The document analyzes and compares the websites of three musical artists: Halsey, Paramore, and Demi Lovato. All three websites share common design elements like simplistic URLs focused on the artist's name, navigation links in sans-serif fonts consistent with the artist's branding, and prominent placement of social media and music streaming links. Differences include Paramore and Demi Lovato's websites having additional promotional content and a stronger emphasis on online stores compared to Halsey's site. The analyses provide insights into how design conventions and each artist's styles are reflected in their official online presences.

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.

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.

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.

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
3. WEBSITE ONE: HALSEY
1. URL: The url is simplistic, but gets the point across to the audience about who the site is for. There is no
unnecessary site domains following the url, meaning there is also no real indication about the domain used to
create the site.
2. BANNER: The font used for the banner is a sans serif font, and is in all capitals. Going off the digipak
analysis for this artist’s work as well, the first album, “Badlands” has the same typeface as the font depicted,
meaning that the artist has set a house theme which is recognisable by the audience.
3. BUTTONS: From past experience, the buttons shown here are typical of a blog interface for the social
networking site Tumblr. The home icon takes the user back to their personal dashboard, the speech bubble
allows the user to send the blog a message, and when clicked, the person icon gives the user the option to
unfollow or block the blog (depending on whether or not they are already following the blog). Another key
feature is the “Get Notifications” button, which, when clicked, allows the user to receive notifications on the
Tumblr app when the blog posts an update, allowing the user to keep up to date with the blog.
4. NAVIGATION: There are 6 links here that send the user to different urls, some of which are contained on the
blog itself, and some that lead to external links run by Universal Music Group. When the link “BIO” is clicked
on, it takes the user to a page that simply reads, “I am Halsey. I will never be anything but honest. I write
songs about sex and being sad.”
5. SOCIAL MEDIA: The icons depicted here take the user to respective social media links, enabling them to
keep in contact with the artist. There are also icons that correspond to various music streaming sites,
allowing the user to purchase the artist’s music or listen to it online.
6. POSTS: This is just an example of a post the artist has made from her social media. She has linked it so that
it can be posted to all platforms used, meaning more people can see the post and are able to engage further.
5. WEBSITE TWO: PARAMORE
1. URL: Again, the url used is simplistic, and straight to the point. A noticeable difference between this url
and the previous one for Halsey is the use of the www. preceding the band name, and the use of .net
vs .com.
2. BANNER: The banner here is lower on the page than the previous banner, and again keeps with a
house style, relating to the band’s latest release “After Laughter”. It is also in a sans serif font, which
appears to be a common factor for many alternative artists in terms of their branding on their websites.
3. IMAGE: The background image depicted here on the splash screen is a moving image (or GIF) taken
from the music video for the band’s lead single from their latest release, “Hard Times”. In this short
looping gif, we can see lead singer Hayley Williams dancing around a set, and stood in front of a
brightly coloured background along with fellow band-members Taylor York and Zac Farro.
4. NAVIGATION: The links provided allow the user to navigate to a streaming area for the band’s music,
a tour site, webstore, and (when clicked) more social media links in order for the user to keep in touch
with what the band is doing, as well as the opportunity for the user to be added to a mailing list in order
to keep up to date with the band, much like the website for Halsey.
5. OTHER LINKS: Unlike Halsey’s website, there are two other links on the page, adding to its
minimalistic style, linking to the music video for their lead single “Hard Times” and their online
marketplace in order to purchase the album “After Laughter”. The bottom of the page (which is not
visible in the screenshot) links to terms of use and privacy policies, as well as telling the user who the
copyright for the page belongs to (in this case, it is the band’s record label, Fueled By Ramen).
7. WEBSITE THREE: DEMI LOVATO
1. URL: The url is again a simple one, going straight to the point in terms of who the artist is. There are
similarities that can be drawn from both the url for the Paramore site, and the url for the Halsey site: like the
former, it begins with the www. preface, but like the latter, it ends in .com (the difference being that .com
was mainly used by businesses and commercial sites, whereas .net was used by internet service
providers).
2. NAME: The artist name once again is in a sans serif font, looking almost digital in its format. It again
appears to be a house style, looking back on past releases (see Demi, released in 2014), allowing the
audience to recognise that the website is the artist’s official one.
3. NAVIGATION: The navigation links are in the same font as the artist name, again adding to the branding of
Demi Lovato and her music. What is notable is that there is a link up here for her Tumblr page, and in the
social media links below, there is also a Tumblr link, which could potentially mean that the Tumblr page is
her main form of communication with her fans.
4. BANNER: The banner is a moving advert, scrolling through two images appearing to promote her new
album, “Tell Me You Love Me”, and a new line of merch that comes with this new release. What is another
noticeable comparison between this site and the other two is the emphasis on the stores: while Halsey and
Paramore’s sites only have one hyperlink visible on the page, Demi’s website has a hyperlink and an advert
promoting it on her page.
5. NEWS AND UPCOMING SHOWS: These sections appear to be part of the actual homepage, allowing
quick and easy access for the audience, much like Halsey’s page.
6. SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Once again, Demi has put links to streaming sites and her social media, as well as
a link to join a mailing list (like the other two websites). This also uses the same font as the nav links and
artist name.
