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

Introduction
Business students often learn about business management or product marketing in a traditional
classroom setting. Unfortunately, this pedagogical method suffers from a major drawback since it does
not provide students with the practical experiences that are equally important as their theoretical
counterpart. As a consequence, students’ mastery in these topics is superficial and thus incomplete.
To address this shortcoming, this project gives the students an opportunity to run a mock business
venture and thereby gain the relevant practical experiences. In addition, it also fulfils another learning
objective i.e. to comprehend the social responsibilities of a business and discharge them effectively. For
this last purpose, the students will donate 100% of the profits earned from the project to a charitable
organization of their choice.
Objectives of Project
The objectives of this project:
• To encourage students to think creatively and strategically in the course of starting and running
a business.
• Understand the roles of human resources management, marketing, operations and finance in
business.
• Understand the social and ethical responsibilities of a business
Learning Outcomes of Project
On successful completion of this project, students will be able to demonstrate the following:
• Describe and analyse the theories of human resources management, marketing, production
and finance and their applications.
• Explain the ethical and social responsibility issues faced by businesses.
• Undertake leadership roles and make quality decisions/judgments in the context of simulated
business environments.

2. Tasks - Methodology
Your tasks are as follows:
a) Form a group with maximum 10 members (with one member elected as the project leader).
b) Decide what product(s) – physical or services – that your group will sell for the duration of the
project.
c) Next, discuss which charity organization that your group would like to support i.e. donate all
profits earned to it. It is useful to ask yourself these questions when considering part (c):
- What cause would my group consider to be worthy or important of supporting?; and
- Why is the cause worthy of our support?
d) At the end of the project, you will submit a charity drive project report in softcopy form. This
report documents and details all decisions made by the group as well as the results obtained.
e) The report should not exceed 20 pages in length (excluding cover page, table of contents,
references and appendices).
f) The report must be supported by relevant documents e.g. receipts, videos, photos, donation
cheques, sponsorship letters, etc. (Note: The receipt books must be submitted separately to a
dropbox provided on the report submission date).
g) Important: Ensure that you quote your sources (in APA style) and refrain from copying. I
conduct plagiarism checks on all assignments submitted. Students caught with the said
offence will face disciplinary action. Ignore this warning at your own risk.
h) If your group is selling food and beverages (F&B) during the charity drive, do take note of the
following:
a. If you plan to prepare the F&B yourselves, then ALL members of your group must
take the typhoid vaccine injection and email the vaccine certificate by 12pm,
Thursday, 14th
Jan 2016 to shirmen.tay@taylors.edu.my.
b. If you plan to obtain the F&B from a third party vendor, then you must get a copy of
the vaccine certificate from the third party and submit it by the above deadline.
c. If the F&B you obtain from the third party is not sealed or packaged professionally,
then ALL members of your group must also take the vaccine injection and submit the
certificates by the above deadline.
d. Submission of the typhoid vaccine certificate or request for permission to sell F&B
after the deadline will not be entertained. No exceptions will be made!
e. Students who ignore the above rules related to F&B (such as selling F&B, whether in
or outside the campus, without the said certificates submitted by above deadline) will
automatically be given a “Fail” grade for this project. Ignore this warning at
your own risk!
Submission Requirement
- Charity Drive Report (softcopy)
- Video segments relevant to the charity drive event (with YouTube links provided)

Group Component
Report Content 15%
Goal Achievement 10%
Financial Control 5%*
TOTAL 30%
Individual Component
Peer Evaluation 5%
Self-reflection video 5%
TOTAL 10%**
* For ‘Financial Records’, groups can incur negative marks if criteria are not met. See the assessment
rubric for more information.
** Students who get an average score of below 5 (out of 10) for ‘Individual Component’ will be given a
pro-rata score for the group components (Report Content, Goal Achievement, etc.).
For example, John and Sally are members of Group 4. For this project, they obtained a group
component score of 25 (out of 30). For John, his individual component score (peer evaluation + self-
reflection video) was 7. Therefore, his total score for this project was 32 (25 group component + 7
individual component). As for Sally, her individual component score was 4 i.e. below 5. Therefore, she
would obtain a pro-rata score of 10 for her group component score (25 x 4/10). As a result, her total
score for this project was 14 (10 pro-rata group component score + 4 individual component score).
