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
Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
2. Setting
By looking through some Horror movie trailers such as Saw and The Purge, the
settings within the trailers are very dark and the lighting is low key. This creates a
scary and spooky mood for the viewer. Most horror locations are shot in abandoned
‘urban’ environments and this again adds to the spooky atmosphere of the movie.
Sometimes, the setting has some dark history behind it, such as a curse on a
house, someone/something died on the property etc. which would add tension
to the movie because the viewer would know this and anticipate something bad
is going to happen.
Some good locations I could use for my Horror trailer are; a lake, an old house,
the woods/forest, urban locations such as underground tunnels. I would shoot
most of my trailer at night time or in dark locations, because I want to try and
create a tense and spooky atmosphere towards the trailer, so that it’ll be more
interesting to the audience and more people would want to watch it.

4. Camera Work
Camera angles are more expressive and planned, they aren’t natural. They
use high and low angles to show dominancy of characters but also express
fear from the character which creates more tension for the viewer.
A lot of point of view shots are used as well. This makes the viewer a part
of the movie and it means that the viewer wont know what’s in store for
them next, so it’s a perfect opportunity for jump scares. For example,
point of view shot of the character going round a corner and someone
being behind the corner.
Handheld shots are used too, especially if a character running. For
example a hand held, POV shot of someone running from something. This
may be difficult for the viewer to see what’s happening, but again it’s a
good technique to make the viewer feel they’re a part of what’s happening
and it gives you that sense of what it would look like in that particular
situation and how you would feel in that situation, so it gets the viewer
engrossed in what’s happening.
For my trailer, I will use some or all of these techniques, so that I create
the most drama and suspense I possibly can.
6. Sound and iconography
Most horror movies use diegetic sound, like screams from the
character and non-diegetic sound such as gun shots and footsteps.
This helps build up the tension within the situation and again it would
make the viewer engrossed on what’s happening and help as well if
you’re wanting to add in a jump scare.
The usual ‘bad guys’ of the storyline tend to use props that have some
significance to them and they use it throughout the whole movie(s).
For example, Leatherface uses a chainsaw in the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre movies.
For my trailer, I will use these conventions, because it’ll make the
trailer a lot more interesting and again will keep the audience’s
attention throughout the trailer.

8. Themes
#1: The Serial Killfest
The villains that go round and serial kill. Movie villains such as Jason (Friday the
13th), Freddie (Nightmare on Elm Street) and Jigsaw (Saw)
#2: The Overwhelming Gore Explosion
The movies that overuse blood and guts to make the audience feel sick but they
still love it at the same time. The most famous movies to do this are the Saw
movies.
#3: Creatures from Beyond
This is the one that involves something we haven’t seen or encountered in normal
life. Movies such as Dracula and Frankenstein.
#4: The Unknown, Unfolding Terror or the ‘Plot Twist’
This is quite common in horror movies. You think you have the story figured out then
something happens and completely changes the whole story. An example of this is
The Sixth Sense.
#5: The Mass Incarnate Infestation
The zombie movies. The protagonist is surrounded on all sides with no
one, and no where, to turn. An example of this is 28 Days Later.
#6 The Fake Documentary
The movies that use the ‘Based on a true story’ or ‘Based on true events’ when
really, they aren’t, but makes the audience terrified before the movie has even
begun.

9. Mainly, Horror movies make or base their movies around fear. They’ll
use something that people are generally scared of.
From researching all these conventions, I have a better and clearer idea
of what I’m wanting my Horror trailer to be; The Serial Killfest themed
Horror, that uses a prop that will be instantly recognizable. My settings
will be in low key, night time and the locations will be in the
woods/forests and in a house.
