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.

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

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.

Gulliver pp revised
1. Part 4
By:
Hannah, Xavier, Mehek, Bibi, Kevin,
Matt, and Paulo
2. Biography
• Jonathan Swift was born on the 30th of
November, 1667, at a house in Hoey’s Court in
Dublin.
• His mother was a widowed and her
husband died leaving her a poor estate in the
spring of that year
• Jonathan Swift father was the seventh or
eighth son of Rev. Thomas Swift Vicar of
Goodrich, near Ross
3. • Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver's Travels is one of the
most important works of literature. It is Swift's
best known full-length work, and a classic of
English literature. It is not known when exactly
he wrote it but some sources suggest as early
as 1713 when Swift, Gay, Pope, Arbuthnot and
others formed the Scriblerus Club, with the
aim of satirizing popular literary genres
4. • Jonathan Swift Gulliver's Travels is an adventure
story involving several voyages of Lemuel
Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, who, because of a
series of mishaps en route to recognized
ports, ends up, instead, on several unknown
islands living with people and animals of unusual
sizes, behaviors, and philosophies, but who, after
each adventure, is somehow able to return to his
home in England where he recovers from these
unusual experiences and then sets out again on a
new voyage.
5. Chapter 1
• Gulliver leaves his pregnant wife
• Captain of Adventure
• Death
• Recruiters
• Betrayal
• Land
8. Chapter 3
• Language
• Learning and comprehension
• Houyhnhm’s willingness to teach
• Author’s willingness to learn
9. Chapter 4
• Houyhnhnm’s desire and inability to
understand the Author’s:
– Clothing
– Language
– Customs
– Use of Horses
– Methods of Travel
10. Theme
• According to W.B. Carnochan, a major theme
throughout the text is human understanding
and the inability to comprehend.
• Languages
• Customs
• “the thing which was not”
11.
12. “there was a society of men
among us, bred up from their
youth in the art of proving, by
words multiplied for the
purpose,
that white is black, and black is
white, according as they are
paid.”
13. “The bulk of our people were
forced to live miserably, by
labouring every day for small
wages, to make few live
plentifully”
Like a reverse Robin Hood
14. “Knowing how, with prudence, to dispose of a
wife, a daughter, or a sister
“Betraying or undermining his predecessor”
Corruption of the court. (Ironic)
15. • “The reader may be disposed to wonder how I
could prevail on myself to give so free a
representation of my own species...who were
already too apt to conceive the vilest opinion of
humankind, from that entire congruity betwixt
me and their Yahoos.”
16. “I entered a firm resolution never to return to
humankind, but to pass the rest of my life
among these admirable Houyhnhnms...”
“another thing he wondered at in the yahoos
was their strange disposition to nastiness and
dirt” Pg. 2612
Is the racism satirical or real?
17. • Is the “civilization” of human nature a farce?
• Are we really less than other animals?
• Is the comparison Swift is making valid?
18. Fate of The Yahoos
• A meeting of the Houyhnhnms is held to decide the fate of
the yahoos. Gulliver’s master decides to use ideas shared
by Gulliver himself in which the yahoo were to be treated
as horses were in his country!
19. A Simpler Living
• Gulliver explains how intelligent and resourceful the
Houyhnhnms are. The create simple homes, understand
herbal medicines, and live their lives till the die of old
age, which they accept and see as a part of life.
20. Banishment
• Gulliver begins settling more comfortably, and is even
made a room to live in. He begins to see people back
home as yahoos, and develops an equal disgust.
Houyhnhnm’s are unpleased that he is treated as their
kind and is asked to leave the island, which he does.

Gulliver has probably gone
mental
Houyhnhnmland could be a third
world country (but with people
instead of horses)
