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 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.

7. M o o d b o a r d http://pennynakana2.blogspot.com/2011/10/potential-moodboard.html The idea of this Moodboard is to give an idea of what we expect our teaser trailer to be like. This is a potential Moodboard of movies we were inspired by to create our teaser trailer ideas. We tend to focus on the Horror/Mystery side as we feel this would affect audiences more if we were to use realistic horror movies as an example.
8. T a r g e t A u d i e n c e a n d R e s e a r c h Young Adults: 15-25. Standard mark for Horror film ‘15’ My reason being because it’s action packed, with a thrilling edge. Also because with a young teenage cast, It will obviously appeal to younger people as they can relate similar situations. Whereas, older generations might not be able to relate to younger actors, and could easily become disinterested and confused.
9. G e n r e C o n v e n t i o n s Genre: Horror Film Teaser Generic conventions Mise en Scene : (Costume, props, iconography) Characters Narrative Unknown marauder/killer with vulnerable/naïve protagonist. Any weapons used will be whatever is easiest to find, i.e. a shard of glass, hammer, kitchen knife, maybe even a gun. Victim will be in casual attire/ party outfit depending on the story line. However the marauder may have normal attire like a suit or jeans and a t-shirt with a mask to hide their identity. Girl who is a victim may be naïve and flawed in her actions but over-all a “normal” girl. Extras may be more flamboyant, extrovert. Survival/Escape narrative. Girl and friends leaving for a forest party- like Skins Stalker and victim- (The Strangers/ Scream) Chase scene Life or death situation How will they survive? No escape- difficult to flight Fast cuts and edits between the “stalker shadow” and main character. Voiceover/Narrator. Technical Rules/Codes: Camera techniques, angles, shots. Editing Sound Lighting Establishing shots, of the setting, close ups of dead bodies, close up of girls, close up of the party, long shot of the killer, long shot of the area and the girls. –(Prom Night) Lots of fast cuts, lots of smudge effects to hide the killers identity. Smoke effect, could have some crane shots for an above angle. Pop music for the party- lively music, current music but not too popular and well known. Lots of orchestral, string music throughout, violins, pianos, drums- help bring out the scare factor of the movie. Non Diagetic sounds also to help bring out the ‘documentary’ type effect. Artificial white light, natural light, smoke lights, night lights, and dark natural light Long shots, close ups of girls getting ready to go to a party. Long shots of the setting and areas of the girls walking towards it. Close up of dead body, Establishing shot of the setting. Fast cuts, Constantly fading in and out of black, smoke effect, smudge effect- help create this lucid villain. String instruments, maybe piano- to create a chilling pretense. Light, faint music.
