FORGE brochure
Forging Online Education through FIRE (FORGE) is a project bringing the FIRE and eLearning worlds together. FORGE will align FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation) with the ongoing education revolution. This project will specify development methodologies and best practices for offering FIRE experimentation facilities to learners and to the learning community in general. FORGE relates to communications and IT, as well as to other disciplines including the physical and social sciences. It will lead to a strong connection between the learning community and existing FIRE platforms and supporting tools.
Thoughts on why the world needs open source, and how we can use the ideal of open source to ensure more open, collaborative businesses and business models.

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.
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

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.

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.

EFQUEL Innovation Forum 201: Presentation ENGAGE -Workshop 3
1. The 4th EFQUEL Innovation Forum will take
place in Lisbon, Portugal in collaboration with
the Catholic University of Portugal (UCP) and
the National Institute for Public
Administration of Portugal (INA).
The annual assembly of eLearning and
education professionals will debate how
opening education can contribute to social
inclusion agendas and promote economic
wellfare through better equipping citizens
with necessary skills.

@GimstSouto
2. The conference takes place at the Instituto
Nacional de Administração (INA), situated
in the gardens of the old Palace de
Marqueses de Pombal in Oeiras, close to
Lisbon, in Portugal.
The Forum will start on September 8th
with a pre-conference day, followed by the
main conference SEPT 9-10, 2010.
3. Contrary to a research based conference,
the EFQUEL Innovation Forum 2010 is
bridging the gap by opening debates
between different educational
stakeholders from Primary & Secondary
Education, to Higher Education,
Vocational Education & Training and
Adult Learning.

4. In line with the "European Year for Combating
Poverty and Social Inclusion", the Lisbon Innovation
Forum is commonly answering fundamental
questions about the purpose of quality education for
individual, organizational and society level.
Open educational resources (OER) are high on the
agenda of social inclusion policies and supported by
many stakeholders of the educational sphere. User
Generated Content is more relevant than ever, and
co- and peer-production increasingly at the heart of
content development.

5. On September 8th you can take part in
the Workshop 3:
“Jogos Educativos e Recursos
Educativos Digitais no Ensino: novos
conceitos em contexto curricular para
uma escola de sucesso…? “
“We have been consistently impressed and
surprised at how leading educationalists have
been adapting off the shelf video games
to engage their students in rich leaning
experiences“.
David Yarnton, 2010, Nintendo UK
6. Nowadays pupils are digital natives: They are
growing up with internet, mobile devices and
computer games. On the other hand,
teachers are still basing their lessons on
textbooks and traditional learning material -
often because they are knowing rather little
about new technologies and how to use them
in the classroom.
The European Network for Growing Activity in
Game-based learning (GBL) in Education sees
the high potential of computer games in
particular to engage pupils in the school
lessons.
The objective of the workshop 3 is to train
teachers in introducing innovative technology
based ways of teaching such as OER and GBL
in order to improve the quality of Primary and
Secondary Education.
7. The workshop 3 is partly held in Portuguese and
English. Participants will get necessary skills to select
and use OER and GBL in their own environment.
Beside practical examples and showcases, the process
of embedding OER and GBL by convincing rectors,
colleagues and technical administrators is part of the
discussions as well.
In the end of the workshop 3, the participants are
drafting an individual roadmap how to progress using
technology for education.
Participants are getting a presence certification for the
attendance of the workshop.
