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.
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

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. RHYME SCHEME
• Students often have trouble with rhyme scheme because of the word
“scheme.” Outside of literature, one meaning of “scheme” is a plan for
cheating or getting something illegally.
• “Scheme,” though, has another definition: a system of things or an
arrangement.
• Example: The scheme for the irrigation system included pop-up
sprinklers, drip lines, and misters.
• It’s the second definition that applies to “rhyme scheme.” When you
think of “rhyme scheme,” think “rhyme arrangement.”

UNDERSTANDING RHYME SCHEME
• “Sonnet 65” by William Shakespeare*
1. Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
2. But sad mortality o'er-sways their power,
3. How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
4. Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
5. O, how shall summer's honey breath hold out
6. Against the wreckful siege of battering days,
7. When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
8. Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
9. O fearful meditation! where, alack,
10. Shall Time's best jewel from Time's chest lie hid?
11. Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
12. Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
13. O, none, unless this miracle have might,
14. That in black ink my love may still shine bright.
• Finding the rhyme scheme is
fairly easy. Read the poem to
the right. Notice the coloring
of the words at the ends of
the lines. All the words at the
ends of the lines that have
the same sound are shaded
the same color.
• If you were taking a test and
asked to show the rhyme
scheme of this sonnet, you’d
have to get out crayons or
highlighters to show rhyme
scheme this way. That’s not
practical. There is an easier
way to show rhyme scheme
using the alphabet.

• Use the alphabet to show rhyme scheme,
instead of using colors. Give every rhyme
the same letter.

If you were given the question, “What is the
rhyme scheme of this poem and is it regular
or irregular?” you’re answer would look like
this:
• The rhyme scheme of this poem is
ABABCDCDEFEFGG. It is a regular
rhyme scheme because the first and
third line of each quatrain rhyme, as
do the second and fourth. The final
couplet also rhymes.
You might be saying to yourself, “OK, I get
rhyme scheme, but what good does it do
me?” The answer, dear friend, is on the
next slide.

Shakespearean sonnets all follow the same
form:
• Each has 14 lines.
• There are 3 quatrains that express
related ideas.
• There is the ending couplet that sums
up the author’s point
• The rhyme scheme is almost always the
same.
The first quatrain (4 lines) points out that hard
objects and even the sea are changed over
time.
The second quatrain gives more examples,
such as sweet summer air, rocks, and steel,
that decay over time.
In the third quatrain he wonders how beauty
can hide from Time.
In the couplet, he hopes that this black ink—
this sonnet—will preserve his partner’s beauty.
Think of rhyme scheme as a secret code
that will help you unlock the poet’s
meaning.
6. “I’VE GOT RHYTHM, I’VE GOT MUSIC….” PART 1
• If you caught the allusion in the title of this card, you’re probably a fan of
Ethel Merman or Broadway musicals.
• Rhythm is the musical quality of language produced by repetition,
especially in poetry (also called “verse”). Many literary elements create
rhythm, including alliteration, assonance, consonance, meter, repetition,
and rhyme.
• Meter is a generally regular pattern of stressed ( / ) and unstressed ( )
syllables in poetry or verse. Just as we can measure distance in meters,
we can measure the beats in a poem in meter.
7. • In the beat below, notice that there are five different measures or units to it.
• lub-DUB lub-DUB lub-DUB lub-DUB lub-DUB
• Each unit or measure is made of two separate beats. That means that the whole line has 10
total beats (5 x 2 = 10). The first beat is softer than the second beat. I can use markings to
show the softer and harder (unaccented and accented) beats.
lub-DUB lub-DUB lub-DUB lub-DUB lub-DUB
• Sometimes, though, I’m going to want you to reverse the beat:
• DUB-lub DUB-lub DUB-lub DUB-lub DUB-lub

“I’VE GOT RHYTHM, I’VE GOT MUSIC….” PART 2
21 3 4 5
8. • “Iamb” is the name of the meter lub-DUB as in the word convince. Notice that each syllable
must be marked.
• “Trochee” is the name of the meter DUB-lub as in the word borrow.
• Other types of meter have their own names, too:
• “Anapest” is the name of the meter lub-lub-DUB as in the world contradict.
• “Dactyl” is the name of the meter DUB-lub-lub as in the word accurate.
• “Spondee” is the name of the meter DUB-DUB as in the word seaweed.
There are lots of other names for different meters, but that’s enough for now. If
a poem mostly has iambs, it is called “iambic.
“I’VE GOT RHYTHM, I’VE GOT MUSIC….” PART 3
9. • “Iamb” is the name of the meter lub-DUB as in the word convince. Notice that each
syllable must be marked.
• “Pentameter” begins with the prefix “pent,” which refers to the number 5 (e.g.,
pentagram and pentagon). The root word “meter” refers to measurement.
• Something in “iambic pentameter” has five measures of lub-DUB. Example:
• But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
• Read the above line aloud and put more stress on the syllables with the accent
marks.
“I’VE GOT RHYTHM, I’VE GOT MUSIC….” PART 4
10. “I’VE GOT RHYTHM, I’VE GOT MUSIC….” PART 5
• How does understanding meter help you understand a poem? If the meter is very
simple, like that in a children’s book, that will help you know that the message or
theme of the poem is probably humorous. A complicated meter might indicate a
more complicated theme.
• Just as a poet might change the rhyme scheme for a specific purpose, a change in
meter might indicate that the poet is trying to change the topic or make some
other type of transition. Shakespeare usually had his noble characters (e.g., kings,
queens, generals, etc.) speak in iambic pentameter, but his lower characters (e.g.,
servants and peasants) would speak in regular language.
• If you’re wondering why Shakespeare chose to write in iambs, maybe it’s because
the iamb is the rhythm of the heart beat!
11. • Alliteration = the repeating of the same or very similar consonant sounds usually at the
beginnings of words that are close together
• Examples: Betty Botta bought some butter. “But,” said she, “this butter’s bitter.”
• Allusion = a reference to a person, place, event, or thing from history, literature, sports,
religion, mythology, politics, etc. to make a point
• Example: “I had a terrible game today. I shot like Shaq.”
• Assonance = the repeating of similar vowel sounds followed by different consonant sounds in
words that are close together
• Example: An abbot on an ambling pad….
• Consonance = the repeating of final consonants after different vowel sounds in words that are
close together
• Examples: East and west dug the dog…
• Couplet = two adjacent lines of poetry that rhyme
• Quatrain = a group of four lines unified by rhyme scheme
• Rhyme
• End Rhyme = the repeating of similar vowel sounds at the ends of lines
• Example: I don’t think I will ever see
A sight as lovely as a tree.
• Internal Rhyme = the repeating of similar vowel sounds within lines
• Exampes: The cat in the hat sure got fat off mice and rice.
