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.

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

3. Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie DBE (née Miller; 15 September 1890 – 12 January
1976) was a British crime writer of novels, short stories, and plays. She also wrote
romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but she is best remembered for her 66 detective
novels and more than 15 short story collections (especially those featuring Hercule Poirot or
Miss Jane Marple), and her successful West End plays.
Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born in Torquay, Devon, England, UK. Her mother,
Clarissa Margaret Boehmer (called Clara),[citation needed] was the daughter of a
British Army captain[8] but had been sent as a child to live with her mother's sister,
who was the second wife of a wealthy American. Eventually Clara married her
stepfather's son from his first marriage, Frederick Alvah Miller, an American
stockbroker
4. Agatha was the youngest of three. The Millers had two other children: Margaret Frary Miller (1879–1950), called
Madge, and Louis Montant Miller (1880–1929), called Monty.
Agatha described herself as having had a very happy childhood. While she never received any formal schooling, she
did not lack an education. Her mother believed children should not learn to read until they were eight, but Agatha
taught herself to read at four. Her father taught her mathematics
She had piano lessons, which she liked, and dance lessons, which she did not.
When she could not learn French through formal instruction, the family hired a
young woman who spoke nothing but French to be her nanny and companion.
Agatha made up stories from a very early age .
During the First World War, she was part of the Voluntary Aid Detachment
(VAD) who provided nursing services. She worked at a hospital in Torquay as
a nurse; she liked the profession, calling it "one of the most rewarding
professions that anyone can follow"
5. On Christmas Eve 1914 Agatha married Archibald Christie, an
aviator in the Royal Flying Corps.The couple had one daughter,
Rosalind Hicks.
In late 1926, Agatha's husband, Archie, revealed that he was in
love with another woman, Nancy Neele, and wanted a divorce. On
8 December 1926 the couple quarrelled, and Archie Christie left
their house Styles in Sunningdale, Berkshire, to spend the weekend
with his mistress at Godalming, Surrey. That same evening Agatha
disappeared from her home, leaving behind a letter for her secretary
saying that she was going to Yorkshire. Her disappearance caused
an outcry from the public, many of whom were admirers of her
novels.
Agata and Max
In 1930, Christie married archaeologist Max Mallowan (Sir
Max from 1968) after joining him in an archaeological dig.
Their marriage was especially happy in the early years and
remained so until Christie's death in 1976.
Agata and Archie
6. During the Second World War, Christie worked in the pharmacy at University College Hospital,
London, where she acquired a knowledge of poisons that she put to good use in her post-war crime
novels.
To honour her many literary works, she was appointed
Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1956
New Year Honours. The next year, she became the President
of the Detection Club.In the 1971 New Year Honours she
was promoted Dame Commander of the Order of the British
Empire, three years after her husband had been knighted for
his archaeological work in 1968.They were one of the few
married couples where both partners were honoured in their
own right
7. Agatha Christie's first novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles was published in 1920 and introduced the
long-running character detective Hercule Poirot, who appeared in 33 of Christie's novels and 54 short
stories.
Her other well known character, Miss
Marple, was introduced in The
Tuesday Night Club in 1927 (short
story) and was based on women like
Christie's grandmother and her
"cronies".
8. During the Second World War, Christie wrote two novels,
Curtain, and Sleeping Murder, intended as the last cases of these
two great detectives, Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple. Both
books were sealed in a bank vault for over thirty years and were
released for publication by Christie only at the end of her life,
when she realised that she could not write any more novels.
These publications came on the heels of the success of the film
version of Murder on the Orient Express in 1974.
9. Almost all of Agatha Christie's books are whodunits, focusing on the British middle and upper classes. Usually, the
detective either stumbles across the murder or is called upon by an old acquaintance, who is somehow involved.
Gradually, the detective interrogates each suspect, examines the scene of the crime and makes a note of each clue, so
readers can analyse it and be allowed a fair chance of solving the mystery themselves. Then, about halfway through, or
sometimes even during the final act, one of the suspects usually dies, often because they have inadvertently deduced the
killer's identity and need silencing. In a few of her novels, including Death Comes as the End and And Then There Were
None, there are multiple victims. Finally, the detective organises a meeting of all the suspects and slowly denounces the
guilty party, exposing several unrelated secrets along the way, sometimes over the course of thirty or so pages. The
murders are often extremely ingenious, involving some convoluted piece of deception.
10. Many critics regarded Christie's
plotting abilities as considerably
exceeding her literary ones. The
American novelist Raymond
Chandler, criticised her in his
essay, "The Simple Art of
Murder", and the American
literary critic Edmund Wilson,
was dismissive of Christie and
the detective fiction genre
generally in his New Yorker
essay, "Who Cares Who Killed
Roger Ackroyd?".
11. Agatha Christie died on 12 January 1976 at
age 85 from natural causes at her
Winterbrook House in the north of Cholsey
parish, adjoining Wallingford in Oxfordshire
(formerly part of Berkshire). She is buried in
the nearby churchyard of St Mary's, Cholsey.
12. Plays adapted into novels
Charles Osborne novelised three of Christie's plays:
1998 Black Coffee (featuring Hercule Poirot, based
on the 1930 play 'Black Coffee')
1999 The Unexpected Guest (based on the 1958 play
The Unexpected Guest)
2000 Spider's Web (based on the 1954 play Spider's
Web)
These three novels are now available in the collection
Murder In Three Stages.
