The document describes the editing process for images and a documentary about Sunderland. It involved:
1) Cropping images to the same size for coordination and collecting opinions on which images to use.
2) Colour correcting images in laptop software to achieve a warmer scheme giving the impression shots were taken at the same time of day.
3) Creating a collage as the documentary opening using favored Sunderland sights to engage the audience from the beginning.
4) Adding logos, titles and consistent fonts to finalized print pieces and posters about Sunderland locations.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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
2. I started this process by gathering two different
images from each location and sending out a
survey to those in my class so I could get their
opinion on which would be better for me to use
for each of my final image pieces. I took their
opinions into consideration and the final images I
ended up going with the most popular choices
however, for the second option I ended up using
my own opinions there and chose the least
popular of the two as I felt that it fit in more with
the theme I was aiming for when creating my
image pieces. I wanted everything to look
uniformed and I strongly believed the more
popular of the two didn’t fit this theme more than
the alternative option. I feel like this was a good
idea now that I have finished making my
products, as they all fit a theme and they look like
they belong together in a series as I'd planned.
3. Editing Process:
• To begin the editing process of my images, I began by cropping
all of the images so that they were all roughly the same size as
this made everything look more coordinated and therefore
like they were all supposed to be put together instead of six
random images that just so happened to be edited together.
Seeing as this was the more basic editing such as colour
correcting I just did so with the software that is built into my
laptop as I had used it before in the past and it had proved to
be reliable. I wanted to go with a warmer colour scheme as I
felt it suited the images, I had chosen the best. Seeing as the
images weren't taken at the same time of day, doing this gave
off the impression that they had been which was a relief to
me. If they hadn't it would have ruined the collective theme I
was going for.
4. Editing Process:
• As well as having the images being separate pieces within a
collective series, I wanted to make a collage of the images so
that I could use this as the opening title screen for my
documentary. Seeing as the documentary was to be on the
history of Sunderland, I figured that making sure I included
some of the favored sightseeing spots of Sunderland from the
very beginning would be a good tactic. In doing this, it showed
off the beauty of Sunderland from the very beginning and it
was something to keep the attention of the audience which
was necessary seeing as the beginning of the documentary
needs to be eye catching. The beginning is the point where
you keep or lose your audience and so I wanted to ensure I at
least put some effort into making it visually appealing.
5. Editing Process:
Once I had finished with the colour correcting, I moved to
Canva to do the final editing on the print pieces I was
putting together for my final which included putting the
Sunderland Culture Logo onto the pieces, the brand logo I
created earlier in the year for my B1 project and then
adding a title to each of the images stating where each of
the locations were in a font that was similar enough to the
font used in the "Sunderland Culture" part of the logo. (I
ended up choosing a font called 'Thicker' in the size '55.' I
made sure this was the same for all six of the different
posters I was making for the client. Once I was finished with
each of the posters, I went into the share settings on canva,
changed it to a JPG as this was the easiest for me to share
the products in, and from there I downloaded the posters. I
made sure to save these onto a separate USB stick and to
my OneDrive to ensure that they would not be lost in case
of technical issues.
6. Experimentation:
This was the favourite design of me and my lecturers however, I decided to
experiment with all three layouts just so I could get a taste for which would
be the best. Due to the layout of the Penshaw Monument image and the
way the stairs ran, I figured this would be the best to have for the center
image and I just got lucky that the other photos fit well in the smaller
places.
7. Editing Process:
• To begin the editing process of my documentary, I started by
placing all of my clips down and arranging them in the order I
had planned for them when it came to my storyboarding and
my script. Having this planning in place really helped my
efficiency when it came to me editing as I did not have to sit
there on the spot and think of how I wanted to lay out all of
the clips. I had to resize some of the clips however this wasn’t
an issue as it did not mess up the quality of the clips. Once the
clips were where I wanted them to be, I put some space
between some of the clips so that they weren't constantly one
after another and from there I added some transitions to the
beginning and end of each of the clips to soften the change
between clips as I didn’t want the editing to be harsh on the
eyes.
8. Editing Process:
• Once I had finished the initial placement and editing, I knew it was
important to find music for my documentary, so I perused through
the music available at Uppbeat as this had been where I previously
found all of my royalty-free music. Once I found one that reminded
me of the music that the client had used previously in their work, I
went back to my clips and began stabilizing them as they had all been
taken handheld due to me not having access to a tripod for the
duration of my time spent filming. Once I had added the music, I had
to change the volume of it because it was far too loud in comparison
to my voiceover. (I set the gain to –25 as this was an optimal volume.)
From there, I was finished. I highlighted all of my clips and I rendered
them all in and out and exported them (having done the same with
different versions of my doucmentary along the way to ensure that I
had all of my versions there to upload proof of my experimentation.)
