This document discusses the prevalence of technology in students' lives and the benefits of incorporating it into the classroom. It notes that by age 21, people will have spent much more time engaged with digital technologies like video games, social media and cell phones than reading. However, technology should be used to enhance traditional teaching by making learning more interactive and engaging for students. When introducing technology, teachers should get to know their students and balance screen time with other activities.
Shared Value in the Pharmaceutical IndustryRobert Au
Final assessment for MGMT90148 (Consulting Fundamentals). Designed as an application of a key tool used in management consulting applied to a practical industry context. The brief is as follows:
Your Consulting Engagement
In recent years there has been a global trend of big pharmaceutical companies expanding their presence and operations into emerging markets. One of Australia’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Medstar Ltd, has been lagging in this regard.
As such, Medstar’s board of directors have decided to engage a team of management consultants from your firm to undertake a market intelligence project to present a strategic business case. Specifically, they are seeking guidance on whether the company should revamp their strategic plan to incorporate emerging markets as part of their long term growth strategy.
The Board Chairman, Patrick Wynnan, has indicated that your report will be reviewed at their upcoming strategy planning retreat with the senior executive team. Patrick explained that emerging markets presents numerous opportunities for Medstar Ltd. on various fronts and would like your team to focus on building a business case on the concept of ‘shared value’. He wants your team to focus on emerging market opportunities in the Asia region.
Patrick was particularly interested in understanding how Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) – one of their global competitors – have been doing with regard to their strategy and operations in emerging markets. GSK was one of the first
multinational pharmaceutical companies to execute an aggressive growth strategy in emerging markets and would serve as a good point of reference in the project.
Although your report will be a critically important input in their strategic planning process, Patrick reminded you that the executives do not have time to be reading through endless pages of over-intellectualised rhetoric. The final report has to be something that the executives will want to read otherwise the entire engagement is a waste of time and effort for everyone involved. The executives are seeking succinct and practical insights.
Integration of technology in teaching and learning is an important aspect of today's education.Here is a presentation on what technology integration is, its benefits, and how teachers can put it into practice.
Technology has made its way into the classroom in a big way, leading to new teaching methods including blended learning and flipped classrooms. But technology should be incorporated in to the language classroom strategically to allow both the teacher and the technology to do what they each do best.

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
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
