studied.
Second hand
information that is
often based on
primary sources
5. Examples of primary sources
All these must have come from the time being
studied
• Photos
• Artefacts
• Autobiographies
• Film/video footage
• Letters
• Speeches
• Paintings
• Drawings
• Maps
• Documents
• Bones
• Ruins
• Fossils
• Graves/tombs
• Cave paintings
• Newspapers
• Voice recordings
• Diaries/journals
• Log books
• Posters
6. Examples of secondary sources
These are usually made long after the time being studied
• Text books
• Movies
• Newspapers
• Pamphlets
• Nonfiction books
• Fiction books
• Encyclopaedias
• Websites
• T.V shows
• Models
• Replicas
• documentaries
• Teachers’ notes
• Students’ essays/assignments
• Biographies
8. Primary sources are important when
studying history because…
You are seeing the original thing that
has not been altered so you can make
your own opinion of it. No one is
telling you what to think!
9. Secondary sources are important
when studying history because…
they can explain things and give
you a range of ideas about what
might have happened. They are
someone else’s opinion.
12. ORIGINAL TEXT TRANSLATION
• A great mortality ... destroyed more
than a third of the men, women and
children. As a result, there was such a
shortage of servants, craftsmen, and
workmen, and of agricultural workers
and labourers, that a great many lords
and people, although well-endowed
with goods and possessions, were yet
without service and attendance. Alas,
this mortality devoured such a
multitude of both sexes that no one
could be found to carry the bodies of
the dead to burial, but men and
women carried the bodies of their own
little ones to church on their shoulders
and threw them into mass graves, from
which arose such a stink that it was
barely possible for anyone to go past a
churchyard.
13. Yes, photos of primary sources can be
counted as primary sources (as students can’t visit
museums around the world to view the actual artefacts).
Yes, translations of primary sources can be
considered primary sources as long as they
are “word for word” translations - as far as
possible. (Is the translator an expert?)
15. Authenticity
To work out the source’s authenticity you have to identify its origin (when and where it came from and who
created it).
This can be really difficult!
If you can’t identify (find) it’s origin and you still want to use it, you need to note this in your work.
For example;
This diagram shows the farming style of peasants in medieval times (origin unknown).
http://resourcesforhistoryteachers.wik
ispaces.com/WHI.7
16. Another way or determining the authenticity of
the primary source is evaluating the reliability of
the secondary source where you found it (usually
a website or a book).
Eg: a Museum website should be a reliable
source, Wikipedia is not (why /why not?)
Remember CRRaP (evaluation)
17. Do all primary sources
give an accurate picture
of the past?
18. CONTEXT
When evaluating the reliability of primary source
information consider the context in which it was
created (setting, situation, background of it’s creation)
• Who created the primary source? PERSPECTIVE
• Why was it created? PURPOSE
• What was the knowledge or understanding of the person
who created it?
19. Primary source
An account of the black death by
Michael Platiensis 1357.
Translated by by C. H. Clarke
1926
20. Bayeux Tapestry
This is one of the most famous pieces of Primary evidence (source)
from the early medieval times.
It depicts (shows) the lead up to the Battle of Hastings and some of
the Battle (1066) fought between the King of England and the Duke of
Normandy (France).
It is actually an embroidery. It is made up of eight separate pieces of
linen that were joined to make it approximately 78 metres long and ½
a meter wide. Seven to eight metres are missing. It is very lucky to
have served so long and has been carefully studied by historians.
Let's have a look!
22. More than one source should help with a better range of information (answering all of your
specific inquiries).
Corroboration
Most importantly, more than one source should also;
• help you work out if the information you have found is reliable because if another
source gives the same or similar information then you can have more trust in it (one
source is corroborating another).
• help you work out the most correct information. If two sources contradict each other
you go to other sources.
