Animation is done by displaying a series of frames of pictures using a wide range of 2D and 3D software. For 2D animation, Tupi, Ajax Animator, Pencil2D, Express Animator, Pivot Stickfigure Animator and TVPaint software are used. However, for 3D animation, Shade 3D, LightWave 3D, K-3D, Autodesk 3ds Max and 3D Movie Maker software are preferred. As a technique, animation began in the 1960s following its introduction by Frank W. Sinden, Michael Noll, Kenneth C. Knowlton, and Edward Zajac. Later, in 1973, animation was used in the production of the film Westworld.

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.

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.
