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.

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

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. My main image will consist of a male character at a medium
close up. They will look straight into the camera for direct
address. Many magazines do this so I will use this too. This will
give the reader a sense of connectedness with the character. As
well as this the image will be shot in a studio, this is so I can edit
out the background and add in a background which fits my
magazine better. Many magazines already do this and if I edit out
the background to a plain background all the focus will be on the
character. The character will be wearing an outfit which
represents the genre. For example, they will be wearing black
jeans a black top and possibly a jean jacket. This outfit will look
like the typical band member for a rock band. A prop will also be
used such as a guitar to again reinforce the idea of a rock band.
The main image will draw in the right audience because the
character will instantly portray a rock genre. The image will also
be quite large and will be the main focus of the cover page. This
is what my audience look for first when they look at a magazine
front cover.
For my sub-images I will take pictures of vinyls, merchandise,
“bands” and musical instruments. These again will show that the
magazine is a rock magazine. And the sub-images will be a taster
of what is inside, hopefully persuading the audience to look
inside and buy the magazine.
Cover page
3. Contents page
For my contents pages I will have a female character. This is
because I used a male on the front cover and I want to show that
this magazine is for both genders. My character will be looking to
the right hand side and will be singing into the microphone, almost
looking like they are shouting. This shows the rebellious side of my
audience and the genre. This helps the audience connect with the
magazine. My character is also not looking at the camera so there is
a sense of mystery. The shot I will use is a medium long shot. So I
have my character from the knees up. This is so we can focus on
her singing, her facial expressions and also her guitar. I will shoot
this in the studio so I can edit out the background.
By only using one image, this will give my magazine a minimalistic
look so it will look organised and clear. The contents will be situated
on the right hand side underneath different headings. This will be
clear to find and easy to read.
My character will be wearing a band t-shirt, and jeans. This is so my
character look like they are in part of a band. The merchandise they
wear will be a rock band. To again reinforce the rock genre.
4. Double page spread
For my double page spread I will have 3 characters as a band. There will
be one large image (the main image) on the left hand side. This will be an
out of studio shot, so the image will look professional and will give the
readers a chance to see the band in another setting other than the
usual- at a concert. The type of shot will be a long shot so you can see all
of the characters and their props. The character on the left will have a
guitar which will lean against them, the middle will have drum sticks and
the one closest to the right will also have a guitar which they will be
holding. The top of the guitar will go over to the right hand side of the
page. The main text will go around this. This makes the reader notice the
guitar and the guitar portrays the genre. On the right hand side there will
be the main text. With 3 smaller images located at the bottom of the
page. These images will be of the band out of the studio again, so the
audience can connect with them and see the band as they usually are.
One image will be a live image from a concert. The images will all be in
black and white like the MCR images to your right. This will give the
article an old school vibe which links to the band and the music they
play. Which will be classic rock.
The clothes they wear will be dark colours- grey,black,navy etc. This
again shows that the band play rock music. As rock band members
usually wear dark colours.
