Kindles in the classroom
The document discusses using Kindles in the classroom and the benefits they provide for students and reading. Some key benefits mentioned are having the ability to customize reading experiences, access definitions quickly, bookmark and annotate across devices, and engage in discussion through sharing notes and marks on social media.

E book
An e-book is an electronic version of a traditional book that can be read on an e-reader or tablet device. E-books have several features like search capability, zooming, bookmarking, adjustable brightness, and customizable fonts. While traditional books are printed on paper, e-books allow the book to be accessed digitally without paper. Popular tablet devices for reading e-books include the Kindle Fire, iPad, and Nexus 7.

The document discusses the history and features of iPods. It notes that iPods were invented in 2007 by Steve Jobs to allow people to listen to music, play games, watch movies, and video chat. Over the years, iPods became bigger, slimmer, and better but could crack easily. They cost around $184.95 and could be purchased at stores like Target and Best Buy.
Digital Heritage and social reading
Digital heritage and social reading are converging, allowing readers to engage with texts in new ways online and share their experiences. Tools for e-reading allow annotations, comments, highlights and bookmarks to be shared with others, facilitating discussion. However, balancing personal and professional uses of digital texts with institutions' aims to preserve and develop collections presents a double bind. New solutions are needed to aggregate annotations and contributions from readers while maintaining the scholarly value of cultural heritage materials online.
Augmented Reality and Libraries
This document discusses various existing and potential applications of augmented reality technology in libraries. It provides examples of augmented reality being used to enhance experiences at cultural sites and sporting events. Specific library applications mentioned include using augmented reality to provide additional multimedia content for book talks, bulletin boards, and shelf reading. The document also lists augmented reality apps like Aurasma, Layar, and Google Cardboard that could be leveraged for such projects. Overall, the document explores how augmented reality could be utilized to enrich users' interactions with physical library spaces and collections.

A Survey of Techniques for Maximizing LLM Performance
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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...
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
