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.

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. Greece is a small
country in Europe.
Greece is near the
Mediterranean Sea.
The main part of
Greece in on a
peninsula.
A peninsula is a body
of land surrounded by
water on three sides.
The rest of Greece is
made up of islands.
3. Only about 1/5th of Greece is suitable for
farming because most of the country is
covered with mountains. The islands are
mountain peaks.
Two Effects of Greek Geography
1. The Greeks became excellent traders and
sailors.
2. The Greeks thought of themselves as
separate countries because it was hard to
get together.
4. Because Greece is made up of many islands,
and has many tall mountains, the Greeks
began to build city-states instead of one
country.
A city-state is a city with its own laws, rulers,
and money.
City-states were cities that acted like
countries.
5.
6.
7. The Minoans lived on the island of Crete from
about 3000 to 1100 BC.
Because of their location, they were excellent
traders who controlled the Aegean Sea.
8. After the Mycenaeans defeated the Minoans,
the culture of the islands blended with
mainland Greek culture.
At their height in 1400 BC, the Mycenaeans
controlled trade, spoke an early form of
Greek, and used writing.
9. Greek myth tells the story of the Trojan War
between Greece and the city of Troy in
present day Turkey.
The Greeks conquered the Trojans by using a
fake wooden horse filled with Greek soldiers.
The horse was rolled to the Trojan city gates.
Thinking it was a gift, the Trojans rolled it
inside. After nightfall, the Greeks destroyed
Troy and burned the city to the ground.
10. Epics – long story-telling poems.
Two epics exist today telling of the Trojan
War, the Odyssey and the Illiad, written by
Homer. Some historians believe that Homer
exaggerated the story to make it sound
better.
11. Soon after the Trojan War, civilization in
Greece collapsed. People no longer traded
for food and other goods beyond Greece and
poverty was everywhere. The Dark Ages took
place from 1100 – 750 BC.
Acropolis – a high, rocky hill where early
people built cities.
12. Historians believe that sometime around 750
BC, villages joined with cities and began to
develop their own traditions, laws, and
governments.
City-state – a city, that is also a separate
independent state.
13. The earliest rulers of city-states were
probably chieftains or kings who were
military leaders.
By the end of the Dark Ages, most city-states
were ruled by aristocrats – members of rich
and powerful families.
Because they were wealthy, aristocrats could
afford land, chariots, and the best weapons
that helped make themselves stronger.
14. As the Greeks sailed to ports to trade various
goods, the city-states became wealthy. A
middle class of merchants and sailors
developed.
The middle class wanted representation in
government and began to equip themselves
with armor, swords, and spears.
Gradually power shifted from the aristocrats
to tyrants – rulers who seize power by force.
15. Eventually the people in city-states overthrew
the tyrants. Some city-states developed a
style of government called democracy –
citizens govern themselves.
The most successful democratic city-state
was Athens.
Athenian democracy became the leading
government of the ancient world.
33. Sparta was a Greek city-state.
Sparta was very powerful and had its own
army.
Sparta conquered other city-states to gain
wealth and power.
There were three classes of people in
Sparta.
Citizens, non-citizens, and slaves.
34. Only men born in Sparta were citizens.
Women were not allowed to become
citizens, however, women were allowed to
own land and businesses, which gave them
more freedom than other Greek city-states.
The second class in Sparta was people who
came from other city-states or other
countries. They could own businesses but
not become citizens.
The third class was slaves.
35. Athens was another important Greek city-
state.
The people of Athens wanted to rule
themselves and not have a king or queen.
Athens became the world’s first democracy
around 508 B.C.
A democracy is a government in which all
citizens can vote and have equal say in what
happens.
36. Pericles was the
leader of creating
democracy in Athens.
He had many
buildings
constructed.
Pericles had the
Parthenon and the
Acropolis built.
37.
38. Greek gods did not make the world, but live
within it
Gods do not love humans, nor do they ask to
be loved by them
Gods struggle for power amongst one
another
39. No writings to reveal the will of the Greek
gods
Gods are capricious
Guilt and sin (in our modern sense) do not
exist
40. Temples were where
offerings, libations,
sacrifices and prayers
were performed at the
altar by priests
Shrine could also take
other forms e.g., a
cave, tree or mountain
top
Object of the cult could
also be a hero
Consult priest or
priestess to know
the god’s will
Sacrifice of an
animal is correct
ritual
Greek temple –
houses the cult
image of the god
41. “often the gods lift up men who were
crushed into the dark earth by their
troubles, and often they smash down on
their faces those who stand firm” -
Archilochus
Gods often appear to be either neglectful of
humans or their tormentors.
All are fated to die as the gods did not see
fit to give humans eternal life or youth
42. Everyone is subject to Fate, but it can be
good or bad, depending on how you look at it
Example of this is Oedipus
Destined to marry his mother and kill his
father, but not destined to know about it
Oedipus freely chooses to learn the truth
about himself
43. Greek gods were called “hoi athanatoi”, or the
deathless ones
