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. How our media product develops or challenges forms and conventions of real media products Generic forms of media for action films conventions are things like bright colours, like red and yellow and mainly fast moving scenes with explosions, chase scenes, weapons, fight scenes, stunts and commonly a love interest. We have developed these conventions by having a chase with eye pleasing stunts, and some dialect to give a brief explanation as to what’s going on in the scene and slight plot translation to the audience. Our beginning was fast moving, fast to change scene, with fast music which complies with other media products to have a big chase scene for the beginning to engage the audience and get excited. We also have a gun as a weapon which corresponds in an action film which I found when I analysed iron man when they get attacked and throughout the film, although it is clearly blue which doesn’t conform to normal media products which makes it all less believable, but as we were amateur makers it is the best we could come up with realistically. The stunts were done by people who knew what they were doing for obvious safety issues, I saw this represented in sherlock holmes in the beginning when Robert Downey jr junior is running to the scene of crime, but we made it like an action film by having a stunt preformed from several different camera angles which conforms to an action film. We also have a scene where the camera moves with a character which occasionally happens in action films but it is an extra to keep the audience involved in the scene and a nice change to the steady held position to keep it flowing.
3. We also used close-ups to show expressions to some stimulus and situation like to the pedestrians reaction to the scenario happening around them. And also some long distance shots to show scene and setting and full view of characters, E.g. we found this to happen in my analysis of iron man and Sherlock Holmes.
4. Are media product relates closely to teenagers since the music and overall genre relates to them Are media product also closely relates to the free running and par core world since that is how are chase scene is done, as shown in our planning. It closely relate to teenagers thought the style of the action. Between 31 and 21 Mise en scene: with are choice of costume we dressed are protagonist in free running gear. This will relate well to our social group. Are props are such things as guns witch are always found in action films relating to the action film lovers. Language: We have quite colourful language in our opening but this is very common in action movies and closely sticks to its style. Camera work/ editing: the camera work consists of quick edits and hand held cameras to show the madness and chaos of the scene. This sticks closely to gritty action movies that most people especially our audience would enjoy What social groups does our media product represent
5. media institutions that might distribute our media product When it come to a media institution we thought that we would go for a small company since this looks like a low budget film. We decided Blumhouse Productions would be a good institution for the distribution of our product since it takes particular interest in low budget movies The product we created was purely a profit-driven exercise since we have no real ideological purpose
6. Who would be the audience for your media product? According to Burton’s theory, I believe my target audience is aimed at young adults between the ages of 13 and 21. this is the conventional target audience for action films.
7. attract/address the audience Fast scenes with quick edits and snap shot action shows how we have appealed to our target audience. Free running also relates well to young teenagers making our action movie a little bit different from other many movies don’t have this kind of free running action in them. The free running and stunts in our film are a big strength that relate well to our audience. Not many action movies have these kind of stunts and would appeal well to our target audience as something new.
8. constructing this product I used a Macintosh laptop to edit the movie, which I filmed on my HD camcorder. For this task I learnt to use iMovieHD to edit my footage. It took a while to get used to the program, as I am not familiar with the Macintosh operating system. However, once I got used to the laptop I was able to crop my clips with ease, and adding music was done easily and quickly.
9. Looking back at your preliminary, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product? Creating the Preliminary Task was the first thing I recorded with my camcorder, this made creating the movie much easier, as I had familiarised myself with its functions and formats. It also helped editing as I knew how to properly import clips to the mac (which was problematic before) In between the preliminary task and the final product, I made more time to familiarise myself with the Macintosh operating system. In this time I learnt how to add music and credits to films, and also played around with transition effects. My main target after my preliminary task was to familiarise myself with Macintosh, which I feel that I did. Another target was to make uploading the videos easier (there were several problems due to incorrect cables), which was also rectified while editing the final product.
10. We chose the name Run Angry because it suited the plot of the film and it was a short name which seems to be common with modern action films. We didn’t use as many shot types as we were hoping because of the camera troubles and it started to get dark and a lot of it was harder then we thought it would be Also we didn’t use our initial idea to in tune foot steps into the video and sound because the editing would have been far to hard, We added in extras to get in the way to make the scene look more realistic and give it a bit tenser We added bits in to make the shots flow more easily and changed other shots so we could do it with more ease and look better. On the video we made a few scenes darker and lighter to sit in with the time of day seeing as it was filmed on different days, and also we stopped the sound on the last scene for effect and out it back up for the credits.
