Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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

10. Why Web 2.0 with ELLs?
According to Langer (2010), beginners feel safer, more
anonymous
Silent period
ELLs (English Language Learners) using Web 2.0 are in control
Record, rerecord until satisfied with outcome
Web 2.0 forgives errors (Langer, 2010)
Encourages ELLs to:
Explore
Engage
Create
Collaborate
Edit
Share
Langer (2010) shows ELLs’ vulnerability to
advertisement

19. Perceptions
According to Dr. Steven Michael Garcia (2010),
secondary teachers experienced Web 2.0 fostering
communication/interaction and cooperation with
peers in a positive way.
Dr. Oksana Vorobel (2013) demonstrates the favorably
open participation of adolescent ELLs in the training on
Web 2.0 websites, writing online, reading peer’s
writing, and providing feedback in a written form.
20. Percepciones
De acuerdo con el Dr. Steven Michael Garcia (2010),
maestros de secundaria tuvieron experiencia con Web
2.0 mejorando la comunicación/interacción y
cooperación con los compañeros positivamente.
La Dra. Oksana Vorabel (2013) demuestra
favorablemente la participación de los adolecentes
aprendiendo inglés como segundo idioma en el
entrenamiento en Web 2.0, escribiendo en el Internet,
leyendo escritos de compañeros, y regresando
información por escrito.
21. Professional Development
Results of the t-test comparing pre- and post-study TICS
(Technology Integration Confidence Scale) survey on
secondary level participants indicated a statistically
significant difference in the confidence levels of
participants after completion of the Web 2.0 teacher
technology training program, according to Dr. Tracey
Eatherton (2014).
Supported work from Egorov, et al. (2007) pre-service
English teachers increased their skills and confidence
with a raise in technology application in their own
classes (Eatherton, 2014).
22. Desarrollo Profesional
Los resultados del t-test comparando los estudios
previos y posteriores de la encuesta TICS con los
participantes de secundaria indicaron una diferencia
estadísticamente significante en el nivel de confianza
después del programa de entrenamiento en Web 2.0, de
acuerdo a la Dra. Tracey Eatherton (2014).
El trabajo de Egorov, et al. (2007) apoya la información
anterior con el estudio de maestros de inglés en su
entrenamiento aumenta las habilidades y confianza
con un aumento en la aplicación de tecnología en sus
clases (Eatherton, 2014).
