The student learned several key things in progressing from their preliminary task to the final production of a music magazine spread. They improved the masthead design, switched to artificial lighting for a more professional look, varied the model photos with different outfits, and organized the layout into a neater, more mature structure. Through research on codes and conventions, and practice with Photoshop tools, the student gained skills in image editing, effective masthead design, and creating a polished layout that better met industry standards.

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.
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

4. PROGRESSION
The improvements I wanted to make to my preliminary task
was done so. Such as having more than two of the same
models in the same pictures and outfits. Meaning I wanted to
have a variety of images. Also in my preliminary I used
natural lighting, so for the final production I decided to use
artificial lighting as it appeared more professional and give
the image a sharper and bolder look. Also I wanted to change
the layout of my preliminary task as it looked very messy and
childish, so I wanted a more mature and organized layout. I
also wanted to change the Masthead so it would be bolder
and easily recognizable.
So the four main things I wanted to change was:
1. Masthead
2. Lighting
3. Layout
4. Image variety
5. 1) As you can see with
my final production I
have changed the
masthead to be bold
and stand out using
the font Arial Black,
this is different to my
preliminary task as it
looks more mature and
fits the codes and
conventions of a music
magazine better.
2) I changed the lighting on my final production so it was high key and
professional looking, rather than using natural lighting from a window,
which gives a very shadowed and unprofessional look. Also using high
key lighting fits into the research I did as it is what most music
magazines use.
6. 4) The image variety on my preliminary task was using the same
two models in both shots wearing the same outfit. So I still used
two models but I took photos of them separately and had them
change outfit so that they appeared to be in a different photo shot
an makes the magazine look more put together and I also made
sure the images were properly focused on my final production
unlike on the preliminary task.
3) I also changed the layout of
my magazine from the
preliminary task as it looked
messy and childish. I changed
the layout on the front page to
more organized and to look
like a typical magazine cover.
I also changed my contents
page and included a lot more
information and looked more
profession.
7. LEARNING
I have learnt how to make the layout of my magazine better, by using
Photoshop I was able to a more layers and make it more advance, as
when I was doing my preliminary task I had little to no idea of how to use
Photoshop so I tried to make it as basic as possible. But after watching
many tutorials I have learnt how to add more layers as well as how to
edit my pictures correctly. I also had my codes and conventions research
when doing my final production so I knew how to layout my magazine,
compared to how other music magazines had designed their layout.
Properly edited photo through using
and learning how to use Photoshop,
by getting rid of blemishes and
manipulating brightness/contrast.
8. I also learnt through codes and conventions research that my
preliminary task masthead was not suitable for a music magazine
so I had to do a lot of research into the type of Masthead I wanted
and experimented with a lot of different fonts. Also in my
preliminary task the Masthead wasn’t very bold meaning it didn’t
stand out and wouldn’t be good for a first issue of my music
magazine as the Masthead needs to be there to create brand
awareness.
9. I have also learnt how to make the quality of my images
better by focusing properly and using direct mode of address
to create a personal relationship toward the reader (uses ad
gratifications theory). I learnt how to create a bold eye-
catching image with the lights and different outfits on models
and how I focused the images.

10. All of the things I learnt from doing my preliminary task and
finishing the final production of the front page & contents page,
I was able to produce my double page spread from all that I had
learnt.
