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.

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
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Denotation &
Connotation
• This double page spread is from Q magazine and has the
artist Lady Gaga on and the three main colours used are red,
white and black. The main image of Lady gaga, she has a
direct mode of address, messy bob, heavy make-up and is
wearing a large necklace which is covering up her breasts
along with her hands. The colour scheme is conventional in
this magazine as red connotes danger, to stop and love, it’s
also a eye-catching colour which stands out, black also
connotes danger and evil whereas white connotes purity and
innocence these colours contrast well together making the
article stand out. The main image gives off an vintage theme
by the editing of the image and her make-up is very heavy
which connotes that she is dangerous and powerful. The L
going across the page is conventional to Q magazine as it’s
like their logo and the L obviously stands for Lady Gaga.
4. • This double page spread is based on Lady Gaga that is obvious as the
main image of her takes up the whole of the left page this is conventional
in all magazines. This image is in black and white that connotes that they
could of wanted to give the image a more vintage look it also works well
with the lighting making the contrast of the image look better. She has a
direct mode of address in the image and she has a seductive look on her
face the fact that she is topless also gives off an idea that she is trying to
get male attention. She has a chain as a necklace that’s covering her
breasts to connote mystery; this goes well with Gaga, as she is known for
her outrageous and crazy dress sense. Her hair is short and all over the
place like “bed head” which links with her seductive look and mysterious
topless look. The lighting on her face and above the breasts draws the
audience attention to look there first and it also makes her bones stand
out more by how they have edited shadows, for example on her cheek
bones they have put a shadow under the lighting giving her sharp face
features which is seen as beautiful in the media.

5. Page one
• They have used rule of thirds on the image as her eyes are the
first thing the audience looks at, at the top then her necklace
and shoulders then her breasts this gives the image a more
interesting and visually appealing layout.
• This shot is a medium to close up shot and the camera angle is
a low shot looking up at Lady Gaga, all of her is in focus and
there is letters in the background that are out of focus.
• Lady Gaga will bring a wider range of audience to the
magazine because of this article, as people who like her music
will buy the magazine, she also appeals to equal amount of
gender and a wide age range of people who like her.
6. Page two
• The article has two drop capitals which connotes there is a new paragraph
this stands out as they are a much larger font than the rest of the text on
the page they are used so that the reader will look there first and read the
line and know what the two most important paragraphs are about.
• There is a L that goes across the whole page and also goes over the text,
it is bright red, serif font and the first letter of Lady Gagas name, this is like
the logo of Q magazine which makes it professional as they are showing
their brand identity through out the magazine.
• In the top right third corner there is the title that says “Lady GAGA” this
shows who the article is about, GAGA is also written in capitals so it
stands out more so maybe GAGA is how she is mostly known as by her
fans and the logo is also in serif which is used in all the important text in
the magazine.
7. Page two
• The layout of the magazine is set into columns, which make it easier for
the audience to read by doing this it also makes the magazine look more
professional, the text is black and sans serif that makes it easier for the
audience to read especially on the white background.
• Between the columns there are gutters to separate the text making it
easier to read and more professional as the text isn’t all squished together.
• On the bottom right third of the page Q has their logo inside which will be
on every page, this makes the magazine look more professional and
allows the audience to recognize that the article is theirs.
• There is white space around the text that’s mostly around the edge of the
page which makes the text easier to read and the layout more professional
as the text doesn't’t look like its slipping off the page.
