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.

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.

2. This is a guide to help you decide
which is your preferred learning
style
• It is important
that you revise in a
way that supports
your preferred
learning style
• If you don’t, then
you may end up
wasting lots of
your time, and -
worse still - you
may end up
remembering
nothing!!
3. There are 3 main preferred
learning styles:
• Visual
• Auditory
• Kinaesthetic (practical)
You may be a combination of any of these,
but more than likely one type will be more
predominant than the others
4. Visual
Revision Techniques:
• Mind map e.g. for geographical processes of
erosion, transportation and deposition
• Form a ‘mental picture’ to try to ‘see’ the
whole topic e.g. Population growth rates…
causes…. How do they all link together?
How do they link with what is happening
next?
• Make a poster
• Create a picture in your imagination
e.g. population pyramids colour-coded to show
LEDC and MEDC
5. Visual learners
• Allow white space between points
• Use coloured pens / highlighters
• Use pictures, video
• Make a diagram e.g. for cave, arch, stack
etc. sequence of erosion
• Surf a revision site on the Internet
e.g. Bitesize Geography
6. Auditory
Revision Techniques:
• Record key ideas on tape/disc e.g. listen to
causes of rural urban migration before you fall asleep
• Say key ideas out loud e.g. characteristics of
pressure systems
• Tell key ideas to someone else or the dog
e.g. positive and negative effects of the One Child Policy in
China
• Get someone to test you
• Play soothing background music e.g. classical,
Jack Johnson, Dido, etc.
7. Kinaesthetic
Revision Techniques:
• Moving information on a page e.g. create
sorting cards for key words and definitions for
erosion processes and match them up
• Associate information with actions
e.g. Coastal Kung Fu for types of wave erosion
• Explain using gestures
• Flash cards
• Walk around
• Use the rooms space e.g. one side of the
room for good points, the other side for
bad points
8. What strategies can you
use?
• Flash cards
• Practice questions
• Internet
• Revising with /
testing friends
• Labelled diagrams
• Writing notes
• Writing lists
• Underlining in
notes
• Star diagrams
• Mind maps
• Mnemonics
9. Writing notes
• It is better to rewrite notes than to
simply read through work
• Don’t rewrite everything, you need to cut
down on the amount of information
• Do make sure you have enough detail!
Summarise!
10. Writing lists
• Lists are a good way of remembering
information or advantages /
disadvantages for a topic
• Write lists as bullet points
• Use small pictures to help you e.g.
Advantages Disadvantages
Lower fertility rate Female infanticide
11. When writing lists…….
• If you use a colour (e.g. green for
good and red for bad) use the same
colours every time
• 5 points is a good number to
remember
• Little drawings are a good way of
helping you remember points, even a
silly drawing will help!
12. Using numbers!
You may be able to remember numbers
more easily than names. If this is the
case try to put figures with points
where you can.
E.g. ‘Higher salaries’ would become
‘Higher salaries, factory workers can
earn 3 times the wages of farm
workers’
14. Underlining in notes
• Its difficult to remember a page of notes
if they are all the same font and colour
• Use colour / different sizes for heading /
key points
• Underline key points or draw borders
round them
like this!
• Use diagrams, lists and pictures to break
up pages of notes
15. Mind maps
• Like a star / spider diagram but
contains much more detail and
demonstrates links between material
more clearly
• Can have whole topic on A3 page
• Geographical processes of erosion,
transportation and deposition
16.
17. Revising with friends
ADVANTAGES:
can talk about the work
can test each other
easier to remember facts if spoken
out loud
DISADVANTAGES
Too easy to talk about something
more interesting instead!
18. Exam questions
1. Use past questions as you revise to
make sure you have the notes / case
studies necessary to get full marks
2. Test yourself under exam
conditions
19. Mnemonics
• Use the first letter of a series of words
to create another word
• The sillier the better! E.g. Bring Soccer
Balls Tomorrow
• Depositional landforms
• Beaches Bars
• Spit Tombolo
• Mnemonic website http
://library.thinkquest.org/C0110291/tricks/mnem
20. Revision cards
• Put separate topic / case study on
each card
• Keep topics together
• Don’t try to put too much information
on each card
21. Revision card example
Population pyramids
Transitional stage:
•Decreasing death rate
•Gradually decreasing birth
rate
•Longer life expectancy
•E.g. Brazil
22. Other points!
• DON’T leave it all until the last
minute
• Organise yourself
• Plan a revision timetable
• Take breaks when revising e.g. 5-10
minutes every hour
• If you are worried speak to someone!
