Introduction to AI for Nonprofits with Tapp NetworkTechSoup
Dive into the world of AI! Experts Jon Hill and Tareq Monaur will guide you through AI's role in enhancing nonprofit websites and basic marketing strategies, making it easy to understand and apply.
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.

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.

2. Visit this page on the NASA site to
learn more about the Space
Shuttle 747 ferry.
http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/shuttle
3. Transporting the Shuttle
While the Shuttle can fly in space, it wasn’t built to fly on Earth. It only
glides. This is why it needs to piggyback on the 747.
4. Transporting the Shuttle
NASA outfitted two 747 jets for the sole purpose of transporting Space
Shuttles from one location to another on Earth.
5. Transporting the Shuttle
Because its only “passenger” is the shuttle, the inside of the 747 has no
seats or any other equipment normally found inside a passenger plane.
6. Transporting the Shuttle
The Shuttle is anchored in place on top of the 747, a process that takes
hours to complete.
7. Transporting the Shuttle
So, the combined weight of the 747 and the Shuttle is made up of two fixed
quantities, the individual weights of the two aircraft.
9. Transporting the Shuttle
First, there is the 747 itself, as well as the seats and other equipment to
hold the passengers and luggage.
10. Transporting the Shuttle
Next, there are two variables: (1) the number of passengers, with a
maximum of 500; (2) the combined weight of the passengers and
baggage.
12. • Assumptions:
• Full capacity (500 seats)
• Average weight of a
passenger: 100 lbs
• Average weight of baggage:
150 lbs
Transporting the Shuttle
To compare the weights of the two 747s, we need to make some
assumptions.
13. 747 with 747 with
Shuttle Passengers
747 300,000 450,000
Shuttle 165,000
Passengers 50,000
Luggage 75,000
Total 465,000 575,000
Transporting the Shuttle
Comparing the weights of the two 747s, you can see that the one carrying
the Shuttle weighs less. (Note: The weight of fuel isn’t included, since it
would be common to both scenarios.)
14. Transporting the Shuttle
Not only does the 747 with the Shuttle weigh less, it flies at about half the
altitude, meaning much less energy required. It also travels at a slower
speed, which also saves fuel.
