Microblogging today has gotten an acclaimed specific instrument among Internet clients. Endless clients share assessments on various bits of life dependably. Accordingly, microblogging districts are rich wellsprings of information for assessment mining and tendency assessment. Since microblogging has shown up by and large lately, there several investigation works that were given to this point. In our paper, we base on using Twitter, the most notable microblogging stage, for the task of feeling examination. We advise the most ideal approach to thus accumulate a corpus for assessment and evaluation mining purposes. We play out a semantic assessment of the amassed corpus and clarify found wonders. Utilizing the corpus, we build up an end classifier, that can pick positive, negative, and honest evaluations for an annual. Test assessments show that our proposed strategies are convincing and act in a way that is better than actually proposed procedures. In our appraisal, we worked with English, in any case, the proposed procedure can be utilized with some other language.

There are various online networking sites such as Facebook, twitter where students casually discuss their educational
experiences, their opinions, emotions, and concerns about the learning process. Information from such open environment can
give valuable knowledge for opinions, emotions and help the educational organizations to get insight into students’ educational
life. Analysing down such data, on the other hand, can be challenging therefore a qualitative research and significant data
mining process needs to be done. Sentiment classification can be done using NLP (Natural Language Processing). For a social
network that provides micro blogging services such as twitter, the incoming tweets can be classified into News, Opinions,
Events, Deals and private Messages based on authors information available in the tweets. This approach is similar to
Tweetstand, which classifies the tweets into news and non-news. Even for e-commerce applications virtual customer
environments can be created using social networking sites. Since the data is ever growing, using data mining techniques can get
difficult, hence we can use data analysis tools
Detection and Analysis of Twitter Trending Topics via Link-Anomaly DetectionIJERA Editor
This paper involves two approaches for finding the trending topics in social networks that is key-based approach and link-based approach. In conventional key-based approach for topics detection have mainly focus on frequencies of (textual) words. We propose a link-based approach which focuses on posts reflected in the mentioning behavior of hundreds users. The anomaly detection in the twitter data set is carried out by retrieving the trend topics from the twitter in a sequential manner by using some API and corresponding user for training, then computed anomaly score is aggregated from different users. Further the aggregated anomaly score will be feed into change-point analysis or burst detection at the pinpoint, in order to detect the emerging topics. We have used the real time twitter account, so results are vary according to the tweet trends made. The experiment shows that proposed link-based approach performs even better than the keyword-based approach.
Sentiment Analysis of tweets which are extracted using twitter API and applying various filters according to the use . The sentiment analysis is done using the Afinn dictionary which is a dictionary consisting of words with their corresponding rating. A rating between +5 and -5 . A positive rating is indicated a positive statement and a negative rating indicated a negative one and a rating of 0 indicates a neutral statement.
Make a query regarding a topic of interest and come to know the sentiment for the day in pie-chart or for the week in form of line-chart for the tweets gathered from twitter.com

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.
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

Assignment
Note: The below assignment can be done as a class activity, or can be part of a larger research paper assignment. I
use it as 1 part of a social media analytics research paper in my Comm 435 Communication Research class.
I provide a lecture about the core concepts. Students learn to use the Netlytic software in class.
Students work in groups. Each group has a different client they are researching (usually, an on campus organization
or a local company or non-profit). But you could have them search any hashtag or Twitter username.
The lab guide linked below will walk you and your students through analyzing their network. They will need to have
created their own free Netlytic.org account, connected their Twitter account (in order to pull down Tweets) and
have set up their search terms.
Social Network Analysis Data:(We’ll go over in class.Here’s the lab guide: bit.ly/435_netlyticlab)
Depending on what your networks are, you’ll need to choose from the RQs below. Choose all thatare appropriate.
Feel free to create your own. Discard therest.
For networks that analyzehashtags or search terms:
1. What Twitter accounts arepopular (i.e. have high in-degree) in this network and how often is each popular
accountmentioned?
2. What accounts mention others or RT others a lot in this network (i.e., have high out-degree)?
3. What unique clusters existin this network?
For networks analyzing mentions of your client
1. What 3 Twitter accounts mention your clientthe most? How often does each mention your client(i.e., how
many out-degree from those accounts to your client)?
2. What clusters aretalkingaboutyour client?
