Art and Culture - Module 11 - EnlightenmentRandy Connolly
Eleventh and final module for GNED 1201 (Aesthetic Experience and Ideas). This one ever so briefly covers the aesthetics of the Enlightenment. I only had a single lecture available to me so it only really covers the topic in a very cursory way.
This course is a required general education course for all first-year students at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. My version of the course is structured as a kind of Art History and Culture course. Some of the content overlaps with my other Gen Ed course.
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

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.

4. Linear Perspective
The Last Supper by Leonardo Di Vinci
A mathematical system for creating the illusion of space and distance on a flat surface. Artists must
imagine the picture surface as an open window. Involves three ideas.
1 The horizon line runs across the canvas at the eye level of the viewer.
2 The horizon line is where the sky appears to meet the ground.
3 The vanishing point should be located near the horizon line. The vanishing point is where all parallel
lines that run toward the horizon line come together like train tracks in the distance.
5. Aerial perspective

and more blurred. Nearest
objects are painted their true
color. Objects in the
background are
proportionately bluer and
blurred.

Developed the first mercury
thermometer with a standardized
scale,
The Fahrenheit scale divided the
freezing and boiling points of water
into 180 degrees.
32°F was the freezing pint of water
and 212°F was the boiling point of
water.
0°F was based on the temperature of
an equal mixture of water, ice, and
salt.

thermometer, first designed in 1780, which
recorded the maximum and minimum
temperatures reached. Designed by James
Six (1731-1793)
23. Evangelista Torricelli
1608 –1647
Invented the Barometer in 1643
This instrument measured the
pressure of the earth’s atmosphere.
A glass tube with a height of at least
84 cm, closed at one end, with an
open mercury-filled reservoir at the
base.
Mercury in the tube adjusts until the
weight of the mercury column
balances the atmospheric force
exerted on the reservoir.
Torricelli documented that the height
of the mercury in a barometer
changed slightly each day and
concluded that this was due to the
changing pressure in the atmosphere.
The pressure is the level of the
mercury's height in the vertical
column. 1 atmosphere is equivalent to
about 760 millimeters of mercury.
24. Rene Descartes
1596 - 1650
A French philosopher
Believed that every idea
should be doubted and proven
Believed that God created two
realities: Physical reality and
what people think
People can use their rational
mind to understand the truths
of the physical world. But
cannot totally trust the senses.
Eroded the authority of the Scientific Rationalization
church and established forms “I think, therefore I am”
of government
25. John Locke
1632–1704
Wrote Two Treatises of Government:
1690
Said government was an agreement or
contract between the people and the
ruler
The people allowed the ruler to rule as
long as he ruled fairly
The people had the right to overthrow
the ruler if he did not honor this
contract
The ruler must accept the natural
rights of his subjects: life, liberty and
property
26. Baron de Montesquieu
1689 –1755
He is famous for his
articulation of the theory
of separation of powers
Thought government
worked best when the
power of the ruler was
limited.
Government worked best
when divided into three
parts: legislative,
executive, and judicial.
27. Jean-Jacques Rousseau
1712 –1778)
Made contributions to political and
moral psychology, active composer
and music theorist, pioneer of modern
autobiography, a novelist, and a
botanist.
Appreciation of the wonders of nature
and his stress on the importance of
feeling and emotion made him an
important influence on and anticipator
of the romantic movement
Believed people should participate
directly in the government they elect;
champion of democracy.
Contracts between subjects and rulers
should not be severed for trivial
reasons.
