The document compares the conventions used in different magazine genres to identify the genre. It analyzes the covers of a music magazine (Rolling Stone), women's magazine (Glamour), and gaming magazine (PC Gamer). Each magazine establishes its genre through elements like the title, cover image, article topics, and color scheme. For example, Rolling Stone references music through its title and focus on a rapper, while Glamour uses pink colors and a smiling female model to signal its focus on women. Overall, the magazines effectively convey their distinct genres through cover design conventions.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

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.

2. The task
With magazines, there is different genres, and for each genre, there is
often different conventions. I will be comparing each of the genres, and
how they use different conventions to show what genre they are.
3. The music magazine
With this particular music magazine – Rolling
Stone. It firstly makes a reference to it’s
genre within the title, since The Rolling
Stones are a well known rock band and the
title makes reference to it. The main image
also relates to the Genre. Jay-Z is a well
known rapper, and in the main article, he is
being called “The King of America”. This title
is reference to his rapper status, as the
richest rapper in America. This relates
heavily to the genre of the magazine, since it
is based on this particular big music star. The
side articles are also linked to the Music
genre, For example the “Summer tour melt-down”
and “LCD Sound system”, for when
you are playing your music. The facial
expression is very serious and the sun
glasses show his power, and may represent
more about how he is “King of America”. The
colour scheme also features red, which in
media terms displays a leadership feel, like it
is leading music. From the front cover it is
evident that it is music related, firstly
because of the model on the front, and
4. Glamour magazine
The next magazine is Glamour. Glamour
refers to beauty and health, which will link well
to the magazine. The magazine is mainly
aimed towards women because of the title.
The name of the magazine is often a goal of
women, to become “Glamorous” The title is
also in the colour pink, which will signify
romance and love. Plus pink is commonly
known as a woman’s favourite colour. The
model for the cover is Jennifer Lopez, Who
appears as a successful woman who also
appears as “Glamorous”. The model is also
looking directly at the reader, possibly
indicating that you could be the same way.
Also, she is smiling, which means she is happy
with her life style. The side articles also relate
heavily to the magazine since they are related
to women. The side articles feature things
such as losing weight and achieving your
perfect body. Also at the bottom right of the
page, there is a 25% Off for a common
women’s shop. The colour scheme heavily
represents white and pink. Pink for women
and romance, and white for modern, Which
5. PC Gamer: Computer gaming magazine
The video game magazine is obviously a lot
different compared to the other magazines,
because it is using an animated model instead of
a real one like Rolling Stone and Glamour.
However, they have the same concept, and this
makes it relate to it’s genre of magazine. The Title
is bold and very simplistic, even though it uses 3
different colours. There is no main colour scheme,
Except for the fact that all of the main headers are
white text in Red boxes (Which represents
continuity) since it is like that in the title as well,
also the sub titles are in White. The main model
links to the “World Exclusive” Article, because it is
the main character from that particular game. The
side articles also link since they are all video
games related. Featuring “The biggest PC
games”, and an Interview with one of the biggest
game developers. On the front, the magazine also
uses gamer jargon, such as “FTW – For the Win”.
Relating to Glamour, PC Gamer also has 2 Free
gifts, Which Include digital products which relate
to the games that people who buy the magazine
may play.
The main colour scheme of red and white, for Red
it shows Leadership, which could possibly mean
that It is the leading magazine in this sector. Also,
the colour white represents being modern, which
6. Comparison
When comparing the music magazine to the other
magazines, It is clear that the music magazine is different
compared to the others. With the gaming magazine and the
glamour magazine, They both use a very simple font,
where as the music magazine uses a which references the
rock band. Compared to the other two as well, the cover
seems to be a lot more plain and simple, with less articles
crowding the front. Rolling Stone’s colour scheme also
seems to have a lot more contrast, which helps to focus on
the model, and relate more to the main article.
With all three of the magazines, We are able to easily
identify what genre they are by their colour scheme, and
mainly the models. Each has a distinct feel and accurately
establishes its genre.
