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.

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

-Must be admitted to upper level before you go.-*COSC 364 (Safety) and COSC 381 (internship seminar) are pre-reqs to internship. 381 will be offered in an abbreviated format for students abroad (but would like to do away with this), and 364 can be fulfilled via OSHA 10-hour certificate (can get online)—the problem with doing away with these options is students who want to go the semester they are admitted to upper level. Ideally however they wouldn’t go that semester.-**This is true, but if following flow chart exactly, you will be three hours short of 120 b/c you are only getting 3 hours of internship rather than 6.-9 weeks of class, 1 week spring break (probably align with TAMU spring break) and 9 weeks of internship for Visa Requirements-Requires 15 hours/week of class, in addition to spring break, there should be some time for travel, but difficult to say because we must defer to our -Ideally, much of these contact hours will be with guest lecturers, site visits, Barristers and Solicitors, Insurance Adjusters Etc.
-Exchange Rate was about 1.6 last time we were there, that will significantly effect the cost.Costs basically inclusive of everything except additional meals, and personal travel/sightseeing/souveniers-Air Fare you purchase on your own, so you can travel early or stay late, or fly on miles/points and save money-SAPO fee includes health insurance and emergency funds-Housing = 2 or 3 bedroom apartments with kitchens in Zone 1 or 2 (central London), with roommate from TAMU-Cultural Events = bus tour of city, visits to sights, theatre events-Texas Tomorrow, 529 plans, all apply—benefit of doing a faculty lead study abroad is that it is just like you are at TAMU in terms of finances-Department, College, and University all have study abroad specific scholarships, and more government financial aide available, so fill out study abroad FAFSA.- Of course in states if you get a paid internship, you would being paid for the 10 weeks.
-Bus Tour of London & Walking tour to all major sights-Architectural Walking Tour-Backstage Tour of National Theatre& Night out at Theatre-Tower of London (Castle & Palace)-Day Trip to Wales Gower Peninsula
-Meals, think about what you would spend/day. $50/day = $6000 over 18 weeks, $25/day = $3000 over 18 weeks. Of course, you would have to feed yourself if you were here in the states, so this isn’t really an additional cost, but you will probably spend more in UK. -exchange rate, and if it costs $5 in the US it probably costs 5GBP in London so about $7.50 -on “holiday” want to try new things, might not cook as muchAlso anticipate being in housing with kitchens, so you can save if you cook for yourself/yourselves.-Remember, you will have long weekends to travel in and around Europe.
-If you want total control of your internship, don’t study abroad on this program. -Had a student intern outside of London at a position he found through parents connections. Had to pay expenses for visa provider to visit the site, and his living expenses for the internship. -Continuing to develop our connections and internship sponsors.
-Plan is to make this an annual study abroad-Summer is 5 weeks, does multiple locations, but still Law 1 and Law 2 or one of those and technical elective
-Online visa application does ask about criminal activity, including traffic violations. No one had any problems as a result. Some people didn’t put in info about traffic tickets, and some did and explained them.
