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

9. TV and new technology
• TV dominates our culture
• It’s a source of information, entertainment, a social
activity, an asset and even a danger
• Marshall McLuhan looked at the ways in which
communication technologies developed in relation to
one another and our needs – The Tetrad (4 Q’s)
• What will it enhance?
• What will it impair?
• What will it recover/rejuvenate?
• What will it make obsolete?
10. Is TV obsolete?

following have become affordable:
• Home PC’s
• Films and TV on demand
• Games machines
• Mobile phones
• Personal recording devices – Sky+
• The internet

aired – Sky+, computer games, DVD’s, internet
etc.
12. The future of TV

in broadcasting schedules and innovations like
the Wii.

marketing
15. X Factor
• Created to Entertain and amuse the national
demographic (MASS)
• A direct response to the theory of Fragmentation
• A reflection of the active audience and a
democratic society as we have the chance to vote
• Despite it being a search for talent there is always
1 act that is used for comedy to allow for variety
16. X Factor and the mass audience
• In 2009 X factor built an audience following over
12 weeks that peaked to 19 million viewers of the
live final.
• Different responses:
• Some though it had homely charm
• Others thought it was mass manipulation
• Either way it was nothing new – Search for a
Star, New Faces, Opportunity Knocks going back
as far as the 60’s
17. Interactivity
• This is the new key to success
• Not just phoning in but interacting with each
other
• The wii is an example of getting the family to

What do we know about X Factor
Genre
Narrative
Representation
Audience
Production
Marketing
Regulation
Distribution/Global implications
20. Genre and ideology
• X Factor is a reality TV programme
• It attempts to turn an ordinary person into a pop star through its talent
contest narrative.
• It reflects the ‘American Dream’ ideology in the way that it can turn
people’s lives from ‘rags to riches’.
• Genre conventions :
• ordinary people trying to make their lives better,
• high production values which includes viewing luxuries such as flashy
lights, extravagant camera angles (such as Birdseye), special effects, and
celebrities.
• The X Factor has influenced the typical representation of other talent
shows ever since, so this would include the Two Step Flow theory as the
X Factor has acted as an opinion leader, and has set down the modern
conventions for reality talent shows.
• How does The X Factor compare to BGT?
21. • TV scheduling was all about fixing
programmes around audiences routines
• trying to keep us fixed to a single channel by
offering a variety of genre texts at certain
times
• Now texts are commercially endorsed and
experienced ‘any time, any place, any where’
• Henry Jenkins calls it ‘trans-media storytelling’
22. Dr Who revival
• Perfect example of convergence – becoming a
franchise
• Accessible through genre repetition but now
• through the website
• Sticker books,
• action figures etc. etc. etc.
23. Torchwood
• Torchwood is a Science Fiction TV Drama
created by Dr Who Executive Producer Russell
T Davies.
• Torchwood is a sub genre of TV Drama
because it follows the conventions of many TV
Dramas but has tweaked the representations
to give it a Science Fiction feel.
24. • Davies wanted to develop an Americanised
drama like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Angel but with clear linking to Doctor Who
• Captain Jack Harkness appeared several times
in Doctor Who as a time traveller.
• ‘Torchwood’ is an anagram of Doctor Who.
• Both Torchwood and Doctor Who use CGI
special effects, elaborate built sets, on
location shooting, multiple camera
technology, ensemble cast and high
production value sound
25. The cast
• The cast are alien-hunters who are based at the Cardiff
branch of the Torchwood Institute
• the first three series were filmed by BBC Wales in and
around the Cardiff.
• some of the actors have South Wales accents
• they use iconic Cardiff locations like Tiger Bay.
• Initially broadcast on BBC3 but moved to BBC2 and
BBC1 because of the critical and commercial success it
received
• The BBC often use BBC3 to trial programmes because
of its less mainstream target audience and lower
audience figures.
26. Global impact
• The fourth series attracted American investment
through Starz who are a Premium Subscription
Channel.
• This co-production with BBC1 saw even higher
production values and the ability to sell what can
be a fast paced, action based series to American
audiences.
• Torchwood is much more ‘Americanised’ in its
content and attracts an older target audience as
well as existing fans of Doctor Who
27. Genre
• Torchwood also borrows codes and
conventions of Crime Drama and has an
investigative narrative.
• High production values are evident : CGI and
aerial shots
• intertextual references to CSI & Spooks in the
layout of their headquarters but also with the
continuous referencing of new technology.
28. Representation
• Female empowerment is represented
• However there is a male hierarchy
• 2 strong female characters would initially
suggest a more pluralistic (diverse)
representation but both are framed for the male
gaze and are seen to be more in touch with their
emotions.
• Examples? Gwen and The Chinese woman
29. • Men are more physically dominant and logical reflecting the
cultural stereotype
• like many action based TV Dramas the central protagonist is
a dominant male.
• The programme has a young male and female
aspirational, 16-35, urban and city living target audience
• Rather than the younger secondary target audience of
Doctor Who.
• In the opening sequences the team are seen to walk together
in slow motion anchoring their enigmatic status.
30. Audience Appeals
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
narrative predictability - Three act structure
Act One ‘the problem’, settings, location and characters
Act Two narrative chain of cause and effect (development)
Act Three resolution - the problem is always resolved or at least understood
by the team.
Science Fiction, popular with mass audiences who enjoy the idea of the
unknown, futuristic technology and life on other planets.
Narrative enigmas ensure the audience questions: who, what, why and
when
narrative action codes borrowing from the action genre.
multi stranded narrative - each character having their own storyline, helps
audience identification with a character
exaggerated hyper real representations,
familiar running time (60 minutes),
deliberate use of binary oppositions to construct meaning and a reputation
for quality and pedigree like Lost, Lie to Me, and 24.
31. • the BBC ident is foregrounded in the first
frame, offering audiences ‘promises of pleasure’
in terms of production values
• well researched script
• star marketing – John Barrowman
• Torchwood is pure escapist entertainment
• an older target audience will enjoy more graphic
violence than in Doctor Who and will appreciate
the production values.
• Intertextual references to Dr Who
• Cultural Capitol of Cpt. Jack (prior knowledge of
Dancing on Ice etc.)
32. • Captain Jack–is a former con man which
allows audiences to understand him as an anti
hero
• scheduled post watershed gives the
production team some flexibility in developing
challenging narratives.
• John Barrowman appeals to British and
American audiences as a result of his dual
nationality
33. • narrative themes of sexuality - Diversity
• It has its own spin offs including Torchwood
Declassified
• online interactivity - an elaborate interactive
website with links to alternative sites.
• Torchwood Magazine and mini episodes on
mobile phones,
• an alternative reality game show (via the
website),
• podcast commentaries, interactive
adventures, video blogs and other interactive
online games.
• Convergence very much apparent in Torchwood
with particularly younger audiences invited to
interact with the programme on a number of
digital platforms.
34. Torchwood Series 3 Children of Earth
• It was shown on prime time BBC 1 for 5
consecutive nights
• This was attempting the 24 series model
where events occur in real time but going for
5 days
• Usually texts like Silent Witness only go for
two consecutive nights
35. Peep Show
• Is very unique – despite receiving critical
acclaim has always had quite low rating
figures
• By the 6th series ratings rose which could
partly be to do with aiming at an earlier 10pm
slot – DVD sales have always been good
• The stylistic creation of storytelling through
constant POV is both its success and down fall
in finding a wider audience
36. Todorov
• Argued that “a world without a theory of
genre was unthinkable since genre integrates
the reader into the world of the characters
and prepares us for a certain kind of reading’
• In other words genre reduces the complexities
of texts and makes them accessible to us.
• Peep Show hardly has a genre identity but it’s
style and character identities help it to be
received.
37. Q. How do your chosen texts use
genre conventions?
• Or How do your chosen texts use narrative
conventions?
• Consider which texts you would use for either
of these questions – is TV the best industry
here?
