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

1. What is plagiarism?
(And why you should care!)
Presented by
Ms. Hennessy
Library Information Specialist
Taken from: Power Tools
Recharged by Joyce Kasman
Valenza (2004).
2. Definition
Plagiarism is the act of
presenting the words, ideas,
images, sounds, or the creative
expression of others as your own.
3. I sometimes copy from a friend’s work.
I sometimes copy and paste blocks of text from
electronic sources without giving credit to the author.
I sometimes use photos, clip art, and video clips
from websites without acknowledging the creator.
I change a few words if I borrow from the work of
another person when presenting it as my own.
Consider these scenarios...
4. If…
• you have copied,
included, or downloaded
the words and ideas of
others in your work that
you neglected to cite,
OR
• you have had help you
wouldn’t want your
teacher to know about…
5. Two types of plagiarism
• Intentional
• Copying a friend’s
work
• Buying or borrowing
papers
• Cutting and pasting
blocks of text from
electronic sources
without documenting
• Media “borrowing”
without documentation
• Web publishing
without permissions of
creators
• Unintentional
• Careless paraphrasing
• Poor documentation
• Quoting excessively
• Failure to use your own
“voice”
6. Lots of excuses…
It’s okay if
I don’t get caught!
I was too busy to
write that paper!
(Job, big game, too much homework!)
My teachers
expect
too much!
I’ve got to get
into
??? U.!
My parents
expect “A”s!
This assignment
was BORING!
Everyone does it!
No one gets caught!
7. But it’s still cheating!
• When you copy, you cheat
yourself.
• The consequences are not
worth the risks!
• It is only right to give credit to
authors whose ideas you use.
• Citing gives authority to the
information you present.
• Citing makes it possible for your
readers to locate your source.
• Cheating is unethical behavior.
Is your
academic
reputation
valuable
to you?
8. But everyone does it!
“A study of almost 4,500 students at 25 schools,
suggests cheating is . . . a significant problem in
high school — 74% of the respondents admitted to
one or more instances of serious test cheating and
72% admitted to serious cheating on written
assignments. Over half of the students admitted
they have engaged in some level of plagiarism
on written assignments using the Internet”
(CAI).
Based on the research of Donald L. McCabe, Rutgers University
9. Real life consequences
• Damaged the reputation of two prominent
historians: Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns
Goodwin (Lewis).
• Probe of plagiarism at the University of Virginia
resulted in 45 students dismissed and 3 graduate
degrees revoked (CNN, Channel One).
• Senator Joseph Biden dropped his 1987 campaign
for the Democratic presidential nomination
(Sabato).
• New York Times reporter Jayson Blair forced to
resign after being accused of plagiarism and fraud
(“New York Times”).
10. Recently…
• People in the News: May 4, 2006
• A recently published first novel by Kaavya
Viswanathan, 19, a Harvard University
undergraduate, was recalled April 27 by its
publisher, Little, Brown and Co., after it
emerged that the book, How Opal Mehta
Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life,
contained many passages apparently
plagiarized from two young-adult novels by
Megan McCafferty, Sloppy Firsts (2001)
and Second Helpings (2003).
11. Possible school
consequences
• “0” on the assignment
• Parent notification
• Referral to
administrators
• Suspension or
dismissal from school
activities
• Sports, extracurricular
• Graduation
• In student record
• Loss of reputation in
the school community
12. Why is this important?
What if:
• Your architect cheated his way through math
class. Will your new home be safe?
• Your lawyer paid for a copy of the bar exam to
study. Will the contract she wrote for you stand
up in court?
• The accountant who does your taxes hired
someone to write his papers and paid a stand-
in to take his major tests? Does he know
enough to complete your tax forms properly?
(Lathrop and Foss 87)
14. Use these three strategies
• Quoting
• Paraphrasing
• Summarizing
But make sure you blend
source materials in with your own.
Make sure your own voice is heard.
15. Quoting
Quotations are the exact words of an author, copied
directly from a source, word for word. Quotations must
be cited!
Use quotations when:
• You want to add the power of an author’s words to support
your argument.
• You want to disagree with an author’s argument.
• You want to highlight particularly eloquent or powerful
phrases or passages.
• You are comparing and contrasting specific points of view.
• You want to note the important research that precedes your
own.
(Carol Rohrbach and Joyce Valenza)
16. Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing means rephrasing the words of an
author, putting his/her thoughts in your own words.
When you paraphrase, you rework the source’s ideas,
words, phrases, and sentence structures with your
own. Like quotations, paraphrased material must be
followed with in-text documentation and cited on your
Works-Cited page.
Paraphrase when:
• You plan to use information on your note cards and wish to
avoid plagiarizing.
• You want to avoid overusing quotations.
• You want to use your own voice to present information.
(Carol Rohrbach and Joyce Valenza)
17. Summarizing
• Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) of one or
several writers into your own words, including only the
main point(s). Summaries are significantly shorter than
the original and take a broad overview of the source
material. Again, it is necessary to attribute summarized
ideas to their original sources.
Summarize when:
• You want to establish background or offer an overview of a
topic
• You want to describe knowledge (from several sources)
about a topic
• You want to determine the main ideas of a single source
(Carol Rohrbach and Joyce Valenza)
18. • Include any direct quotes or unique
phrases in quotation marks or mark with a
big Q and make sure the speaker’s/
writer’s name is identified.
• Make sure you note a paraphrase with the
writer’s name and mark it with a big P
• Include page numbers and source
references so you can go back and check
for accuracy as you write.
As you take notes
19. In-text citations
• Parenthetical citations are usually placed at the end
of sentence, before the period.
• Purpose -- to give immediate source information
without interrupting the flow of paper or project.
• Example:
• “Slightly more than 73% of Happy High School
students reported plagiarizing papers sometime
in their high school careers” (Smith 203).
• Brief information in the in-text citation matches the
full source information included in the Works Cited.
21. Nope!
• Facts that are widely known
• Information or judgments considered
“common knowledge”
Do NOT have to be documented.
Hooray for
common
knowledge!
22. Examples of common knowledge
• George Washington was our first
president.
• There are 24 hours in a day.
If you see a fact in five or more sources,
and you are fairly certain your readers
already know this information, it is likely
to be “common knowledge.”
When in doubt, CITE!
23. No need to cite when…
• You discuss your own
experiences, observations, or
reactions
• You compile the results of
original research, such as from
science experiments.
24. Remember
• Your teacher knows your work
• Your teachers discuss student work
with each other
• Your teacher checks suspicious work
against search engines and other
student papers
• We expect honesty from our students
25. Ask if you need help…
That’s what we’re here for!

Editor's Notes
What do you think of these excuses? Are they valid?
How would you assess the level of “ academic integrity ” at our school? Do you believe our students understand and take these rationale seriously?
Kearns left television position and stepped down as Pulitzer Prize judge for “ lifting ” 50 passages for her 1987 book The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys (Lewis) Biden copied in law school and borrowed from campaign speeches of Robert Kennedy Blair: “ The newspaper said at least 36 of the 73 articles he had written had problems with accuracy, calling the deception a “ low point ” in the newspaper ’ s history. ”
What do you think? Is plagiarism worth the risk?
Any thoughts on this real-life impact of cheating?
