The document summarizes developments in the Late Middle Ages Church and Christianity between 1300-1500 CE. It discusses:
1) Weakening of the papacy's power under Pope Boniface VIII due to conflicts with King Philip of France. This led to the "Babylonian Captivity" period from 1309-1377 when the pope resided in Avignon under French influence.
2) The Great Western Schism from 1378-1417 which saw multiple claimants to the papacy and divided the church. This was resolved at the Council of Constance which also condemned the heresies of John Wyclif and Jan Hus.
3) Other topics covered include late medieval mysticism
Dr. Potana’s work on street children is well-researched, compassionate, and groundbreaking. He carefully ties in the problem of street children around the world, the compassionate acts already done by Christians, and urges them not to forget those already born who cannot ask for help.
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.
