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.

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.
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
4. Growth
Growth refers to an increase in physical size of the whole body or any of its parts.
Quantitative multiplication of cells
It is simply a quantitative change in the child’s body.
It can be measured in Kg, pounds, meters, inches, ….. etc
5. Child Growth
We use the term growth exclusively to refer to changes that are quantitative in nature
7. Development
• Development refers to a progressive increase in skill and capacity of function.
• It is a qualitative change in the child’s functioning.
• It can be measured through observation.
• A continuous, orderly series of conditions that leads to activities, new motives
for activities, and patterns of behavior
Last page viewed
8. Development
• Longitudinal continuous, sustained, comprehensive process over the time.
• It’s related to skills ( speaking, running, jumping, walking…..)
9. Nature of development
• It is a product of interaction
• It is continuous process
• Follows an orderly sequence
• Proceed from general to specific
• Different aspects of development are interdependent
• Development is an individuals process
• Each stage has its traits.
• It is depends on heredity and environment, maturation and learning
10. Different between growth & development
• Growth ceases when an individual reaches a certain age and stage but
development is prolong
• Growth is quantitative development is qualitative
11. Different between growth & development
Growth
development
•
Quantitative
•
Qualitative
•
Ends with maturity
•
Continuous from womb to grave
•
Structural and physiological changes
•
Changes in organism a whole
•
Growth is one of the developmental process •
Overall changes in individual
•
Does not depend upon maturation or learning Depends upon maturation and learning
•
•
Observable and measurable changes
•
Is not directly observable
•
May or may not bring development
•
Is possible without growth
12. Principles of Growth & Development
Development is cumulative: changes appear dramatic but it is due to the long
period of silent preparation
Development is continuous process
Predictable Sequence
Growth don’t progress at the same rate
Not all body parts grow in the same rate at the same time.
Each stage of G&D is affected by the preceding types of development.

13. Principles of Growth & Development
Development is orderly( standing before walking, babbling before talking
Individualized – each child is unique
Development becomes increasingly integrated and complex
Growth is influenced by heredity and environment
Growth is complex process
15. Maturation
• The emergence of personal and behavioral characteristics through growth
processes.
• Natural unfolding of inherited tendency
• Any change with age in the conditions of learning which depends
primarily upon organic growth factors rather than upon prior practice or
experience
• It is describing the qualitative change in a structure.
• No special training is needed
16. Maturation
• Paves the way or foundation for learning
• The level of maturation depends on child’s heredity.
• Learning and maturation are complementary process.
• It determines the limit of one’s achievement
• It also determines the rate of learning
• Maturation refers to the learning readiness of an individual
17. Readiness
Capability of successfully mastering the learning activity
and this appears to be the most appropriate time to
introduce the new expedience
21. Patterns of Growth
The child’s pattern of growth is in a head- to- toe direction, or cephalically, and
in an inward to outward pattern
(head to toe)
(from center outward)

22. Periods of greatest growth
• A rapid pace from birth to 2 years
• A slower pace from 2 years to puberty
• A rapid pace from puberty to approximately 15 years
• A sharp decline from 16 years to approximately 24 years when full adult
size is reached
23. Factors affecting growth and development:
Hereditary
Environmental factors
- Prenatal environment
- Post-Natal Environment
Last page viewed
24. Heredity
• Genetic information that is passed on from generation to
generation
• These genes are also affected by environmental factors
• For example, malnutrition may prevent an individual from growing
to their maximum potential height
25. Prenatal Environment
1-Factors related to mothers during pregnancy:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Diabetic mother
- Exposure to radiation
- Infection with German measles
- Smoking
- Use of drugs
26. 2-Factors related to fetus
• Malposition in uterus
• Faulty placental implantation
27. Post-Natal Environment
I - External environment:
- socio-economic status of the family
- child’s nutrition
- climate and season
- child’s ordinal position in the family
- Number of siblings in the family
- Family structure (single parent or extended family … )
28. Nutrition
• Adequate nutrients are essential for growth & development
• Carbohydrates and fats are primarily used for energy
• Proteins contribute to the growth and repair of body tissues, including muscle
• Vitamins, minerals and water are also essential for various functions and
reactions that occur in the body
29. Nutrition
• Undernourishment or malnutrition can delay
growth
• Undernourishment exists even in countries
with abundant food supplies
• Overeating is also a problem in these
countries and can lead to obesity when
combined with a sedentary lifestyle
30. Socioeconomic Status
• Body size is positively related to socioeconomic
status and may be related to nutrition
• That is, socioeconomic status affects
• Income (money to spend on food)
• Education (knowledge about healthy food)
• Time (food selection and preparation time)
• Availability (access to stores with healthy
food choices)
31. Socioeconomic Status
• Other factors may contribute to the differences observed in
growth & development among individuals, such as
• Lower levels of stress;
• Better sleeping patterns; and
• Regular exercise
• These factors are easier to ensure when the basic necessities are
met
32. Exercise & Bone Development
• Regular exercise tends to increase the diameter and density of bone
• Increased strength and durability
• Increased length of non-weight bearing bones such as the arms
• Overuse injuries can be incurred by young children who over-train
• Too much strain on a bone during a period of growth can lead to the dearrangement of the normal process of bone growth
33. Exercise & Body Composition
• Active children and teenagers show:
An increase in lean body mass
A decrease in percent body fat
Muscle hypertrophy with exercise
34. Perceptual Motor Development Across the G & D Cycle
• The importance of physical education as an integral part of the
school curriculum is often overlooked
• Some parents discourage physical education and emphasize
academics
• Other parents encourage physical activity pursuits by enrolling their
children in organized physical activity programs
