This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

constructing this product?
BY BEN ANDERSON
2. Blogger
Blogger is a extremely important part of technology that has helped me construct
my product from the first stages of pre-production all the way until now in the
evaluation as I am able to see clearly what I have completed and the timeline for
the products different aspects
Blogger is a website that allows for the user to upload blogs that may contain
different forms of media e.g. a video,a text file, a slideshow ect for others to see
and read
For Blogger’s use in my construction of my product, I had to create a blog where I
have uploaded all of my pre-production,my finished film beginning as well as then
placing my evaluation of my product with all the questions.
3. Slideshare
Slideshare is a technology that allows for the user to create and upload files like
pieces of texts as well as images and turn them into slideshows that are similar to
PowerPoints which can then be shared to various other sites like Blogger as well as
YouTube etc.
For Slideshare’s use in my construction of my product, it has meant that I am able
to upload different parts of my product to Blogger to present in a convenient and
efficient process that looks good.
I have learnt from using Slideshare that technologies that are present to us can all
be connected to each other making them valuable and powerful tools to use both
online and offline.
4. PowerPoint
PowerPoint is a technology that allows for the user to create presentations with
different transitions as well as include images,text,graphs etc. to make a unique
and different presentation.
For Powerpoint’s use in my construction of my product, it has meant that I am
able to answer a select question(s) during my evaluation of my product that I have
created that can then be uploaded to Blogger.
I have learnt that it is a good way of being creative when exploring and presenting
your coursework with it having functions of annotation during presentations on
images ect.
5. Prezi
Prezi is a technology that allows for the user to create presentations with images,
text that can make information look good and for the reader to be interested in
what there is to say.
For use in the construction of my product, it has been used to help me create a
diverse compile of themed presentation to answer one of my questions in-depth
detail that is easy to read and looks aesthetically pleasing.
I have learnt that by using Prezi I am able to show off my coursework with ease as
well as learning how to use the powerful tools that are available through this
website
6. PowToon
PowToon is a technology that allows for the user to create smooth flowing
animated presentations by giving them easy to use and simple tools.
For my products construction, I used PowToon to help me answer one of my
media evaluation questions as I inputted text in to help create an animated
presentation.
I have learnt that the way a presentation can look can change how the audience
perceives it and whether they become engaged with it or not, hence making my
coursework fun to look at and not just a dull word document.
7. Emaze
Emaze is a technology that allows for the user to create unique animated
presentations.
For my products construction, I used Emaze to help me answer one of my media
evaluation questions as I inputted text in to help create an animated presentation.
I have learnt that there are loads of different applications that are available to use
for free to create stunning and unique ways to represent coursework that is to be
presented for someone to read.
8. Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro is a technology that allows for the user to create films or short videos by
giving the user a wide range of different tools and functions to use on their raw footage in the
programs suite.
For my products construction, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to help me create my product with
me using my raw footage I had captured as shown in my product. This helped me place the
footage into the correct order and all as one to efficiently make it look good and feel polished.
The footage was first edited in Adobe After Effects.
I have learnt how use various different tools and methods to create looks that are more
commonly found in real media products like Fast and Furious or the Die Hard series. Also I have
learnt about how my product is able to become engaging to my target audience just from
simple cuts and transitions which give the audience different views of the same scene.
9. Adobe After Effects
Adobe Premiere Pro is a technology that allows for the user to edit raw/as well as
edited footage in a suite built into the program making the footage come alive
and present what you want to present to the audience.
For my products construction, I used Adobe After Effects to help me create
desired looks and effects in my product for example in the gun scene in my
product I used after effect to create the muzzle flash as well as the blood making
the scene feel so much more alive and in conventions of a real media product.
I have learnt that how use after effects as a suite that has loads of methods to
create effects that can be literally out of this world enhancing my area of expertise
in how CGI and similar effects are created.
10. Other Technologies
YouTube is a technology that allows for the user to upload and watch videos that can be accessed by
different users around the globe. I used YouTube to upload my product for others to be able to view.
I have learnt about how easy it is to find information in the form of a video on YouTube.
A camera is a technology that allows for the user to take pictures and video in high quality. I used a
cannon 700D (a camera) to record the raw footage that I then used in my product. I have learnt from
this technology on how to use the camera to get the best quality images/videos as well as learning
what the settings that function on a camera can do.
A Desktop PC is a technology that allows for the user to use different programs such as adobe
illustrator etc. and you can back up files here, surf the internet etc. used a desktop PC to edit my final
media product on as well as to use the different programs and websites mentioned. I have learnt how
to become more technically advanced and to enhance my skills in using a computer to help me open
up opportunities in using programs, editing and so forth.
