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 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.

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.

Use of Coulsdon College Film Studies AS Blog
A core part of your learning, and assessment of your progress, will be done through
the Coulsdon Sixth Form College FilmStudies AS blog. This blog will be a resource for
you to use in and out of class to development your learning.
You will also create your own dedicated Film Studies AS level blog, that you will use
6. to post analyses and reflections on your learning. Your teacher will give you more
detail on how this will all work at the beginning of the course.
Watching films outside of class
The more diverse range of films you watch outside of class, the better you will
become at analysing films, and creating films. You will be set specific filmwatching
tasks throughout the course, including a weekly analysis of a filmof your choice. This
analysis will be put on your blog, and included on a master list of films watched by all
members of the class on the wall in Room 200. This is to encourage you to want to
watch more films! Most of the case study titles should be available digitally on the
colleges E-Stream account or on DVD from the ILC.
Homework
You will be set other homework as well as the weekly film analysis task. This
homework will be related to classroomcontent, and will be set on average twice a
week. This homework is not optional, and is a core aspect of your successful
learning. You should be aiming to be spending approximately 4 hours per week on
homework for Film Studies, not including your weekend film analysis task.
Assessed Work
Throughout the course, you will be submitting different types of assessed work.
Assessed work is work that your teacher will either give you written feedback and/or
a grade. These types of assessments will include mock exam unit questions taken in
class, homework blog posts, coursework drafts, coursework final versions, and
weekly summary assessments by your teacher posted on your blog. Deadlines for
assessed work are non-negotiable, and failure to meet ANY deadlines can result in
disciplinary measures. Persistent non-submission of assessed work can also lead to
withdrawal from the examination/coursework.
Independent Research & Reading
As well as specific research tasks you will set throughout the year, you will also be
expected to read text books that will enhance your knowledge and understanding.
Although we do not recommend a specific set text book for the course, there are
many great books about filmfor you to use. Please see resources list on blog.
Analysing films in class and note taking
This year you will be watching a variety of different films in class. These will be a
combination of entire films and extracts. You will need to make detailed notes in
class on the texts as you watch them. Please make sure you keep a dedicated
notebook for Film Studies that you can keep all of your notes in. This is essential for
successful revision and meeting assessment criteria. Case study information and
Summary sheet templates are available.
7. Practical Work
One piece of your assessed coursework is a Creative Project. This project will allow
you to develop your creative skills in filmmaking. This practical work will involve you
working in a group with other students, and is for many students the highlight of the
course. I would encourage you also to, if possible, develop your practical skills by
using camcorders outside of class, not just related to your coursework. Practice and
experience can help your in AS grade.
Equipment
For your creative project, you will be provided with equipment by the college. This
will include a camcorder and tripod, and other specialist equipment. Some
equipment will be provided to you by your teacher, but you may also need to
borrow other equipment from the Media Technician, Graham Osborne. All
equipment borrowed must be returned on time and in the condition in which it was
lent to you.
Trips
The trips planned for this year are to a seminar and screenings as part of the BFI 59th
London Film Festival during the months of September and between 7-18th October.
More details on this trip will be given to you by your teacher.
Health & Safety
Your health and safety is of paramount importance to Coulsdon Sixth Form College.
As Film Studies students, you will have the opportunity to film both inside and
outside of college. As part of this filming, you will have to risk assess the
environments in which you want to film. This is standard industry practice, and is
essential for you remain safe when carrying out practical work.
Films Shown in Class and ‘Core Texts’
For your examination, you will be studying 4 core texts: for ‘Living in Crime’ unit,
‘Fish Tank’ and ‘My Brother the Devil’, and for the US comparative study, ‘Inglorious
Basterds’ and ‘Miracle at St Anna’. You will watch the films in their entirety in class,
and you will also be given the opportunity to watch them in revision screenings. If
you can purchase the DVDs to use outside of class as well, this would be of benefit to
your studies.
Use of Terminology
You will be learning a significant amount of new terminology this year related to
analysis of films. Revisiting terms you have studied in class outside of class will
enhance your knowledge and understanding throughout the course.
8. FM1 Filming Week
In early 2016, you will have an allocated week of lessons in which you will be filming
your Creative Project. In the lessons that week, you will filmmost of your footage for
your projects on site, with the assistance of your teacher and/or the Media
Technician. For students who wish to film any footage off site, this will need to be
done outside of college hours. You will need to pre-arrange this with your teacher,
and equipment should be available to borrow if needed.
FM1 Editing Week
After your filming week, you will have an allocated editing week for your projects.
This editing will take place in the Resource Area Apple Mac computers. You will have
allocated lesson time to edit, and will be able to access the Macs outside of lessons
to work on your project. You will be using iMovie to edit. Adobe Premiere or Final
Cut Pro is also available if you are experienced with this software.
Library Resources
Please see attached specific Independent Learning Centre resources that are
available for Film Studies. Using these resources will improve your grade.
Internet Resources
Please see the list of internet resources on the Film Studies AS blog.
Plagiarism Policy
The College has a very clear Policy which is available to all students on Moodle in the
Assessment Policy: Malpractice.
Plagiarismoccurs when a person uses other people’s thoughts or writing and
presents them as his/her own, that is without clearly acknowledging the source of
the information. It can take several forms, including directly copying another
person’s work, from the Internet, a book, another learner’s assignment,
paraphrasing another person’s work, cutting and pasting together sections of work
of others into a new whole or receiving material help from other people while
producing an assignment.
Submitted coursework that has been deemed by the College or the Exam Board to
be copied may not be marked or lead to being disqualified.
