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.

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

position i.e. the balances of assets, liabilities and capital, of a
business entity at a given date. It is prepared from the real
accounts and personal accounts of trial balance. A debit
balance in a real account or personal account represents an
asset of the concern/firm.Likewise a credit balance in a
personal account represents a liability.

because of the equation, viz.
Assets = Liabilities + Capital.

25. Concept of Depreciation
• Depreciation is a permanent, continuous and gradual
shrinkage in the book value of a fixed asset. It is the
fall in the quality or value of a fixed asset through
physical wear and tear due to use or passage of time
or from any other cause. Depreciation takes place
irrespective of regular repairs and maintenance.
Thus, depreciation is a process of allocating the cost
of a fixed asset over its estimated useful life in a
rational and systematic manner.

26. Characteristics of Depreciation
The following are the important characteristics of depreciation:
(i) Depreciation refers to a permanent, continuous and gradual decrease in the utility value of a fixed asset and
it continues till the end of the useful life of the asset.
(ii) Depreciation is a charge against profit (i.e. revenue earned) for a particular accounting period.
(iii) Depreciation is always computed in a systematic and rational manner since it is not a sudden loss.
(iv) Depreciation is a process of allocation of expired cost and not of valuation of fixed assets.
(v) Whatever method for calculating depreciation is followed, the exact amount of depreciation can never be
calculated, and it can only be estimated.
(vi) Depreciation is caused due to physical factors and functional factors.
(vii) The fundamental objectives of depreciation are - (a) to maintain the nominal capital invested in fixed
assets, and (b) to allocate the expired portion of the cost of fixed assets over a number of accounting periods.
(viii) Depreciation is must, i.e. it always takes place whether the asset is carefully handled or neglected.
(ix) If the market value of a fixed asset is fluctuating, the same does not affect the amount of depreciation so
made on the respective assets.
(x) Depreciation is calculated in respect of fixed assets only, i.e. plant, machinery, furniture etc.
(xi) Total depreciation cannot exceed its depreciable value or original cost where the scrap value is nil.
