Rafiq presents his research on classic and modern games. For a classic game, Super Mario World, he conducted primary research by playing the game himself and surveying others. He learned about research methods from 1990 like magazines and posters. For the modern game Call of Duty: Ghosts, he did secondary research using online reviews and forums to understand player likes and dislikes. Rafiq found primary research more informative as he could directly experience the game. Through this research project, Rafiq improved his research skills and learned how to apply user feedback to game development.
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.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
1. Introduction
Hello my name is Rafiq
What am I presenting?
I will be presenting my knowledge of research the knowledge I applied to the games I researched
and the different types of research available (Primary/Secondary).
What is the point?
2. It’s important to research if you’re going to do anything from getting a game review for the game
you have just created to writing a news report. If you’ve just created a game without researching
that game most likely won’t be any good; the reason being you haven’t gone and researched what
people’s likes and dislikes are and also where you got you’re inspiration from.
Research in general
What is research?
Research is simply getting background information on whatever you’re creating. Looking at key facts,
opinions, where people got their inspiration from and looking at videos, blogs and reviews on
someone else researching.
It’s ok to reference quotes but you can only do that to a minimum because research has to be
everything that you found and taking information from someone else is unoriginal because it’s
meant to be your research findings it’s illegal in universities and colleges and could get you
blacklisted from education in the country.
Why is it key in the industry?
Research is key in the industry because it shows where you got your inspiration from and also the
feedback you got. This is all to improve games and find out what people want in games.
What general research can I use?
Anytime I do any research I will turn to the internet first where i can look at blogs
3. I can look at YouTube videos
I can do surveys and look at other survey reviews
And I can ask a family member or a close friend or someone with a mutual interest.
Research can differ based on time, if I created a modern game but got my inspiration from an old
game that came out years ago then I would have to look at the available resources and research
techniques that artists and game makers used at that time. The way the game was advertised for
example posters, TV. Ads, magazines, books and how popular the game was and the sales it made.
Classic Game Research overview
What did I research?
I researched Super Mario World (released in 1990 by Nintendo)
What special research techniques did I use?
For this task I had to do primary research on a classical game. Primary research involves getting all
the information on my own without looking at research that’s already out there. I did create a survey
and distributed it online and to the public. The first and most important thing I did was play the
game. I also got a picture of me playing the game to prove that its primary research and original.
4. Classic game research in depth
Primary research?
Doing primary research on a classical game involves looking at what media was available at that
time. In this case I looked at what media and technology was available in 1990. Compared to today
technology wasn’t very advanced pixel art was main stream and the graphics at that time wasn’t
arguable. For artists and game makers to do primary research they would look at books, magazines,
do photo-shoots and also play games. I looked at how this game was advertised, they used posters,
and TV ads, also put it on their website.
What did I learn?
The obvious thing I learned was how to apply primary research to an old generation game; this also
expanded my own knowledge of research because when I was younger, I used to just use the
internet all the time. I also learned that primary research is strict like everything has done by
yourself and you have to have proof that it was done by you.
How can I apply this knowledge to my game?
I think id add a controller to my game because I liked how the super Nintendo controller provides
stability it was so easy to control the character, I could easily navigate the player 1 around objects.
5. Modern day research overview
What did I research?
I researched Call of Duty Ghosts
What special research techniques did I use?
The research I did for Call of Duty Ghosts was secondary. Secondary research involves getting
background information from sources that are already out there and also from blogs and sites like
Reddit.
6. Modern day research in depth
What did I learn?
Today doing research is a lot easier because of the internet being so accessible.
Whilst doing my research I learned what reliable sources are out there and where to look it’s mainly
opinions and reviews. What I did was look online at reviews of what people liked and disliked and
just taking quotes and I wrote why people disliked certain aspects and features of Call of Duty
Ghosts.
How can I apply this knowledge to my game?
By taking peoples dislikes if I was to make multiplayer maps for my game I would make them
medium sized and also make the spawning fair so no one’s getting killed a few seconds after they’ve
just spawned and also make the players movement speed equal.
7. Research Evaluation
I found that doing primary research was easier than doing secondary because the first-hand
experience. Like When I played Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo I got to experience the
controls and it also helped me think of questions that I could ask on my survey.
Another thing I liked about doing primary research was I didn’t have to look at research that
someone else created. Everything that I did was original. I liked how I could create a survey and ask
questions that I wanted to know.
During my research for both primary and secondary I think that I struggled with writing what I think
about something and what the public think about the same point. So it ended up taking me a long
time to write a paragraph on let’s say for my secondary research I wrote about a few mul tiplayer
maps and why people disliked it. I took to the internet to look at what people thought and then took
notes from them all and put what people generally thought.
Research was never really my strong point but when I started doing this it has helped me learn
where I can look for quality information and also how I would get my questions and point out to the
public.
