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.
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.
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
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.

Photoshop screenshots
1. I took a photo of Salford Quays landscape. I thought that the
Photo looked very dull as it was taken on a gloomy day, so
there was no natural light to give key detail to the picture.
My intentions for his photograph was to make it seem like a
warm sunny day to give it more appeal to the audience. I felt
as though the sky contrasts very badly with the water.
I wanted the image to be darker as the photograph looked
Grainy and shadowed a lot of the detail. I used a curve effect
That added a shadow over the image and made the sky and
water more vibrant. This also added a cloudy effect to the sky
to make it seem early morning. This was to give a sharp look
to the sky and to the edges of the building so they stood out
More ready for the golden tint to be applied.
2. I liked the idea of making the photo early morning and
seeming like it was summer. So I chose a orange warm
glowing photo filter and overlayed it onto the original
photograph. I was happy with the effect because the sky
changed to orange but kept the building to their original
colour.
To give the realistic illusion that the photograph is early
morning. So I used the lens flare effect and switch it to
Movie prime and positioned it in the middle of sky. This
gave the illusion that it was sunny on the day I took on
the photo. I believe that this photo is now more vibrant
and appealing to look at. I also like the way that he water
Illuminates the water and gives it a reflective look to it.
3. The photo I chose did not need a lot of editing as it
already had depth of field applied when the original was taken.
I chose to edit this photograph because I felt like it need one
Little thing to make the photo complete.
For the effect that I used, I went to the filter page
on Photoshop. I used the Black and White effect.
As I thought the colour of the grass was distracting
To the main subject. This brought out better detail
In the guitar. I took inspiration from Nick Pickles for this
Photograph as most of his photographs are black and
white and add a lot of depth of field to make sure that
the guitar is seen as he main subject. This is a intriguing
photograph because as well as depth of field, it uses the
leading lines technique of the guitar that leads you to
the three band members at the back.
4. This is the original photograph of the bridge
In Salford Quays, I thought to edit this picture as
It is parallel and also like the first photo it is very
dull and bland.
I thought to mess around with the lighting
because the edges of the photo were too bright and I also
wanted the main subject to be the building in the
background through the bridges archway. So I used the
Lighting effects tool and created a light in the centre of the
photo creating a light shadow around the edges of the
Photograph. Because the photograph is seen as symmetry,
I believe that the effects I had to use had to be symmetrical.
The added shadow around he edges adds a immersion into
the photograph as you look right down the centre to the
building at the back.
5. I still thought there was not enough focus on the
centre of the bridge. So I added a level to make the
Shadow on the outside darker. This gave the building
a better and brighter bronze reflect, which I liked because
It looked like the light source of the photo.
As another option I changed the whole photo to
Black and white because it worked well with the black
Shadow but went against it because the other looked.
Appealed to me more. I did like the glow but I thought
because of the style of my previous photographs I thought
that I would follow with the black and white effect. Because
It made the photograph look more old fashioned.
