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.

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.
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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.

What is Interlibrary Loan?
• If our library doesn’t have access to an article, you’ll use your interlibrary loan
account to request it from other libraries.
When to Use Interlibrary Loan
• If you do not locate a full-text article online, use your account. Articles will take
approximately 2-5 days to arrive electronically.
Note on Books
• If Viterbo does not own the book, your local public library can often get it
faster. We can help you, but it will take longer and you will have the book for
less time.
Note on Dissertations
• If you would like to request a dissertation, please remember that it is not peer-
reviewed. Also, it may be difficult to find older dissertations as most libraries
will not lend them.
ILL Guidelines and Instructions:

6. Goal Two: Using Interlibrary Loan
Sign into your account:
Use your Viterbo username
and password.
When to Use Interlibrary Loan:
1. When searching databases, if you
don’t see a link to “fulltext,” “PDF,”
or “linked fulltext,” click on “Link to
Full Text.”
2. If you still are not able to retrieve
your article, request it.

7. Goal Two: Using RefWorks
• Official RefWorks Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/user/ProQuestRefWorks
• Our Guide: http://libguides.viterbo.edu/howdoi/refworks
What is RefWorks?
Choose “Export” from
within the database.
RefWorks is a citation
management program that
helps you organize your
research. You may import
articles from databases, create
a work cited list, and get help
formatting an APA-style paper.
Access RefWorks through the
library’s homepage.
8. Goal Three: Searching for Peer-Reviewed, Primary Research
Articles
What you need:
• Research articles (studies)
• Peer-reviewed (refereed)
• Published recently (within 5
years)
Locate these from the EDUC 601
Research Guide or Databases (go
to the library homepage,
Research, Databases).
Where you’ll find these:
• Databases:
• Try Education Research
Complete
• ERIC
• Professional Development
Collection
• Academic Search Complete
• For behavioral issues, try:
• PsycInfo and/or PsycArticles
9. Goal Three: What is “Related” Research?
• You need to locate articles related to your topic. This means they
do not have to match your exact topic:
• Research question: Does student writing (journaling) improve writing
skills?
• Age: Middle School
Broader concepts: authorship, writing skills, literacy, communication,
writing activities, student improvement, secondary education
Narrower concepts: dialogue journals, diaries, journaling, free writing,
middle school
Additional concepts: academic improvement, teaching methods for
writing improvement
Most of these concepts can be worked into acceptable article searches.
11. Goal Three: Your word selection is “key” to your success!
• Use Keywords off the top of your head.
Generate synonyms, too. This chart may
help: http://alturl.com/6rf76
• Use a thesaurus. Search for the words the
database prefers. Look at the top of your
screen or on the left-hand column of your
results page.
12. Goal Three: How to interpret key article information.
• Once in a database, look closely at these items to
interpret your citation:
• Use the “scholarly/peer-reviewed” limiter
• Check the publication information (date,
journal title, etc.)
• Consider who the author(s) are and what their
expertise is
• Take a quick look at the contents to decide if
it’s a study by reviewing the abstract
