This document discusses how to develop researchable questions for a research project. It provides guidelines for questions being researchable: the question needs information from multiple sources beyond yourself; it can be answered through research by finding relevant information; it is not too broad or too narrow in scope. Open-ended questions that require reading varied sources and combining information to answer are best. Examples of both researchable and non-researchable questions are provided. Readers are then prompted to brainstorm their own list of researchable, open-ended questions.

Journalistic Interviewing Techniques
1. Do your research!
2. Find a good subject (person) for the interview (Not everyone has an interesting story.).
3. Keep an open mind—don’t assume you know exactly where the interview is going to go or you
will be in danger of drawing conclusions that perhaps the interviewee is not making.
4. Ask about the interviewee’s actions. How do they reflect her beliefs?
5. Ask open ended questions.
6. Ask questions that make the interviewee give reason and meaning for her beliefs.
7. Understand you should ask for different types of information: facts, opinions, feelings,
interpretations, etc.
8. Be careful to not make judgments with your questions.
9. Avoid asking biased questions.
a. Biased: Don’t you agree that women should be more prominent in the leadership roles in
your faith tradition?
b. Unbiased: Is the prominence of women leaders in your faith tradition a problem?
10. Avoid asking questions that are unrelated to what you want to learn.

It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

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.
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.
2. Every researchable question is one that needs
information from sources other than yourself can't be
researched.
A researchable question is one that...
Needs information from
sources other than yourself
Can be researched - you can
find information to help you
answer it
Not too broad - so general
that it would take you
forever to find the answer
Not too narrow - so specific
that it doesn't allow for more
exploration of a topic
3. Use open questions for
research
Open questions require some reading and
searching from a variety of sources, then
combining the information you find to answer
your question.
Closed questions can be answered with either
YES or NO, or with a very short answer and
require little research.
4. Are these questions researchable?
Are they OPEN?
Was President Lincoln assassinated?
What games were played during the ancient Greek Olympics?
Does MacDonald's or Burger King make a better burger?
How does Hawaii's location and climate affect its economy?
If George Washington had not been the first president, how might history have been
different?
How many states make up the United States?
Why is soccer such an important sport in Mexico?
When did Richard III reign?
Why was Richard III considered an evil king?
5. Now you try it!
Brainstorm a list of
researchable, open
questions!
6. Now you try it!
Brainstorm a list of
researchable, open
questions!
