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.
Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. Reporting for Storytellers
Beatrice Motamedi/Newsroom by the Bay 2014

Thursday, June 12, 14
As reporters, we’ve always collected lots and lots of information in order to tell stories — everything from
interview tapes and notes and maps and primary documents to archival photos, videos and more. Fortunately, new
storytelling platforms and apps are giving us a chance to use all of that information. But the pressure to tell
stories in new, faster and more visual ways also is raising the bar for how and what we report. A 20-inch story in
words is not enough.

How many of these old-school storytellers can you identify? With which ones do YOU identify, as a storyteller?
(Answers may vary: Scheherazade had high stakes (lives on the line), Chekhov had command of detail and color,
Homer had direct address/appeal to the reader, Hunter Thompson shocked (on purpose), Tom Wolfe had an ear
for speech/dialogue, Edward Murrow fought for access and had a sense of historical drama, and Bernstein/
Woodward were dogged reporters who stuck with their story (and triple-checked their sources).

The explosion of digital technology — from platforms to mobile apps and social media — is creating a revolution
in storytelling. Whether it’s capturing sound (SoundNote), oral histories (OneStory), social media (Storify),
geographical data (GoogleMaps), videos (Vine), photos (Instagram) or putting them all together on your iPhone
(Steller), iPad (Storehouse) or your website (Narrable, Activist), today’s storytellers have a wide array of tools for
the job. But you still need to tell a good story, and that means fundamentals.

31. NYT: The Way North
Thursday, June 12, 14
This series (ongoing) from the NYT has great fundamentals, including a strong premise (Highway 35 from Laredo,
Texas to Duluth, Minnesota, an immigrant thruway), shoe leather (writer and photographer on the road, not just at
a desk), varied platforms (photo, text), crowdsourcing/commentary (where should we go? what did we get right/
wrong?), data visualization, and social media (#thewaynorth, Instagram). And, great writing.
32. • Not “we talk, you listen” — I listen, you talk
• Many platforms (audio, video, text, photos) PLUS social media
• Multiple entry points (no “beginning” or “end”)
• Be a human vacuum cleaner — get the B roll, collect the artifacts
• Visualize the data
• Blow it up/break it out — consider alt story forms (the “listicle”?)
New (old) rules for storytellers
Thursday, June 12, 14
Some of these rules are new, while others (“be a human vacuum cleaner”) are familiar.
33. I listen, you talk
easy. quick. effective.
Why don’t we do this
more often?
Thursday, June 12, 14
Not only submissions poured in — 1,000 of them — actual stories poured in. And that led to
a “listicle” of places that readers wanted the NYT to visit, including names, quotes, and
information from pre-readers. This story literally began writing itself before it formally
began.
34. Many platforms/social media
Thursday, June 12, 14
The entry point of the story comes even before the story begins. Heisler posts photos as he
takes them, not as they’re published; Cave tweets information and reports key quotes as he
gets them, not as they’re published. Better to scoop yourself before someone scoops you?
35. Another “North” story (video)
Thursday, June 12, 14
Oddly, no video in “The Way North” — maybe two guys in a car can’t achieve NYT-level
production values? But this video shows how much video adds to a story. Listen for the B-roll
— ambient noise, background images, information that provides context/background.
36. Multiple entry points
Thursday, June 12, 14
Multiple entry points to this story are visualized in a timeline at the bottom of the page. This
actually keeps the homepage design very elegant — a big photo, with the nav information at
the bottom where it doesn’t distract. Interestingly, the top-right hand corner — the best real-
estate on the page, reader-wise — is for a “share” icon. Smart!
37. Be a human vacuum cleaner: “Made in the USA”
Thursday, June 12, 14
This extraordinary multimedia story includes everything from text, photos and video, to
archival materials and primary documents such as personal diaries, drugstore receipts, notes
from medical charts, maps, corporate press releases, and more. It was created using a free
iPad app called Atavist.
38. Thursday, June 12, 14
So far, so good (but what are all those tiny icons?). Note the tight writing and strong
figurative language: “ramshackle” white house vs. the doors of the big pharmaceutical
companies; the rhythm of “this interactive explores ... the world” and “And how Kinkade left
it.” Perfect.
39. Thursday, June 12, 14
Each of the icons literally explodes into image. What we have always seen as reporters now
gets captured and placed into the story.
40. Thursday, June 12, 14
Not unusual for a reporter to gather this information. But, until now, news holes didn’t
accommodate this much visual information. Online, the news hole can be much bigger than
in print. What we used to file away can now lead readers deeper and deeper into the story.
41. Thursday, June 12, 14
Remarkable ... a text that is a visual, and again something that most stories in print would
not be able to communicate. This is not only dramatic information; it is damning information.
42. Thursday, June 12, 14
Multimedia writing is tight writing; when you can post the artifact, you can find ways for the
story to explain itself (“see below”) instead of paraphrasing or summarizing, which can
introduce unintentional bias.
44. Visualize the data
Thursday, June 12, 14
Visualizing data is a part of reporting for storytelling. Instead of long blocks of expository
writing that explain (tell) the data, show the data. Here is a data vis from the first “Way North”
story that sets a scene for how America views immigration.
45. Thursday, June 12, 14
A simple data vis from “Made in the U.S.A.” You could easily do the same (for free) using apps
such as infogr.am. You can also make your apps interactive, thereby allowing your reader to
have the same power to manipulate data as you do (why not?).
46. Deeply geeky (and not easy to read, but cool)
Thursday, June 12, 14
This June 6 feature is a masterful telling of a story that could be boring — how the Great
Recession of 2001 changed the American economy, including its impact on various industries
from media to manufacturing. While it’s not always easy to follow, the story charts new
ground in how to use and simplify complex data sets.
47. Blow it up/break it out: The “listicle”
Thursday, June 12, 14
More and more, multimedia stories are collections of information, not just one long scroll.
Here, AP reporters are taking a recent memo to heart by generating “10 interesting things”
that Putin said. If you are doing an interview and you notice a list in the making, you may
want to focus and ask questions aimed at producing a listicle along with your story.

50. Ultimately, good reporting = good writing
Thursday, June 12, 14
Above all, remember that reporting lives to serve good writing. If you don’t get good stuff,
you can’t write good stuff. This lede is 30 words, with solid observational reporting that
results in a clear time element, specific detail and strong verbs. Any storyteller - old school
or new school - could be proud of this.
51. Well-captured quotes, high stakes
framing quote/color
nut graf - why it matters
more framing/color
Thursday, June 12, 14
Well-observed detail continues (hot dogs and tortillas are the literal translation of “Mexican
immigrant and Iraq war veteran”) into a nut graf that clearly defines the stakes (a popular
destination revived by a new population). This section ends with the use of resonance (“we all
come here ... they come to all the movies”). This story sings.
52. The only thing I have wanted to do in my life—and the
only thing I have done somewhat well—is telling stories
…. For me, stories are like toys, and making them up is,
one way or another, like a game. I believe that if a child
were put in front of a group of toys with different
characteristics, this child would start by playing with
everything but at the end would stick to only one of
those toys. This one toy would be the expression of the
kid’s skills and vocation. If conditions were given for
this talent to be developed throughout a lifetime, we
would be on the verge of discovering one of the secrets
for happiness and longevity. —Gabriel García Márquez
So, start playing ;-)
Thursday, June 12, 14
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature, said this at a film
scriptwriting workshop in June 2004. He died in April 2014. The quote is from “Journalists as
Storytellers,” by Guillermo Franco, at Nieman Reports. I like this quote for its sense of fun and
exploration. Which storytelling “toy” will you play with?
