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 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.

studied, meeting almost all
of the conventions, to the
extent it is almost copied.
Your video takes some of
the common genre
elements but uses them in
different combinations and
adds new ideas.
Your video rejects many of
the main conventions of the
genre for artistic reasons
and sets out to create a new
set of conventions.
USE DEVELOP CHALLENGE
8. Forms and conventions?
In this case, forms would be the
different kinds of video:
narrative, performance,
concept, hybrid.
Which did you use and why?
What did your research tell you
(textual and audience)?
Example theory
comment –
Explain how Goodwin’s 6
rules were used or
challenged.
Use Goodwin to justify
your decisions.
9. Forms and conventions?
By conventions, we mean genre
conventions, in this case linked to the
music genre:
• Cinematography
• Iconography
• Editing
• How did you establish what they
were?
• How did researched texts influence?
Example theory
comment –
Barthes says that genre
is marked by its
iconography – to what
extent does your use of
iconography prove this
theory?
10. Real media products?
Real music videos,
digipaks and adverts –
how did you respond
to them and use them
in your own planning?
Example theory
comment –
Neale says media
producers will select ideas
from a range of choices
and combine them in
different ways. What set
of options did you select,
add or reject?

concepts of media does
this question relate to?
• Media language
• Organisations

15. Effective?
The first way we mean
‘effective’ is in terms of
appealing to an
audience. So you must
think about the who and
the how of that
equation.
Audience theories:
• Uses and
gratifications
• Maslow’s Hierarchy of
needs
• Cross Cultural
Consumer Categories
(4Cs)
16. Effective?
The second way this is
meant is in terms of
representation. Of the
artist and their image,
mainly, but in broader
terms too. Did you create
their image or use what
they already had? What
influenced you?
Relevant theory:
• Dyer’s star image
theory
• Relevant racial or
regional identity
theories.
• British youth culture
theories
• Male gaze?
17. Combination?
The organisational aspects of this
form of media can be discussed
when thinking how the three
products work together (along
with linked platforms, such as
websites or facebook pages
referred to). How would the
given terms apply? What others
are relevant?
Relevant terms:
Synergy
Convergence
Distribution
Platforms
18. Question 3

20. Learned?
In a nutshell, you
learned a great deal
(even if you didn’t)
about how to
construct and develop
your products.
You might already have
established who your
audience is in Question 2,
but if not then you must do
it here.
Start by making some notes
on everything you did that
was in direct response to an
audience member.
21. Audience feedback?
Review everything related to audience on
your blog:
• artist profiling
• audience research
• Youtube comments
• focus group feedback
• any surveys done around the print
products
• you can also discuss the impact of your
online presence and any response you
had from your artist.
This suggests it is all
about audience
response to your
finished product, but it is
feedback on everything
you’ve done that invited
an audience to
comment.
22. Question 4
How did you use media
technologies in the
construction and
research, planning and
evaluation stages?
This does not relate to
the key concepts, it is
all about you and
your engagement
with ‘new media’, i.e.
digital facilities, online
and social media.
23. Media technologies?
Which of the following media technologies did you
use? Any others?
Digital camera Editing software
Youtube Blogger
Facebook Prezi
Powerpoint Surveymonkey
Online editing Google/Wiki
Mac/PC Photoshop
24. How?
• Did you make good use of these
technologies?
• Were there any you could have
exploited better?
• Did any produce unexpected
results?
• How much did the technology
enhance your work?
• Did you technical ability limited you
or did it grow?
It is especially important
to note here that this is
an evaluation. You need
to judge the
effectiveness of your
work throughout, but
particularly in this
question.
