Rachel Mendez created a mini movie using stop frame animation techniques, along with a film poster and review page. The movie tells the story of a bullied "geek" who imagines herself as a superhero. She used costumes and stereotypes to distinguish the geek and hero characters. The movie challenges conventions by using stop frame animation instead of live footage and including titles instead of dialogue. The poster and review page complement the movie by featuring consistent images and connecting the pieces together as part of a set. Audience feedback praised the humorous and comic aspects of the work. Rachel used various media technologies like digital cameras, Photoshop, and video editing software to create and combine her media products.

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

2. My products My production package includes a mini movie, film poster and a review page. The main narrative of the story is that there is a “geek” who is bullied by some “cool kids” and in her thoughts she imagines herself as a superhero who ends up saving one of the cool kids
3. How does my media product use forms and conventions of real media products? Aconvention that I have stuck with is the costume of the “geek” and the “hero”. For the geek, I used braces, a shirt and long socks to add to the geeky look. This is quite a stereotypical approach to create the geek look which is often used on TV shows to indicate this type of character.
4. How does my media product use forms and conventions of real media products? The geek costume juxtaposed well with the “hero” costume which consisted of the Superman t-shirt. I used a this because it’s a recognisable superhero and would instantly indicate the change of character from geek to hero. This is conventional because the icon on the shirt is what many comic book hero’s would have on their own costumes (like Superman, or Wonderwoman for example).
5. How does my media product challenge forms and conventions of real media products? The form of my mini movie is quite different from existing movies as it is a stop frame animation. I used this technique because I thought it would create a more interesting effect and enable me to make the “hero” fly. Conventionally, live footage is used in movies so this technique differs from many existing products. My movie could be classed as post modern, because in a way it parodies Superman as the character wears a Superman shirt and is called “Super Geek”. Post modern media products aren’t conventional as the aspects that create post modernism challenge existing products through using things like parody and intertextuality. Another aspect of my product that challenges existing conventions is that there is no dialogue, but I have included titles to outline the narrative and add in some speech.
6. How does my media product challenge / use forms and conventions of real media products? I have used a geeky looking font rather than the conventional “superhero” type font which isn’t usual of superhero movies. The main image is of the main character to show who the movie is mostly about. The angle of the picture was supposed to look like she is flying out of the page to make it look more interesting. This is a conventional angle often used in superhero movies to make the character look like they’re flying. I have kept all the colours quite high key and have edited the picture of the sky to make it bright to make it look more cartoony which is different from many existing film posters, although films like “The Simpsons Movie” use cartoons. I added a filter to the main image because I thought it could show that its quite surreal that she’s flying. This isn’t a type of look that is usually used in film posters which is why I think its quite effective. Even though she is dressed in the hero clothes, I have added a pair of geek glasses to show that even though she imagines herself as a hero, she can’t escape the reality. Its also representing the name of the movie as she's wearing a bit of both her worlds. This isn’t usual of superhero characters as glasses would usually be used to disguise a superhero alter ego.
7. How effective is the combination of the main product and ancillary texts? I think all three of my media products work well as a combined piece as in all three of my pieces there is some consistency. I have used a picture from the movie on the review page and for the poster I have used an image of the main character superimposed onto a picture of the sky which is used in the movie too. This creates a particular image meaning that it becomes obvious to audiences that they are all connected.
8. How effective is the combination of the main product and ancillary texts? The main product and ancillary products all contain the protagonist which clearly demonstrates a relationship between all three products
9. Audience Feedback My audience feedback made me glad that my piece looked comical because I wanted it to look quite comic like My mini movie was “funny” and the music “contrasted the narrative making it funnier” The simplicity of the poster is “straight to the point” and “shows what the movie is about” the review page is “clear and easy to read” and “sets the genre of the film”.
10. Media Technologies I have used a range of different media technologies throughout the creation of my media products, such as; A digital camera Photoshop (picture editing software) Premiere Elements (film editing software) Blogger.com Microsoft Powerpoint Microsoft Publisher
11. Media technologies Digital camera – I used this to take all my photos for the stop frame animation, but also to record the live footage that I included. From this, I uploaded my pictures and footage onto a computer. Photoshop – With some of the pictures, I needed to superimpose one image onto another to make the hero fly, so I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the hero and attach her onto the sky. I also used Photoshop to edit my film poster, which again I superimposed. I put a picture of the “hero” onto a picture of the sky, then I put an image of some geek glasses onto the “hero”. I also enhanced both images, added text and added the filter ‘poster edges’ to add a cartoon look.
12. Media technologies Premiere Elements – I used this to create my stop frame animation. I uploaded the pictures I needed onto it, then sorted out the order of the pictures and the length of each one. I also added titles where needed and music. Blogger.com – I used this to document the progress of my work and upload my planning and research. Microsoft Powerpoint– I used this to create the evaluation. Microsoft Publisher – With this software I created my review page. I placed the text boxes in the layout I wanted and copied and pasted on an image from the movie. I then added the text and sized the ‘stars’ for the ratings.
