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.

What is the prewriting stage? The prewriting stage is when you
think carefully and organize your ideas for your paragraph before
you begin writing.
Six Prewriting Steps:
1. Think carefully about what you are going to write.
Ask yourself: What question am I going to answer in this paragraph or
essay? How can I best answer this question? What is the most
important part of my answer? How can I make an introductory sentence
(or thesis statement) from the most important part of my answer? What
facts or ideas can I use to support my introductory sentence? How can I
make this paragraph or essay interesting? Do I need more facts on this
topic? Where can I find more facts on this topic?
11. Continued…
2. Open your notebook.
Write out your answers to the above questions. You do not need
to spend a lot of time doing this; just write enough to help you
remember why and how you are going to write your paragraph
or essay.
12. Continued…
3. Collect facts related to your paragraph or essay topic.
Look for and write down facts that will help you to answer your
question. Timesaving hint: make sure the facts you are writing
are related to the exact question you are going to answer in your
paragraph or essay.
13. Continued…
4. Write down your own ideas.
Ask yourself: What else do I want to say about this topic?
Why should people be interested in this topic? Why is this
topic important?
14. Continued…
5. Find the main idea of your paragraph or essay.
Choose the most important point you are going to
present.
15. Continued…
6. Organize your facts and ideas in a way that develops your main
idea.
Once you have chosen the most important point of your paragraph or essay, you
must find the best way to tell your reader about it. Look at the facts you have
written. Look at your own ideas on the topic. Decide which facts and ideas will
best support the main idea of your paragraph. Once you have chosen the facts
and ideas you plan to use, ask yourself which order to put them in the paragraph.
Write down your own note set that you can use to guide yourself as you write your
paragraph or essay.
