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
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.

AcTIVITy: A Route around Squares in Cordoba
DAy: Saturday, 7th
May 2014
TIME: From 10:30 to 12:00
PLAcE TO START: Colon Square
PLAcE TO fINISh: Conde de Priego Square
by: Children involved in “Profundiza Programme”
2. Colon or Columbus Square is one of the most popular places of Cordoba. Located in the downtown
area of the city, in the centre of the square there are gardens with a large variety of trees. Its name comes
from the Convent of Merced, situated in front of the square, where Christopher Columbus was stayed
waiting for the end of Granada conquers by the Catholic Monarchs. This was the condition that they put
him to support its mission to India. The gardens have got a beautiful fountain at its center, carried out in
Modernist style for the late nineteenth century.
“COLON SQUARE”
3. “CAPUCHINOS SQUARE”
Capuchinos Square, also known as Christ of Lanterns Square, is a cobbled square and we can access to it
from Conde Torres Cabrera Street or Bailío Slope.
Capuchinos Square opened in the seventeenth century on some houses of the Marquis of Almunia. Its
conformation occurs by the construction of the Capuchinos Convent in 1633 and the Church of Dolores,
which is finished in 1728.
In 1794, the monument to Christ of the Lanterns was built, which stands at its center with the protection of a
small iron gate around it. The stone sculpture of Christ was made by Juan Navarro León. Originally, it was
called Christ of Mercy and Grievance. Popularly it is called the Christ of Lanterns, because of the lanterns
that light it up at night.
4. “Cuesta del Bailío” was historically one of the communication between the upper and lower city crossing
the Roman Wall. Until 1711 there was an arch which gave name to this area (Portillo or Arco Corbacho).
The Bailío Slope begins in Carbonell and Morand Street to Alfaros Street. 31 of its steps are paved with
decorative designs, with a nice fountain on the top. These steps were built in the year 1943.
At the end, we can see the House of Bailío, with beautiful Renaissance facade. The palatial house on the
top of Fernandez de Cordoba family and a dignity of this family (Bailiff) gave the final name to this place.
This house by Hernán Ruiz II is a good example of the Cordoba Architecture from the sixteenth century to
the eighteenth century.
“BAILÍO SLOPE”
5. The white marble fountain located in the middle of las Dueñas or Cardenal Toledo Square, gives it a lordly
court appearance. Neat and tidy, it is a beautiful Cordovan corner. This square was built after the
confiscation of the Convent of Santa María de las Dueñas in 1868, but the original target was to build a
garden. However, due to the poor conditions of this building, it was decided in 1869 its transformation into
a square.
In 1945 Víctor Escribano Ucelay designs the nice fountain of the current square. Later in the 90s, the
square is restored again.
“CARDENAL TOLEDO SQUARE”
6. According to oral tradition the house of Seneca was located in this area. The Cordovan philosopher was
born around the year 4 BC and he was considered the most important figure of the Roman culture in
Cordoba. Popularly, this place is known as the square of the "Headless" by the presence of a Roman
statue which is missing its head. The floor is paved with the typical small polished Cordovan stones that
are fine and elegant.
“SENECA SQUARE”
7. The church of San Francisco and San Eulogio and the current square next to it belonged, originally, to
the Franciscan convent of San Pedro el Real founded in the thirteenth century. There are two floors of
archways. For every two arches above there is one arch below. The arches are semicircular and are
supported on Tuscan columns capitals.
The process of restoration of the old convent of San Pedro el Real was carried out in two phases: the
first between April 1990 and 1997, and the second between November 2003 and December 2007, when
the works completed.
“SAN FRANCISCO SQUARE”
8. It is a popular place of Cordoba, next to the Guadalquivir River.
This square is named like this because of the fountain built in the middle of it. This square was the
center of a popular and artisan district. There were many inns around the square that housed travelers
arriving in the city but today there is only one. This inn takes its name from the square and it was the
home of Miguel de Cervantes during his stay in the city. It is mentioned in Don Quixote. This inn is now
considered an artistic monument. The old Charity Hospital was here too, which today it is the Museum
of Fine Arts and the Museum of Julio Romero de Torres.
It is possible that the names of the square and the inn come from the Cattle fair in the middle Ages
celebrated near the square, where people sold their horses.
“EL POTRO SQUARE”
9. This place used to be held traditional games with reeds in the middle Ages that has survived until the
early eighteenth century and were recovered in the Modern Age by Philip IV. The richly dressed knights
participated in this game of Moorish origin with canes and shields, throwing the cane each other.
“CAÑAS SQUARE”
10. “CORREDERA SQUARE”
It is one of the most emblematic places in Cordoba. The square has not changed since the XVII century,
when it was designed by the architect Antonio Ramos from Salamanca.
This is the only rectangular main square in Andalusia, as well as the Plaza Mayor of Madrid and Salamanca.
It is located in a place where, one day, a Roman amphitheatre was built.
We can find colouring elements of the Andalusian architecture in this semi- regular square.
It has its entrance through the Arco Alto (High Arch) and Arco Bajo (Low Arch). Under Arab control, it could
perfectly be a place for commercial exchanges. Corredera Square was always a key point for commercial
exchange until the XXI Century.
In the XVII Century bullfights were celebrated here and Horse Races too.
The Market Sánchez Peña and Doña Ana Jacinta houses are buildings that shape this square. The current
market Sánchez Peña was a headquarters town hall and a jail until the nineteenth century. In 1846, the
businessman José Sánchez Peña bought the building and installed there a factory of hats. The workers had
their homes in the upper part of the building.
11. “ORIVE SQUARE”
Orive square has three entrances: the first from San Pablo Street on its north side; the second from
Villalones Street its eastern side; and the third from Orive Gardens by a gate next to Orive Palace, on the
southwest side.
Orive Orchard, recovered as a public garden in 2004, is situated at the back of Orive Palace. This is the
finest example of Renaissance architecture Cordovan work by Hernán Ruiz II in 1560. The garden retrieves
the palace and green-gardens of the Convent of San Pablo. There is an unfinished chapter inside the
convent.
12. “CONDE DE PRIEGO SQUARE”
There were three buildings in this square: Santa Isabel Convent, Conde de Priego House and Marqueses
de Guadalcázar House. In the XV Century people talk about a Palace of Conde de Priego which is the
current name of this square. Nowadays, we can see here just part of the convent at the wall in the South.
In the centre of this Square we can see a sculpture dedicated to the most important bullfighter in Cordoba,
Manolete, a work by Álvarez Laviada in collaboration with the architect Luis Moya. When this figure died in
the middle of the XX century, people asked for something in his honour, so the Town hall organised a
Bullfighting Festival to collect money for this monument. Santa Marina Church is opposite the sculpture and
it is one of the main Fernandina churches in Cordoba, being like a symbol of this area
