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.

2. The first scene in the trailer of the film contains the logo of the production
company that helped produce and fund the film. This is a common way to
start off a trailer or even the film it self as they have to give credits on who
produced the film as the audience often watch films from certain
companies as it is a way for them to say that it is or it would be a good film.
Warner Bros. was really famous for their gangster film especially around
1920s/1930s. At this time stars were under contract to studios and Warner
Bros. had these actors who played gangsters, such as Edward G. Robinson
(Little Caesar-1931), James Cagney ( Angels With Dirty Faces-1938, White Heat-
1949) and Paul Moni (Scarface-1984). This shows that Goodfellas is part of a
tradition of gangster films, although Warner Bros.’ early gangster films all has a
social commentary to them.
Right after the Warner Bros. logo disappears a scene where
there is dialogue between a man and a boy comes up next. That
that scene the man says to the boy to ‘’not run into your friends
and always keep your mouth shut‘’. This is the code that they
live by and it is important as particularly in Italian communities
where The Code of ‘omerta’ ( silence) is key. This indicates that
there might be a secret between them that they don’t want
anyone else to know. This shows that it is a gangster film as
usually there would always be something that people want to
hide.
The next scene that appears in the trailer indicates the
director of the film. Martin Scorsese is an American director
who is also a producer, screenwriter, actor and also a film
historian. The director has been in the film industry for
more than 53 years and is known world wide. Having a
really popular director for a film is really important as
people would know the kind of work that he creates and
would be willing to watch the film. Mean Streets in 1973
was his first foray into this genre.
3. The next scene involves a young boy who in the first shot is smashing a car window with what
it seems to be a golf club. The golf club usually represents wealth as there would always be rich
people who are seen to play golf in films. Then in the next shot the boy holds a filled petrol can
which he then pours into the car and as we can see in the following shot he then sets the car on
fire, by lighting up a piece of paper and throws it in from the car window. As this shots are
shown in the trailer there is a voiceover which states that the young man always wanted to be a
gangster. The voiceover and the shots link well with each other as we can see the boy setting up
a fire which then leads to a big explosion and we can see the boy that is running away and also
having the voiceover on top it proves the fact that the man is stating. This links to another of
Martin Scorsese where Jonny Boy’s intro in Mean Streets (1973) was very similar, hitting at a
self-destructive trait in his character. Ironically, Jonny Boy played by Robin De Nero who
appears in this trailer to be the mentor of the main character.
4. The next shot after the big explosion includes the young man that appears in front of his mother
asking how he looked. The mother then responds with an angry tone that he looked like a
gangster. This indicates that even though the young man always dreamed of being a gangster
the mother did not like it. The next shot involves the young man that
has ground up. The shot shows the man
smoking which is quite symbolic and also is
shown a lot on gangster films. There is a
voiceover that explains that him and his
gang try to steal 30 billion dollars through an
airport, that is also shown in the shots that
follow through along with the voiceover. The
shots show a plane which represents the
airport, they also show show two men
walking at the airport and someone shooting
towards the sky, as well as someone who is
driving and shouts with excitement. These
shots show to the audience what the
voiceover is stating, which is a robbery of
the money that where mentioned.
