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.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. BACKGROUND
If we look back upon the history of any society ,we would definitely find that much of it consist
of the stories of the Struggles of groups within the society to change some aspect of the
culture. This is one reason why history books are filled with content of the movements, and the
terrors of revolutions.
The crusades, the reformation , the French and American revolutions, the anti-slavery
movement, the labour movement, fascism and communism- these like many other social
movements have been accompanied by far reading changes in the societies which they
touched.
Social Movements are conventionally regarded as part of the subject matter of collective
behaviour , but they might just have as well be viewed as an aspect of social change.
The study of social movements is primarily a study of social change as well as cultural change of
a changing values and norms. In other words of Sherif and Sherif, “ A social movement is always
possessed by a sense of mission.” Hence, Attention is focused on the interaction of conscious,
striving human beings as part of an emergent collectivity which is the social movement.
3. WHAT IS THE SOCIAL MOVEMENT?
Social movements are a type of group action. They are large, sometimes
informal, groupings of individuals or organizations which focus on specific
political or social issues. In other words, they carry out, resist, or undo a social
change.
Social movements are a type group action, They are large informal grouping of
individuals or organization focused special political or social issues, in other
words on carrying out, resisting or undoing a social change.
4. DEFINITION: SOCIAL MOVEMENT
Social movement can be defined as the Collective efforts of individual or groups are organized into
social movements to project social change.
Social movements refer to any persistent, organized, collective efforts to resist existing structures.
Bulmer defines the movement simply as “a collective enterprise to establish a new order of life.”
It is a large, fairly permanent group of individuals who attempt to influence the future of society by
means of popular action, rather than leaving policy decisions to elected legislative bodies (Steward
& Glynn, 1979:245)
In general , Social Movement is then a type of collectivity , it is not a cultural trend or a precipitous
cultural change. There is of course, a close relationship between social movements and cultural
change but they constitute different aspects of social reality and of study.
5. CONTINUE..
SOCIAL MOVEMENT is the activity of diffused collectively oriented towards
changing the social order.
According to Turner and Killian(1972):-
SOCIAL MOVEMENT is a collective behaviour based on some continuity to promote
or resist change in society or group of which it is a part. It is characterized by (i)
Collective action which is initiated, organized and sustained,(ii) Ideology, and
(iii)Oriented towards social change
6. CHARACTERISTICS OF SOCIAL MOVEMENT
• Expresses the dissatisfaction of people
• The members of the movement expect that something will be done about the matter
• Social movements are highly organized
• Group of people who feel very strongly about a matter
• ‘Propaganda’- when public attention is being drawn to matters
• Influences public opinion
• Have the potential to bring about social change
• May transform the society
• Potential strengths should not be over or underestimated
• E.g. ANC movement before democracy in April 1994 which initiated transformation in society
7. TYPES OF SOCIAL MOVEMENTS
• Resistance movements
• Aimed at resisting changes that have already occurred in society. E.g. against organ
transplants
• Reform movements
• Movements started to prohibit the showing of permissive scenes and violence on TV.
E.g. Movements against the e-toll system of our government.
• Revolutionary movements
• These movements want to replace existing orders with totally different structure. E.g.
boycotts held during apartheid.
• Expressive movements
• These movements concentrate on change among their members in order to improve
their quality of life. E.g. Hippies
8. SOCIAL MOVEMENT AND ASSOCIATION
• Although the study of social movements as dynamic collectivises has been contrasted with
the study of the structure and function of established relatively, stable association, there is
a constant and pervasive relationship between these two phases of social life.
• Social movements do not develop out of a vacuum or a state of complete social
disorganization.
• The members of a social movement are members of a society and of one or more groups
within that society each with its own organization and norms.
• As the members attempt collectively to revise preserve, or restore the social organization
and the normative order of these relatively stable, pre-existing groups they act as
participants in a social movement. Thee social movement may be internal to a particular
society or association, or it may cut across group boundaries.
• A social movement may encompass within itself associations whose members participate
by virtue of their group membership rather than as discrete, unattached individuals.
• Finally, one of the most significant end products of social movements it the emergence
and stabilization of new institutions and new forms of social organization.
9. SOCIAL MOVEMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE
• The intrinsic characteristics of culture which foster continuous change should not be discounted any
more than the striving of social movements but should be dismissed as epiphenomenal. Culture
changes continuously through the unwitting, uncoordinated actions of individuals who not only adjust
to it, but change it in minute details. But changes in society structure and normative order which , in
retrospect, are seen as major changes, usually come about through a process of interaction within the
society, with people struggling purposively and collectively to promote or resist change.
• In the course of cultural evolution, new ideas, visions of new and different order, emerge in the minds
of individuals. Yet a social movement is not simply a creature of ideas, Its consequences are not a
structure reflecting a blueprint drawn by the leaders and adhered to faithfully by the followers, rather
throughout the course of the movement there is a continuous formulation, revision and reformulation
of the values and norms of the movement.
• There is constant interaction between various types of leaders, between the leadership and the
followers, between the movement and its public, and between its opposition. As new values and norms
become standardized as part of the culture of the movement the member develop a commitment to
them.
• Analysis of changes in culture, divorced from the activities of the men who create and use this culture,
presses on us the conclusion that these changes are the inevitable result of inexorable laws of cultural
change.
10. NORMS OF SOCIAL MOVEMENT
• One of the characteristic of a group is a system of norms governing the behaviour of its members
towards each other and toward members of out coming a group, the social movement also develops
norms.
• Since, the Movement is oriented basically towards conflict, these norms relate particularly to inter –
movement discipline. They require of the member behaviour which will symbolize his loyalty to the
movement, strengthen his identification with it, and in some cases, set him apart from non-members.
• In some movements, a norm of absolute, unquestioning obedience to the leaders develops. This is most
likely to occur as control tendencies increase and the explicit values are pushed into background. Thus
the loyal communist is not expected to interpret the movement’s values for himself, he is required
instead to follow the party line and the current interpretation of the values by the leaders. The
requirement for obedience need not be so strict , however. For example, the Congress of Racial
equality, an association within the negro protest movement has an elites of active members who
commit themselves to rigid discipline, particularly with reference to non-violence. But it also has a class
of associate members who support the goal of the organization but do not feel that they can submit to
the discipline. Obviously that more diffuse and loosely organized a movement is, the less likely it is that
such a straight norm will develop.
11. STRUCTURE OF SOCIAL MOVEMENT
• As important as the values which a social movement embodies are, it must
still be remembered that the movement consists of people in interaction. As
the members of the collectivity interact in the promotion of the values, a
structure emerges. Roles are defined and differential evaluations are made of
individual and groups who are recognised as occupying different positions in
the developing structure. Such evaluation are made not only by participants
in the movement, but outside observers. Indeed, It is as a structure develops,
with leaders and their followers being identified as peculiarly and intensively
concerned with the promotion of certain values that the members of a
society recognize that a social movement are identified by the names of
prominent leaders while the names of so many others immediately call to
mind specific individuals who are regarded as personifications of the
movements they lead.
