We will examine Irish, Scottish, and Welsh history and culture from 500 BC to the present. Osher Lifelong Learning at UNM Continuing Education offers classes specifically for learners age 50+.
Physical geography of Scotland. Location and climatedoesntmater21
Presentation: Physical Geography of Scotland
1. Introduction
• Overview of Scotland’s geographical significance.
• Key themes: location, climate, rivers, and canals.
2. Location
• Geographical Position:
• Northern part of the United Kingdom.
• Bordered by England to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the west and north, and the North Sea to the east.
• Topographical Features:
• Distinguished by the Highlands and Lowlands.
• Highlands: Mountainous region including Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the UK.
• Lowlands: More fertile and densely populated areas.
3. Climate
• General Climate:
• Maritime climate with mild temperatures and high rainfall.
• Seasonal Variations:
• Winters are cool and wet; summers are mild and occasionally warm.
• Regional Differences:
• Western Scotland: More rainfall due to prevailing westerly winds and proximity to the Atlantic.
• Eastern Scotland: Drier due to rain shadow effect of the mountains.
• Influence of the Gulf Stream:
• Moderates the climate, preventing extreme cold temperatures.
4. Rivers
• Major Rivers:
• River Tay: Longest river in Scotland, flowing from the central Highlands to the North Sea.
• River Clyde: Vital for historical industrial development, flows through Glasgow into the Firth of Clyde.
• River Spey: Known for whisky distilleries, flows through northeast Scotland.
• Hydrological Importance:
• Rivers are crucial for water supply, agriculture, and hydroelectric power.
• Historically significant for transportation and trade.
5. Canals
• Historical Canals:
• Caledonian Canal: Connects the east and west coasts through the Great Glen, facilitating maritime travel and trade.
• Forth and Clyde Canal: Links the Firth of Forth to the Firth of Clyde, providing a navigable route across central Scotland.
• Modern Use:
• Recreational activities like boating and fishing.
• Conservation and tourism: Canals are heritage sites attracting visitors.
The Great Dividing Range is a major mountain range located in eastern Australia. It extends over 3,500 kilometers (2,175 miles) from the northeastern tip of Queensland through New South Wales and into Victoria. It is one of Australia's most significant geographical features.

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.

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.
