This presentation is for the annual meeting of the Association of Independent Research Institutes, for a panel called, "Across the Twitterverse."
Here is the description of the session: Websites, blogs, Facebook, Twitter … Communications and development professionals agree that the rise of social media is changing the way we reach our constituents, and the way they reach us. How do we select the best vehicles and platforms, manage our outreach and measure our effectiveness? This session will explore best practices in using technology in communications.

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.

7. Items popular on NCI’s social media pages:
+ Posts with images – the more unique,
the better
On Facebook, images with photos get
twice the engagement
Videos that explain complex topics or
demonstrate clinical experiences
(sigmoidoscopy, radiology exams)
Science explained in simple terms
What to post
Behavioral & prevention science
For our audiences, items that are
popular on Facebook tend to be
(nutrition, exercise, sun protection)
popular on Twitter as well.
Science with immediate clinical
implications
On YouTube, people like videos that
help them understand the science
Science related to common cancers or
those with large online communities
(breast, prostate, pancreatic)
8. + Facebook
9:00 pm – 10:00 pm has the highest
engagement (in each time zone)
8:00 am – 10:00 am has the second
highest engagement
Post at least once per week. Once a
day would be better.
If you have more than one item in a
day, space them out.
When to post Twitter
Facebook and Twitter are more time Peak times for news-related posts:
sensitive that YouTube.
Morning Coffee
Lunch Break
Toward the end of the work day
Twitter users tolerate frequent posts,
so online chats or constant posts from
a meeting work better here.

for your collaborators & journals (and even
funders!) increases your exposure
On Facebook, your post will appear on
the other org’s pages
On Twitter, your post will appear in
searches for the other org, and increases
the likelihood of ReTweets.

Editor's Notes
NCI usesfacebook, twitter and youtube, with some activity on Flickr
Because we are a gov’t agency, we cannot use a platform until a TOS for gov’t agencies has been negotiated. Just because we aren’t use one here, doesn’t mean we don’t think it is valuable. We have plans for Google+ and Pinterest, and we’ve recently launced a pro account on Flickr.
We have a grantee section, plus options for other grantee coverage: cancer centers and non-centers.
Having a unique news-only FB page, we can highlight the work being done across our portfolio without overwhelming the main page. We also have the opportunity to serve those that are only interested in the news, and do not want health messages.
While there is certainly overlap, we know that at least half of @NCImedia’s followers do not follow any other NCI account.
These are the things that have been most popular on our pagesRE: images, on FB we also post “Behind the scenes” photos with staff, so that people can get to know who we are and what we do.
If you post the same link twice on Facebook, FB aggregates them on your fan’s feeds. Better to use different, related links if possible (release, photo post, youtube link, etc.)Participating in twitter chats with news outlets has been very useful. One with ABC had a reach of 9 million.
When we post news from the centers, we include links to their pages as well as links to the journal or meeting org (FB only).Facebook: mention pages for scientific meetingsPosting during non-work hours means no one is monitoring for comment explosions. Apps to help: Pages*, twitter, tweetdeck
