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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

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. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Introduction
1. What do you do when you’re torn between what
people want for you—or from you—and what you
want for yourself?
4. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Introduction
Huckleberry Finn lives in Missouri before the Civil
War, near the Mississippi River.
Huck is young and
uneducated.
With an alcoholic
and unreliable
father, he has grown
up mostly on his
own.
5. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Introduction
Not long before the
novel begins, however,
Huck has been taken to
live with the Widow
Douglas and her sister.
But Huck thinks life
with the two sisters is
too civilized.
6. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Introduction
He prefers living in the
open and having
adventures with his
friend Tom Sawyer.
7. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Introduction
Huck and Tom like to plan great adventures and
play pranks on people.
On one of their
adventures, the two
boys found a lot of
money in a cave
(described in the novel
The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer).
8. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Introduction
One day, Huck’s father, Pap, returns to town.
Pap wants Huck’s money—
and kidnaps him to get it.
9. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Introduction
After a miserable time with his father, Huck
escapes.
While he is running away, he
meets Jim—a slave of Widow
Douglas’s sister—who has escaped
too.
10. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Introduction
The two set off together on a raft on the Mississippi
River—and on one of the most famous journeys in
American literature.
• 2. What adventures do you
think they will they find on
the river?
• 3. Do you think Huck be able to
find freedom—or will civilization
catch up to him?
• 4. Should Huck help Jim or send
him back to slavery?
11. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Background
Mark Twain, the pen
name of Samuel
Clemens, is one of the
United States’ bestknown authors.
In novels such as Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn, Twain vividly
depicts the lives and dialects of
southern people from long ago.
12. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Background
Twain also uses humor and satire both to
entertain and to comment on society.
13. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Background
Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn takes place in the years
before the Civil War.
In the South at that time,
a slave was considered
property.
Stealing a hunted slave was
seen as a great crime—and
morally wrong.
14. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Background
When Twain wrote the novel,
in the 1880s, the Civil War
had been fought and the
slaves had been freed.
However, conditions for
African Americans were still
very difficult in many parts of
the United States.
15. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Background
When Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was
published, critics hated the novel, accusing
it of “coarse fun” and “gutter realism.”
Louisa May Alcott, author of
Little Women, wrote “If Mr.
Clemens cannot think of
something better to tell our
pure-minded lads and
lasses, he had best stop
writing for them.”
16. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Background
Twain welcomed the controversy, however,
hoping that it would bring more sales.
The book sold fifty thousand copies in the
first few months.
17. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Background
Today, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
remains controversial.
Although it’s accepted
as a classic of
American literature,
some critics still
accuse it of being
racist, and its use in
schools has been
challenged.
18. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Background
Twain does use terms now considered racist.
However, he creates a
powerful argument against
slavery as well.
Also, in a way perhaps surprising for the
time, he allows Jim to speak for himself,
revealing truths that even Twain may have
found uncomfortable.
