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
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.

TESDA TM1 REVIEWER FOR NATIONAL ASSESSMENT WRITTEN AND ORAL QUESTIONS WITH A...
How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
1. Question 4 How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?
2. Research To research documentaries I used Internet Explorer and websites such as, www.google.co.ukand www.youtube.com
3. Research To get footage off YouTube to be used as archive material, I used Kiss YouTube (www.kissyoutube.com) which allowed me to download clips into mp3 format.
4. Research Other websites I used for research include www.urbanfreeflow.com to research Free Running and I set up a blog using www.blogger.com so I could put my notes for the documentary onto it.
5. Planning During the planning stages, I used Microsoft Word to create a questionnaire to be filled in by our target audience. When we got the results from the questionnaire, we used Microsoft Excel to present them in pie charts so we could accurately see which answer was most popular.I also used Microsoft Word to type up the Running Order, Production Schedule and to type up the Logging Sheets and Edit Decision List.
6. Planning After storyboarding our five minute documentary, we used a Scanner so that we could put the images onto our blogs. I also used a scanner to scan in my brainstorms for the documentary. I used my scanner at home so I saved the images onto my USB Drive so that I was able to put them onto my computer and then onto my blog.
7. Construction To film the documentary, voice over and radio advert we used a Canon XM2 Camera with Mini DV Tapes and a Tripod and Clip Microphone The Clip Microphones were used during interviews so that we could clearly hear what the interviewee was saying. So that we could tell if the Microphone was working, we plugged Headphones into the camera to listen to what was being recorded.We also used the Microphone when recording the voiceover and the first version of our radio advert. For the final recording of the radio advert, we used a programme called Audacity in the college radio room. This gave us a clearer recording than the first time to make it sound more polished.
8. Construction During the filming stages, we took still images of us filming using a Cine Pic Camera so that we could add these images to our blogs in the filming diary.We also used our MobilePhones to take pictures of the editing stages and took print screens of the editing process. To get the images for our print advert, we used the Video Camera and then Exported the frame which we felt was the best.
9. Construction After all of the filming was finished, we began to capture our footage off the Mini DV Tapes using the DV Capture Deck.The DV Capture Deck was linked to the computer using a Fire Wire lead so that we could control the Capture Deck through the computer.The computer we used was a Quad Core PC with a TFT monitor. We did the editing through a software programme called Adobe Premier the CS5 version. We used this programme to cut the footage down and to edit the lighting and the volume of the clips and put it all into the right order on the timeline. Also during the editing stages, we used headphones to listen to the footage and so we were able to cut it down so that there was no unwanted sound.
10. Construction To preview the documentary, we used a Samsung LCD Monitor which allowed us to see if the framing was correct and whether the titles were in the right places. On the same project as the documentary, I added a new sequence so that we could edit the radio trailer.I copied footage from the documentary onto the radio advert timeline and added one of the songs from the documentary. After recording the script for the advert using the Canon XM2 Camera and clip microphone, as mentioned before, I added this to the timeline and cut it down to fit between the soundbytes from our documentary and so that it fit in the 30 second time phrase. I re-edited the radio advert in the same way after the second recording
11. Construction Our other ancillary text, the print advert, was created using Adobe Photoshop CS5 where we took an image from our documentary and edited the lighting on it. I drew a box which I added the title of the documentary, 'On The Edge' and the slogan, 'Do Something Different' and the date and time that it will show. Using a Channel 4 logo off Google Images, we inverted the colours to make the logo black and then cut it away from the background so we just had the outline of the logo. Using different layers on Photoshop, we were able to create the advert with the image as the background, then the box which we coloured blue to relate with the t-shirt that the Free Runner is wearing in the image. Above this layer is the text with the name of the documentary, slogan, date and time and then the Channel 4 logo.We went through the same process to create the final print advert with the wall and the footprints. We cut the footprint away from the rest of the image and used the eraser tool to smooth the edges.We coloured the box which has the title, slogan, date and time in it white to make it stand our against the brick wall.
12. Evaluation For Question 1, I used an iPhone to record my voice and then using Windows Movie Maker I added images of what I was talking about to create a short film.
13. Evaluation For Question 2, I have created a Prezi presentation using www.prezi.com .I have then embedded this onto my blog and created a link to view the presentation on the Prezi website.
14. Evaluation For Question 3, I typed up an answer using Microsoft Word which I then read out, recoding my voice again using an iPhone which has a clear recording.Using Windows Movie Maker, I cut down the recording, removing bits that went wrong.I also added some titles to explain which product I was talking about.
15. Evaluation For Question 4, I have used Microsoft PowerPoint to create a slide show. I have taken screen shots of the work during production stages to include in this PowerPoint and used my phone to take pictures of the evaluation stages.I have uploaded it to my blog using www.slideshare.net
