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

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. + Introduction
There are four main institutions dominating today’s music industry.
These institutions are known as ‘The Big Four’ and include:
+ Universal Music Group (UMG) – the largest of the four
+ Sony Music Entertainment – the second largest
+ Warner Music Group – the third largest
+ EMI Music Publishing – the fourth largest and the smallest of the four
…
All of which are owned by Live Nation, the largest music venue owner
and promoter which, therefore, controls the live music industry. In
addition to promoting music, these institutions also promote different
forms of media, including, film, magazine and TV. The Big Four also
have authority over a network of smaller companies that go on to
provide these forms of entertainment to target audiences.
3. + Universal Music Group (UMG)
UMG was founded in 1934 as DECCA Records USA.
UMG is the world’s largest music content company. In 1990, the company later
developed into MCA Music Entertainment Group, and after another 6 years,
further development lead to what we know as UMG today. With leading market
positions in recorded music, as well as music publishing and merchandising,
UMG both discovers and develops recording artists and songwriters then going
onto market and promote their music through a variety of different formats and
platforms, e.g. Youtube and other merchandising methods such as clothing lines
and live shows.
UMG also owns and governs the copyrights to musical compositions in order for
them to be used in public performances, recordings, and also for use in films
and advertisements. UMG has worked alongside many successful artists such
as Rihanna, Snow Patrol and The Who and is situated, mainly, in New York City,
USA where the institution also manages various labels including DECCA
Records, Island Records and Def Jam Recordings (also known as The Island
Def Jam Music Group).
4. + Sony Music
A global recording company that boasts a broad array of both local and
international successes such as Jimi Hendrix, The Fray and One Direction.
Sony Music Entertainment is solely owned by Sony Corporation of America
after the Bertelsmann half of the joint business enterprise, in 2004, was
bought by the Corporation in 2008; after which, it was renamed to what it is
know as today. The company’s headquarters are located in New York City,
USA and is home to a number of labels including Epic Records, Roc Nation
and Columbia Records.
5. +Warner Music Group
Founded in 1958, Warner Music Group was more commonly known as Warner Bros
Records, later sold to Seven Arts Productions in 1967. With the company’s growing
success, in 1972, the institution renamed itself WEA Corp, which stood for its three main
labels -Warner Bros, Elektra and Atlantic.
After further success building up a strong status within the industry during the 1970’s,
Warner gained its first overseas bureaus in both Canada and Australia in same year. In
2004, as a result of becoming an independent holder, the company was, once again,
renamed to what it is known as today. Warner Music Group offer artist management and
uses similar merchandising methods. Also like the previous institutions, WMG is home to
many record labels including Asylum, Rhino and Sire and has also assisted many artists
that have gone on to become very successful such as Green Day, Plan B and Estelle.
6. + Electric and Music Industries
Founded in 1931 as the Electric and Music Industries, EMI is the smallest of
The Big Four and unlike the three previously mentioned institutions, EMI is a
British company predominantly based in London. The original companies
behind EMI were founded by the inventor of the gramophone, Emile Berliner,
and its record labels include Angel Records, Blue Note Records and Virgin
Records. Over the years, EMI has also worked alongside many successful
artists including The Kooks, LCD Soundsystem and Massive Attack and to
this day EMI continues to develop in the eyes of the music industry.
7. + Information Regarding Music Institutions
In order to fully promote a song through its music video, these institutions
cover a variety of viewing methods and platforms including music channels
(4Music, VIVA) and coverage of entertainment news. However, with the
constant developments in regard to the Internet, it is becoming increasingly
common for consumers to view music videos online through sites like
YouTube as well as the artist’s official site. Looking at my research on music
institutions, I found that many of them use the online music and entertainment
service VEVO. This is because it enables the product, in this case music
videos, to reach the vast and thriving user community on YouTube through a
VEVO branded channel. In addition to these channels, VEVO offers many
more through its site.
