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.

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.

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.
2. The Language of Algebra
Webster defined language as a systematic means of communicating ideas
and feelings by the use of conventionalized sign, gestures, marks, and
especially articulate vocal sound. Some such signs and symbols have
become internationally known and can be understood by Europeans, Asians,
or Americans. For instance, in the sentence below, can you replace the
symbols with the word or words they suggest?
Man in his pursuit for power should remember to
uphold

3. I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of this presentation, the students are
expected to
1. Acquire sufficient vocabulary to enable them to
interpret algebraic expressions and to translate
verbal statements to the language of algebra.
2. Appreciate the role of Algebra in expressing
mathematical ideas in a universal language
understood by all people.
3. Use the language of algebra in translating
mathematical phrases and sentences.jrbt 2014
4. II. MATHEMATICAL SYMBOL
The language of algebra is made up of
a. Digits: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
b. Letters to represent numbers: x,y,z,etc.
c. Operational symbols as indicated in
the next slide.
jrbt 2014

e. ( ) quantities in the parenthesis to be treated as a
single quantity
Note that most of this symbols are not strange to you.
They are the same symbols used in arithmetic but with
slight deviation. For instance, in algebra the x sign has
ceased to become the usual symbol for multiplication.
Instead the raised dot and the parenthesis have become
the indications for multiplication. Thus:
(1) Three times four is 3 • 4 or 3( 4 )
(2) a times b is denoted as a • b or (a) (b) or just plain abjrbt 2014
7. Where the letter are involved the sign of multiplication
may be entirely omitted. .
The main difference between the language of algebra and
the language of arithmetic lies in the use of letters to
represent numbers. Such letters are sometimes referred
to as general numbers because they can stand for any
number or any unspecified quantity.
“ Isa at
dalawa”
“ One plus

The people making the above statements could have
understood each other instantly had they use the
language of mathematics.jrbt 2014
8. Verbal Expression Symbols
1. a. Eight increased by nine gives
seventeen
b. The sum of eight and nine is
seventeen
c. Nine added to eight gives
seventeen
8 ÷ 9 = 17
2. Five times the sum of six and twelve 5 ( 6 + 12 )
3. a. Certain number increased by ten.
b. Ten more than a number
c. Juan’s age ten years hence.
d. Lynss’s money if she has ten
pesos more the Remy
x + 10
( Any letter can take the place of that
certain number; thus n + 10 is another
translation. )
4. a. A number decreased by five.
b. Five less than a certain number.
c. The difference between a certain
number and five.
d. Carmen’s age five years ago
x - 5
5. The quotient of a divided by b added
to the product of a and b.
a/b + ab
6. Twice a certain number increased by 2x + 5 = 15
jrbt 2014
9. Note that in every expression there are at least two
quantities which are related to each other by some
operation. When all the quantities are specified , a
numerical sentence or phrase is obtained as in example
1 and 2
When one of the quantities is not specified, a letter is
used to represent it and an open phrase , as in example
3, or an open sentence as in example 6, may be
obtained. One symbol can have different equivalents.
Thus the plus sign (+) could stand for “increased by,
added to, “etc. Likewise, an open phrase may have
varied interpretations. So aside from what has been
stated in example 3, n + 10 may mean 10 more green
apples than the number of red apples.

DOMAIN
Mathematical Expressions
In Mathematics as in English we have
expressions called phrases and sentences. A
comparison of English phrases and sentences
with mathematical phrases and sentences is
shown in the next slide.
jrbt 2014
13. In English In Mathematics
English expressions can be classified
into
Mathematical expressions can be
classified into
I. A phrase – a group of words which
does not express a complete
thought.
Example: Most beautiful Woman in
the world
1. Arithmetical expressions composed
of:
A. Numerical Phrases
Example:
a. 6 – 1
b. 3 x 2 + 6 - 8
II. A sentence – a word or group of
words that conveys a compulete
thought.
Example:
a. Go.
b. She is one of the most
beautiful woman in the world.
This sentence is neither true of false
until we give the antecedent or
replacement of she. It is an open
sentence.
c. Mt. Mayon is the most beautiful
volcano in the world.
B. Numerical or arithmetical
sentences.
Example:
1. 3 x 2 = 4 + 2
2. 12 – 19 > 7
II. Algebraic expressions composed of :
A. Open phrase
Examples:
1. ? + 9
2. n – 8
B. Open Sentences
Examples:
1. 2x – 8 = 4
jrbt 2014
14. only 5, and 3x2+6-8 is a symbol for 4 and only 4.
An arithmetical or a numerical phrase sentences is a
statement of relationship between two phrases. The
relationship might be one of equality of inequality. The
sentence may be true or false.
An open phrase, sometimes called algebraic phrase, is a
numeral for an indefinite number. N + 9 stands for an
indefinite number. Its value depends, upon the replacement
of the unspecified quantity n. It is 9 when n = 0; 24 when n =
15. An open phrase is a mathematical expression which
contains one or more letters to represent the unspecified
number.
An open sentence, is a statement of relationship between
two mathematical phrases, at least one of which is an open
phrase. It is a sentence which is neither true of false. 2x – 8=
4 states the equality between the open phrase 2x-8 and the
arithmetical phrase 4. its truth or falsity will be determined by
the given value of x.
jrbt 2014
15. Unknowingly, you have been making open sentences.
Actually the sentences, “a certain number is increased
by five equals three” is an open sentence. The phrase a
“certain number” can be indicated by other symbols
that will denote the missing link needed to make the
sentence true. Some symbols are given below.
_____ + 5 = 3 * + 5 = 3
? + 5 = 3 ∆ + 5 = 3
Instead of using (____), ( ? ), (* ), or (∆), mathematics
often use a letter in place of the unknown number. If the
letter is used, then the sentence becomes
x + 5
or n + 5
jrbt 2014
16. makes the sentence true is called the truth set or solutions set.
In x + 5 = 3, the truth set or solution set is -2. the truth set or
solution set is selected from a given set is called the universal
set or the domain of the variable. Since the elements of the
domain are possible replacement for the variable, it is also
known as the replacement set. To illustrate the use of the
domain in x + 5 = 3,
Example 1:
Domain: {counting numbers}
Truth set:{ } because no counting number will satisfy the
equation
Example 2:
Domain: {rational numbers}
Truth set: {-2}
When the domain of a variable is not specified; let us agree to
use the rational numbers.
jrbt 2014
18. Coefficients
When one number can be divided by another with a remainder of zero,
the second number is called a factor of the first. Thus 4 is a factor of 24
because 24 ÷ 4 + 6 with a remainder of zero and because 6 x 4 = 24.
But 4 is not a factor of 10 because 10 + 4 has a remainder and also 4 x 2
does not give 10. In symbols, we say a and b are factors of c if a • b = c
and c/a = b; c/b = a,
In algebra when tow or more number symbols are multiplied to form a
product, each symbol is called the coefficient of the other. Thus;
a. in 2x 2 is the coefficient of x;
x is the coefficient of 2
b. in 3ay 3 is the coefficient of ay;
a is the coefficient of 3y
y is the coefficient of 3x
The number factor is called the numerical coefficient. The letter factor is called
the literal coefficient . When no number is written before a letter as in x or xy, the
numerical coefficient is understoo to by 1. unless otherwise specified, the term
“coefficient” generally refers to numerical coefficient. Thus, the coefficient of 5cd
is 5.
jrbt 2014
19. in many situations. Take the addition to a number to itself;
n+n+n+n+n can be solved very easily and written even more
quickly if we take n five times and write it 5n. Similarly the
multiplication of three or more numbers can simply be
expressed by its indicated products as abcd instead of
a.b.c.d, etc. This shortening process comes in more
effectively when we wish to multiply a number several times
by itself. Hence, 3 x 3 can be expressed a 32; and 2x2x2 as
23 read as “three squares” and “two cubes” respectively,
Using variables, we have x.x = x y.y.y = y read as “x square”
and “y cube” .
This process of multiplying a number by itself two or more
times is called raising to a power. Hence, the process of
multiplying 3 by itself 2 times is indicated as (3)2 , meaning
3x3= 9; that of taking 2 five times by itself is (2)5 = 25 or 32,
obtained by performing 2x2x2x2x2. Note that (3)2 indicates
that 3 is to be squared while 32 is the answer and is only
another name of 9.
jrbt 2014
20. This process of raising a number to a power
involves 3 terms; the base, the exponents and
the power. Discover the meaning of each term
from the given examples.
Multiplication Raising to a
power
Base Exponent Power
4 • 4 = 16 (4)2 = 42 or

4 2 42 or 16
2 • 2 • 2 = 8 (2)3 = 23 or 8 2 3 23 Or 8
x • x •x • x (x)4 = x4 x 4 x4
jrbt 2014
21. Scientific Notation
Writing a number by scientific notations is one of the
useful applications of powers and exponents. By this
method one can express a very large or very small
number in a compact way. Since only positive exponents
have been considered, this section will be limited to
expressing only very large numbers by scientific notation.
Do you know that
a. Light travel at the rate of 669,600,000 miles per hour?
b. The diameter of the Earth is 41,800,000 fet?

22. Big numbers can be easily expressed and read
in scientific notation or standard notation. By this
method a number is renamed as the products of
two factors. One factor is a power of 10 and the
