Study on Droplet-based Liquid Cooling of an Hotspot using Digital Microfluidicsbgshreyas85
Thermal management in present day integrated circuits (ICs) has become extremely challenging to deal with, as more number of transistors is packed into smaller die sizes. Conventional macro-scale and bulky cooling mechanisms like heat sinks, fans and heat pipes are unsuitable to handle the non-uniform spatial power distributions (hotspots) found on these small, yet, powerful ICs. To tackle this thermal management issue, we present a digital microfluidics (DMF) microscale liquid cooling system working on the principle of electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD). EWOD is an efficient and low power consuming actuation technique to pump liquids at microscale. In EWOD DMF, fluids are handled in droplet-wise by external electric field, thus, mechanical pumps and valves are not necessary to control the liquid motion.
In this demonstration, the EWOD system comprises a parallel arrangement of thin film Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass devices separated by spacer gap of 150µm. The bottom device is patterned with a 3D arrangement of ITO heaters/RTDs (Resistance temperature detectors) with EWOD electrodes separated by a passivation layer. By using the heaters and RTDs in a 600µm x 600µm area on the bottom device, we emulate hotspots found on ICs by controlling and sensing the temperature. A reservoir holds a pool of de-ionized water from which a small liquid drop of 800nL is dispensed and delivered to the hotspot at high velocities. When multiple drops are passed over the hotspot, considerable cooling will occur.
With the help of the ITO thin film RTDs and a pre-calibrated temperature coefficient of resistance data, the temperature of the hotspot before and after cooling is recorded for different dwell times of water droplets on the hotspot and heat fluxes. A plot between the temperature and the droplet traveling time for various speeds and heat flux is established. By using a high speed camera and synchronizing it with the RTD measurement, the meniscus of the droplet on the hotspot is examined for phase change at various heat fluxes to identify and study its effects on the hotspot temperature. This study is crucial to distinguish single phase and phase change of the coolant in estimating the performance of the hotspot cooling. This demonstration provides a foundation to a novel microfluidic hotspot cooling system in current generation ICs and can be extended to 3D ICs.

Designing Blended Learning Experiences for the Language ClassroomBrent Jones
This workshop will walk participants through the course design and development process, with an emphasis on blended-learning curriculum for Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) contexts. Highlighting the work of L. Dee Fink (2003) in the area of Significant Learning
Experiences, we will explore the different types of learning in Fink’s Taxonomy (foundational knowledge, application, integration, human dimension, caring and learning how to learn) while familiarising ourselves with his course design framework. Participants will be challenged to consider how each phase of this framework can inform and influence their own course design decisions, specifically the creation, adoption or adaptation of materials and methods to promote the acquisition of a new language as well as broader 21st century skills. Using examples of courses
recently developed for a content-based English language program for university students in Japan, the presenter will discuss how Fink’s concepts of backward design (what’s important now and years
after the course, and what should students do in the course to succeed?) and forward assessment
(imagining students in a situation where they would use the knowledge/skills, and focusing the learning on realistic meaningful tasks) have helped in both revamping existing courses and developing new ones. Participants will go away with several job aids to assist them in their own
curriculum, course and lesson planning endeavours.

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.

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.
