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.
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.

Project Summary:
In 2002, Montclair State University, New
Jersey’s second largest and fastest
growing University, identified the need
for a new flagship, mixed-use facility to
rejuvenate and enhance its expanding
campus, both academically and
physically. The University ‘s goal was to
accommodate the massive building
program in an architectural style
reminiscent of its historic campus
buildings, on the 5-acre site of a treeless
400+ car parking lot, at the outer edge
of the academic campus core.

Challenges & Achievements:
• Size & Scale - The contextual design of the
University’s largest building in its distinctive Spanish
Mission style, while maintaining a sense of the
building’s size and scalability in relation to the rest of
the campus;
• Schedule - An extremely brief and firm timetable of
three years from start of design to end of
construction- and a fixed budget of little more than
$54 million;
• Complex Program - A complex list of specific
programming criteria that included 52 classrooms,
administrative offices for two large academic
departments, open lecture areas on the bottom floors
and a spacious conference center at the uppermost
level;
• Site - A building site that had once been a rock
quarry, making soil conditions problematic. Much of
the underlying soil had to be removed and replaced
with soil that could withstand the structure’s weight;
More than 1000 cu yds of rock removed from the site
was crushed and reused on site.
• Green Design - An institutional intention to
incorporate sustainability in design and materials.

Lessons Learned:
Q: How does this compare with the
other classroom buildings?
A: The building is overall much better
with energy use than other classroom
buildings.
Q: Does the building perform better
than other buildings from the user
standpoint?
A: Yes, it does. The temperatures are
more constant, the lighting is very good,
the electronic locks perform well and all
mechanical system have been
performing fairly well.
Q: Do you get complaints? And if so
what are they?
A: Mechanical noise on the 5th floor.
18. NJAPPA MEMBERSHIP MEETING May 8, 2009
University Hall, Montclair State University
Lessons Learned:
Q: How are the waterless urinals
performing.
A: They are performing fairly well. We
get smell complaints, mostly from
custodial staff. But it is more of a regular
problem with making sure that the
urinals are "charged" rather than the
urinal itself.
Q: Have you used the waterless urinals
in other buildings?
A: Not to date, but they are planned
for Chapin and the new dorm.
Q: Do the occupancy sensors work?
A: Yes, they work very well and have had
very few issues with them.
19. NJAPPA MEMBERSHIP MEETING May 8, 2009
University Hall, Montclair State University
Lessons Learned:
Q: What would you do differently?
A: Pay more attention to details dealing with the
sealing of the building.
Provide better isolation for the mechanical
equipment from the occupied space. The glycol
system and mechanical equipment on the flat
roof transmits some noise into the space.
Use newer model of waterless urinal with the
replaceable cartridge system.
Provide better door closing devices on high usage
doors especially on the exterior large doors. (High
winds and cold temperature create a door closing
and climate control problem in the lobby)
Through bolt all fire and smoke doors (Through
bolting of the closing mechanism would avoid
closers screws come off the door when folks get too
energetic and push these doors past their travel)
Provide means of adequate access to overhead
lights, motors and other equipment for expediting
maintenance replacement/repairs, especially for
auditorium style seating where ceiling access from
floor is difficult at best) .
