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.

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.

What is Strategic
Management?
The art & science of ‘formulating’, ‘implementing’, and
‘evaluating’ cross-functional decisions that enable an
organization to achieve its objectives.
An ongoing process that evaluates and controls the business
and the industries in which the company is involved; assesses its
competitors and sets goals & strategies to meet all existing and
potential competitors; and then reassesses each strategy
annually or quarterly to determine how it has been implemented
and whether it has succeeded or needs replacement by a new
strategy to meet changed circumstances, new technology, new
competitors, a new economic environment or a new
social, financial or political environment.
Strategic Management | CH1: Introduction February 20, 2012

Stage 1: Strategy Formulation
Developing a vision & mission, identifying an organization‟s
external opportunities and threats, determining internal strengths
& weaknesses, establishing long-term objectives, generating
alternative strategies, and choosing particular strategies to
pursue.
Deciding what new businesses to enter, what businesses to
abandon, how to allocate resources, whether to expand
operations or diversify, whether to enter international
markets, whether to merge or form a joint venture.
Limited resources (decide which alternatives will benefit firm
most) | Wrong decisions (enduring negative impact)

Stage 2: Strategy
Implementation

Three fundamental activities

strategies

Why Companies Do No
Strategic Planning?
Poor Reward Structures (penalized for failures, individuals prefer to
play safe)
Fire-Fighting, too busy with crisis management so no time to plan
Waste of Time, time spent on planning is an investment
Too Expensive, organizations culturally opposed to spending
resources
Content with success (success today doesn‟t guarantee success
tomorrow)
Overconfidence, as individuals gain experience they rely less on
formal planning
