This document provides the syllabus for an online Introduction to Sociology course. It outlines the course description, objectives, schedule, assignments, grading policy, textbooks, and expectations. The course will introduce students to key sociological concepts and theories through online materials and assignments, including a group signature project. Students will demonstrate their understanding of sociology and develop skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and sociological analysis. The syllabus emphasizes accountability, academic integrity, and the development of skills needed to thrive in a complex world.
This book is about indoctrination activities that exists in certain educational settings. The problematization of the such pedagogical practices is contested. I welcome this controversy. May you freely decide if you believe that indoctrination is never, sometimes or always welcome in teaching and learning environments such as curriculum design and classroom instruction. Your opinion on this matter may vary by contexts such as the case studies that I explore in this book.
This book analyzes mainstream and alternative educational scenes. Analysis is limited to English language literature. Discussions invariably explore both sides of dominant arguments that frame competing standpoints. I sometimes explore ‘third way’ views that may bridge polemic debates.

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.

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.

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.

Course Description
This course presents the basic concepts, principles, and processes in sociology along with an
introduction to material relating to culture, social interaction, institutions, and social change.
General Education Competency
This course fulfills the Idaho State General Education competency area of:Social and Behavioral Ways
of Knowing.
Academic Affairs Objectives:
Learn to Learn. Students learn that as important as content knowledge is, shaping one’s future
requires the development of skill in discerning, applying, analyzing, synthesizing and
evaluating knowledge in diverse contexts. The educational experience at CWI prepares
students for a world in which they are likely to change occupations and face unpredictable life
events. We strive to develop courses and learning experiences that give students the tools to
confidently thrive in a complex, information-saturated, diverse, and dynamic world.
Make Connections. Students learn success in today’s interconnected world requires deliberate
engagement and comfort with multiple perspectives, cultures, and contexts. In navigating
difference and diversity in the natural and social worlds, students connect ideas, forms of
knowledge, and practices to create a richer understanding of themselves as personally and
socially responsible citizens.
Solve Problems. Students identify problems, analyze and implement solutions, and interpret and
reflect on outcomes to develop skills to individually and collaboratively face challenges and
create opportunities.

that are used to ensure demonstration of competency.
A. Formal written papers in a widely accepted style in sociology (e.g.: APA Style) may be
used for formative or summative assessments.
B. Informal writing, such as reflective writing, may be used for formative assessment.
C. Both formal (e.g., in-class presentation) and informal (e.g., discussions or small group
work) oral presentations may be used for formative or summative assessment
D. Rich media presentation, such as videos, picture presentations, or poster, may be used for
formative and summative assessment.
E. Exams and quizzes, with objective measures (MC or T/F) or subjective measures (essay
questions or short answer) may be used for formative or summative assessments.
F. Short term or long term group projects may be used for formative or summative
assessments.

Each student will be required to submit a “signature assignment”. This assignment is designed to give
you the opportunity to demonstrate your command of the objectives taught in this course and
demonstrate sociological thinking. Sociology 101’s signature assignment consists of a group project
which is electronically submitted. Groups will be assigned during week 3 of the course. Topics will be
chosen by week 5. An outline of the signature assignment will be due during week 7 followed by a
rough draft of the assignment during week 9. The final draft will be submitted during week 14.
