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.

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.

Welcome to TechSoup New Member Orientation and Q&A (May 2024).pdf
Question 6 & 7
1. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT
TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT&
LOOKING BACK AT OUR PRELIMINARY
TASK, WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT ?
2. WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT....
• Before going forward and making this thriller opening, I hadn't properly used
any of the equipment or the software to edit and create clips.
• I can now confidently create soundtracks, edit clips, crop clips, re add them
and all things to do with the software. I also now know how to confidently
set up the camera on the tripod or any other form of tripod/gorilla pod etc.
• we tried to use the glide cam but in the end we felt out film would work
better without it as it made shots look messy and not professional.
3. EDITING...
• It took a long time to understand how to edit using Premiere Pro, because of all the different tools,
edit options and cropping techniques.
• Our editing stage was definitely our longest part of the whole thing because it took a lot of time re-
watching clips to see if we made any errors for example in our preliminary task we noticed we could
see our own reflection in the glass and didn't want this to happen again in any point in our thriller
opening.
• If we didn't check every clip for things like this PRELIMINARY TASK EXAMPLE
then it would look very unprofessional and we would lose
marks overall for not noticing and re-evaluating our clips.
4. Editing
• We used transitions between each slide on Premiere Pro to make the titles
look more interesting for the audience. We used a transition called 'sliding
bands' This is where the words flicker onto the screen, here is a screen shot
of the titles mid flicker. After the
flicker the titles appear and then fade out
this also shows how we have tried to make
5. Making the music...
• Originally we was going to use a local band as the music, with their
permission to avoid copyright issues because we feel lyrical songs are more
intriguing to listen to if you are younger which is our target audience. But
due to complications we was not able to use their song which was good in a
way because it challenged our group to make our own songs.
• We used mixcraft to create all of our soundtrack and sound effects. We
distorted some and mixed them in to create a crackling sound to show a
corruption in the headphones of the girl. This was interesting to do because
it allowed me to gain my knowledge on something I had never attempted
before and it worked really well in the finished product.
6. How we feel now...
• I feel so much more confident with all editing software and editing tools because of
the time we spent editing and polishing off our thriller opening. In contrast when
we started the year and started our preliminary task I felt very unsure about using
any software but after this I feel a lot more confident.
• Our storyboarding has also improved, on our preliminary task we spent a lot of
time creating the storyboard instead of actually filming, this time was wasted. So,
with the thriller opening we used all our time effectively and productively to ensure
that we got the task finished in time for the deadline, setting a plan helped us to
stick to this plan.
7. OVERALL....
• I feel so much more confident on all the editing, sound and camera
software's. I can confidently go out and film something and edit it efficiently.
Ensuring there are no errors and for example the mirror problem in the
preliminary task, now I know to always watch back your footage before
moving onto editing. I know to always take 20 minutes worth of filming so
we have a lot of footage to work on and not limited. This allows us to pick
and choose bits from different clips and cross them over and match them up
so they continue on to each other smoothly.
