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.
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.
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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. To end poverty in all its form everywhere by 2030.
More than 700 million people still live in extreme poverty and are struggling to fulfil their
most basic needs like health, education, access to water and sanitation…
The overwhelming majority of people living on less than $1.90 a day live in Southern Asia and
sub-Saharan Africa and they account for about 70 per cent of the global total of extremely
poor people.
The causes of poverty include unemployment, social exclusion, and high vulnerability of
certain population to disasters, diseases and other phenomena which prevent them from
being productive.
5. Questions
1. How many people suffer from hunger in the
world ?
2. Why are there so many hungry people ?
6. Answers
How many people suffer from hunger in the world?
795 million people – or one in nine – are
undernourished.
Why are there so many hungry people?
Poor harvesting practices, food waste, droughts,
wars leading to the destruction of the environment
7. To end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture.
Extreme hunger and malnutrition mean less productive people, who are more prone to
disease and thus often unable to earn more and improve their livelihoods.
There are nearly 800 million people who suffer from hunger worldwide, the vast majority in
developing countries,
Poor harvesting practices, as well as food wastage have contributed to food scarcity.
Wars also have a negative impact on the availability of food and lead to a destruction of the
environment, which is critical to grow food.

Roads, information and communication
technologies, sanitation, electrical power and
water access.
How is industry a challenge in terms of sustainable
development ?
Industry is a major source of pollution, thus is not
sustainable.
28. To build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and
foster innovation.
Economic growth, social development and climate action are heavily dependent on
investments in infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress.
Basic infrastructure like roads, information and communication technologies, sanitation,
electrical power and water remains scarce in many developing countries. 2.5 billion people
worldwide lack access to basic sanitation and almost 800 million lack access to water.
The growth of new industries means improvement in the standard of living for many of us.
Industrialization’s job multiplication effect has a positive impact on society. Every one job in
manufacturing creates 2.2 jobs in other sectors. Also, if industries pursue sustainability, this
approach will have a positive effect on the environment. Climate change affects all of us.
29. Questions

Inequalities can be founded on gender, religion,
income, age, handicap, race, ethnicity, social
background or sexual orientation.
Besides inequalities between individuals, what other
types of inequalities need to be reduced?
Inequalities between developed countries and
developing countries, whether from an economic or
institutional perspective.
31. To reduce inequalities within and among countries.
Inequalities based on income, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity,
religion and opportunity continue to persist across the world, within and among countries.
We cannot achieve sustainable development and make the planet better for all if people are
excluded from opportunities, services, and the chance for a better life.
Within countries, it is important to empower and promote inclusive social and economic
growth. We can ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of income if we eliminate
discriminatory laws, policies and practices.
32. Questions

live in cities?
2. What are the most pressing urban issues
we face?
33. Answers
What proportion of the world’s population lives in the
city?
Half of the world’s population, that is to say 3.5 billion
people.
What are the most pressing urban issues?
Inequalities (828 million people live in unsanitary
conditions), the levels of urban energy consumption and
pollution, the high vulnerability to climate change and
disasters.
34. To make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Half of humanity—3.5 billion people—live in cities today, and this number will continue to
grow.
Inequality is a big concern. 828 million people live in slums and this number keeps rising.
Cities occupy just 3% of the Earth’s land, but account for 60-80 per cent of energy
consumption and 75% of carbon emissions. Many cities are also more vulnerable to climate
change and natural disasters due to their high concentration of people and location so
building urban resilience is crucial to avoid human, social and economic losses.
It is beneficial to put in place sustainable practices. For instance, there is a cost to creating a
functional public transport network, but the benefits are huge in terms of economic activity,
quality of life, the environment, and the overall success of a networked city.

being wasted?
One third, equivalent to 1.3 billion tons, worth around $1
trillion. This is due to food ending up in the bins of consumers
or retailers and to poor harvesting and transportation practices.
Name some consequences of irresponsible and unsustainable
consumption practices.
Food wasting, and not recycling.
37. To ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
If we don’t act to change our consumption and production patterns, we will cause irreversible
damage to our environment.
Each year about one third of all food produced— equivalent to 1.3 billion tons worth around
$1 trillion—ends up rotting in the bins of consumers and retailers, or spoiling due to poor
transportation and harvesting practices, something that businesses and households need to
address
Households consume 29 per cent of global energy. You can take action by :
1. Reducing your waste
2. Being thoughtful about what you buy and choosing a sustainable option whenever
possible.

What are the main consequences of climate change?
Rise of sea levels, water scarcity, droughts, worsening
meteorological conditions.
How can the private sector take action against
climate change?
Lower its carbon emissions, invest in clean energy, and
innovative and sustainable products.
40. Taking urgent action to tackle climate change and its impacts.
Climate change is caused by human activities and is threatening the way we live and the
future of our planet.
Severe weather and rising sea levels are affecting people and their property in developed and
developing countries. climate change will undo a lot of the progress made over the past years
in development. Climate change can also exacerbate, as we are already seeing, current threats
such as food and water scarcity, which can lead to.
In December 2015, the world took a significant first step by adopting the Paris Agreement, in
which all countries committed to take action to address climate change – but there is still a lot
to do.
The private sector plays a crucial role in this endeavor. It can lower its carbon emissions and
invest in clean energies and in sustainable, innovative supplies

mobilize both existing and additional resources—technology development, financial resources,
capacity building— and developed countries will need to fulfill their official development assistance

the Sustainable Development Goals to enhance their effectiveness and impact and accelerate
progress in achieving the Goals.
