William Cunningham wants to continue using the eMINTS instructional model and technology in his classroom. His goals are to: 1) advance his own education to become a better teacher, 2) continue learning best practices through re-taking eMINTS training, and 3) develop more student-facilitated and inquiry-based lessons that encourage higher-order thinking. He is also working on developing software to streamline classroom tasks and allow more time for teaching.
This presentation was given at the APM South Wales and West of England branch AGM on 21st May 2014, in Bristol.
The chairman introduced Ben Hardy of the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Ben explained that he has been involved with the fiesta since 2000, and the full time event director since 2010.
The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta was started in 1979 by Don Cameron. It is run as a not for profit company with a board of 8 trustees, Don being the Chairman. Its constitution requires it to be a credit to Bristol, promote employment in the area and be free from admission charges. It is known worldwide and attracts some 500,000 visitors each year.
Ben outlined the organisational structure and his team’s role in project managing the event each year. The fiesta costs £596K per year, with an income of £600K which is weather dependent, and so represents a considerable financial risk. The fiesta is good for the local economy, for every £1 in costs, it is estimated that £15 is spent in the local economy by visitors from outside the local area. The fiesta has huge media impact, with 1.891 billion circulation figures worth nearly £2M in marketing value.
Before the recession, the event was supported by key sponsors who underpinned the financial risk, but this is no longer the case. Some sponsorship is gained via the ‘100 Club’ of local Bristol firms, but the financial risk is clear and the event has needed ever tighter planning and management.
Ben explained some of the challenges he has had to deal with, including improving crowd safety, establishing a value for money focussed procurement strategy, getting the ballooning community re-engaged, and attracting visitors for the whole day to help increase foot-fall for the traders. Ben described his role as multidisciplinary.
A lot of time is spent on managing the stakeholders, the local councils and residents. The fiesta is seen as Bristol’s event, but Ashton Court is actually in North Somerset, and so the stakeholders have not always been easy to align. There is now an operations planning group with key stakeholders to coordinate and direct the planning.
For the future, a strategic risk register has been developed, which includes plans for alternative venues. This, and the creation of a financial reserve, will help manage the financial risk.
Ben has found the Podio collaborative tool ideal for project managing the fiesta.

7 Surefire Tips for Remote Teaching: Make Learning EngagingKavika Roy
https://prepai.in/blog/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-elearning/
Remote learning stemmed from the requirements arising from sudden or unexpected events, like snowstorms, scheduled absences, or any other emergency situation rendering students and teachers unable to come for the regular classes.
Mostly confused with online teaching, remote teaching essentially moves the educational content to an online space and there are little or no discussion boards, group work, assessments, etc.
Online teaching, on the other hand, comprises interactive modules and assessments based on real-life scenarios and discussion forums for discussing and solving problems. The lectures are not recorded and the sessions are synchronous and involve problem discussion and resolution.
Hence, there is a subtle and significant difference between both the terms, despite them being used interchangeably by people these days.
Recent studies predict exponential growth in the global e-learning market and the market valuation to sit above 370 bn USD by 2026.
While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has a major role in driving this growth, remote learning has been there prior to the pandemic as well.
However, remote teaching comes with a lot of challenges that not only affect the quality of teaching, but also the overall experience for both – the educators and the students.

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

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.
