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.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?
2. Front cover I have added an issue number and date to the cover as this is a main feature to magazines. I used a barcode to make the cover look more realistic. I have made the main photograph central to the page so that it is easy to identify that the main article will be about them. I have positioned ‘flashback’ on top of the girls as this is the bands name. I also added effects to the font which links to the ‘flashback.’ I have done the title of my magazine in the style of an existing magazine but underneath wrote a slogan which is quite common on magazines. I added circles to the cover as this is a feature that makes my magazine exclusive and suits the target audience. I added a downwards arrow for effect as I felt it fitted with the phrase written. I have added other bits of information of what will be featured in the magazine to make it more appealing. I added borders along the top and bottom as I saw this was a feature shown on most magazines and felt that it made it look more professional.
3. Contents page I followed the title of my magazine onto the contents page as I saw this was done in existing magazines. I made the title of the page bold so it’s easy to identify that this is the contents page. I added the issue number as I also saw this was a feature on most magazines that I researched. I made a column for the numbers to go vertically down in to make it look tidy and easy to read. I made the headlines of what is on each page bold. As this is the main article I have made this clear by using the same font that was used on the front cover to write ‘flashback.’ I put circles around the page numbers that are of relevance to the front cover and are main articles within the magazine. I added a small paragraph or sentence beneath each sub heading to inform what the article is about. I used an arrow to point down to the poster to show that this is the picture that will be inside and as it follows the mise en scene used throughout. I have inserted photos onto the page and positioned them over lapping for effect.
4. Double page spread I added lots of images to the page to make the page more eye catching. I put borders around them to make them look more professional and changed the positions and angles of some. I noticed that this was done in existing magazines and I liked the effect it had so used it to start off my article. I changed the colour of the font for the questions that were being asked in the interview so it was clear to the reader. I made this photo larger than the others as when doing research into double spreads I noticed that most have a main picture filling the majority of the page. I added quotes from the interviewees to help attract people to the pages. I changed the colour of the font for the peoples name so that it was easy for the reader to identify which member was saying what. I wrote in italics who interviewed the band as this is a normal feature on magazines. I added shapes that were used on the previous pages to help maintain the mise en scene.
