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

5. Crucibles/Crucible tongs
Used to hold small
amounts of chemicals
during heating at high
temperatures, especi
ally if you want to
keep oxygen out of
the reaction (just put
on the cover).
Used for picking up
crucibles and crucible
covers only.
5
6. Dessicators
Provide a dry environment for a
crucible or a given substance
to cool down, since moisture
can affect mass results.
– Common dessicant-anhydrous
calcium chloride.
Colored indicator crystals are
usually included to tell
condition of dessicant.
– Gray color in crystals-dessicant is
dry and will absorb moisture.
– Pink color-dessicant is "hydrated".
When this happens, the water
can be removed by heating it
in an oven.
6
9. Erlenmeyer flask
Shape constructed to
facilitate swirling or
mixing of reactants.
NOT precise-250 mL
flask typically holds
270 mL or so.
Use only for
approximate
measurements.
9
10. Evaporating dish
Used to recover
dissolved solids by
evaporation.
While it can be
heated, it should not
be used for "strong"
heating.
10
11. Florence flask
Rounded bottom
makes it ideal for
boiling liquids.
It also makes this
flask easy to tip over
when sitting on the
lab table.
11
14. Do the following to perform an experiment in the
hood:
– Raise the door of the hood
– Turn on the light and set up the apparatus
– When all material for the experiment is ready, turn on
the fan
– Pull the hood door at least 1/3 way down
– Perform the experiment
– When finished, pull the door all the way down until all
smoke and fumes are removed
– Turn off the fan and light, then remove the equipment
to a regular lab station for cleaning
– Leave the hood clean
14
15. Long stem funnel (filter funnel)
When lined with filter
paper, used to filter
suspended solids
from a liquid.
Aides in pouring
liquids into small
openings.
15
16. Glass stirring rod w/rubber
policeman
Tool to mix reactants.
Pour liquid down along it
to keep it from splashing
out.
Movement of the rod
additionally helps to
spread the heat evenly.
Rubber policeman keeps
glass rod from scratching
glass beaker or other
container.
16
18. Graduated pipets
Can have bulb or pipet pump.
Convenient way to accurately
transfer a small volume of
liquid.
– Volumetric pipet-used to
measure one amount only.
– Graduated pipet-lot of lines so
you can measure many
different amounts.
Before making an accurate
transfer, the user should pump
the desired liquid into the
pipet, roll the pipet horizontally
to coat the entire interior
surface with the liquid, and
then allow the liquid to drain
through the tip.

wells.
Chemicals are placed
in the small wells, and
the reaction can be
observed as it takes
place in the well.
23
24. Support ring
Attaches to the
ring stand and is
used to support
glassware above
the lab table.
24
25. Test tube/Test tube rack/Test tube
holder

or clay tripod.
28
29. Utility clamp
When attached to the
ring stand, this clamp
is used to hold a large
test tube or Florence
flask above the lab
table.
29
30. Volumetric flasks
Used to prepare solutions of exact
concentrations of solutions.
It has a precise graduation line in the
neck of the flask.
Never heat substances in them.
First rinse inside with solvent, then
transfer a small amount of solvent
followed by the required amount of
solute, and swirl.
Further fill the flask with solvent to
just below the mark etched in the
glass.
Last few drops added with a
medicine dropper or Pasteur pipet for
accuracy.
Finally, w/stopper and base
supported, invert flask about ten
times to ensure homogeneity in the
mixing.
30
31. Watch glass
Used like evaporating
dish for drying very
small amounts of
material.
Used to cover
beakers.
Used for weighing
small amounts of
material.
31
32. Weighing paper
Used with a balance
so that chemicals are
placed on the
paper, instead of
directly on the
balance.
32
33. Wash bottles
In the general chemistry
lab, are usually filled with
distilled or deionized
water.
Used for rinsing solids out
of a container when
filtering.
Used to rinse glassware.
33
34. Wire gauze/Clay triangle
Used as a support for
containers when
placed across a
support ring above a
burner.
Wire gauze spreads
out flame/heat evenly
over container.
Clay triangle can hold
a funnel during
filtering.
34
35. Measuring the volume of a liquid
with a graduated cylinder:
Surface of liquid in
cylinder curves to form a
meniscus.
Meniscus of most liquids
curves up sides of
container (center lower
than edges).
– Mercury is one of very few
exceptions - it curves
down at the edges.
Always read bottom of
curve.
35
36. Using the smallest graduation, estimate
between the two lines where the meniscus
falls.
As the diameter of the cylinder
increases, the curve of the meniscus
flattens out.
Putting card/paper behind meniscus
makes it easier to read.
36
37. Measuring the volume of a liquid
with a pipet:
Pipets are much more accurate than
graduated cylinders.
Liquid must be drawn into the pipet.
Gradually release the pressure of your
squeeze on the bulb and allow the liquid to
be drawn into the pipet.
– Draw more liquid than needed, but do not
allow the liquid to enter the bulb.
37
38. Measuring mass with an
electronic balance:
Never place a chemical directly on balance pan-
use container.
Place container on balance-its mass is displayed.
Press Zero button-balance resets to zero and
ignores mass of container.
Place substance to be weighed into container-
balance will show only the mass of substance.
When container is removed, press
Zero button again.
38
39. Measuring mass with a triple-
beam balance:
Place object on balance pan.
Move tares on beams to balance mass.
Back beam graduated in 10 gram steps/middle beam
graduated in 100 gram steps.
– Tares on these two beams are in the notch for the whole number
of grams and not in between notches.
The front beam is a sliding scale graduated in grams.
The tare on this beam can be positioned anywhere on
the scale.
Masses on a triple-beam balance can
be read to tenths of a gram, and
estimated to hundredths.
39
40. Filtering a precipitate from a
solution:
Filtering a solid out of a liquid is done using filter paper
and a filter funnel.
The filter funnel is supported by the ring on a ring stand.
Lay a clay triangle across the ring, then place the filter
funnel into the triangle.
To prepare the filter paper, fold the paper in half, then
fold it in half again.
40
41. Catch three of the four edges of paper at open edge.
– Squeeze sides of folded paper and cone will form w/3
thicknesses of paper on one side and one thickness of paper on
the other.
– Place this cone of paper into the filter funnel.
Place catch dish under funnel.
Wet down inside of filter paper with wash bottle-it sticks
to funnel.
Carefully pour liquid to be filtered into mouth of funnel.
– Do not let the liquid rise to the top of the filter paper.
– If any liquid goes over and around the paper, your procedure is
ruined.
– Be patient, it will take time for the liquid to move through the
pores of the paper.
When all original liquid has been poured into the
funnel, use wash bottle to rinse any remaining precipitate
out of the original container.
Do not touch or try to stir the liquid inside the filter paper.
– The wet paper is easily torn, which will ruin your procedure.
