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
Scientix 8th SPWatFCL Brussels 16-18 October 2015: Teachers like Quantum Spin-Off
1. Brussels, 19-06-2015
Quantum Spin-Off
working with teachers
Adina Nistor
8th Science Projects’ Workshop in the Future Classroom Lab,
16-18 October 2015
Quantum Spin-Off project is funded by the European Commission. This communication reflects
the views of the author, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may
be made of the information contained herein.
5. Why ?
High-tech research and entrepreneurship
strongly present in Europe
5
For teachers:
Provide tools and a pedagogy to connect pupils
with the ‘lives of real-life’ researchers and for
teaching these modern fields
6. How?
Try-out of 1 school year (in each of the 4 countries)
• Every class coupled to a researcher
• Scientific paper
• Quantum physics in the classrooms and experiments
• Visit a research lab and a (spinoff) company
• Students think socially useful and responsible application
or service (‘start’ spinoff)
• Basics of entrepreneurship (business model canvas)
• Contest: Quantum Spin-Off Prize (National SpinOff day &
EU final)
6
7. FOR teachers & their students:
1. Learning material
2. Teachers guidelines
3. Contact during the Try-out
4. Two National teacher trainings in each of the 4
countries
5. Two Summer schools
7
8. Teacher trainings in 2014-2015
2 National teacher trainings:
1 per country
(20-30 participants per country)
2 Summer schools:
(9 and 7 participants respectively from BE, EE, GR,
CH)
Several participating teachers took
part in the try-out 2014-2015
8
9. - Teachers: five times during the project duration
(trainings, try-out and website)
- Researchers: once during the project duration
Feedback collection
10. Data collected through:
• A set of Questionnaires allowing systematic analysis and
comparison of the outcomes of the activities at each step of
the project:
• Pre-questionnaire – few days before the activities/during the
first 10’ of each activity
• Post-questionnaire – during the last 10’ of each activity
• Teachers’ stories (open-ended questions)
How?
11. Data collected
Quantitative data:
• Demographic data (country, subjects taught, students age,
teaching experience)
• Event analysis (teachers’ knowledge, content of the training,
event in general
Qualitative data:
• Recommendations
• Teachers’ stories

15. Evaluation results
EE
•1 teacher (Physics) with support from a Economics teacher – business model
evaluation
•Students reacted to the participation call – created the group
• Students worked independently and tried out experiments in groups + seminar
discussions (focused on essential in the phenomena of the micro and quantum
world).+ new ideas from additional materials red by students
•Ready to use: No adaptation of Learning mat needed but guidance and
explanations; some topics too high level/difficult for 10th grade students therefore
not very clear and coincise; Learning mat presented in small coincise portions with
concrete actvities: learning process - scientific inquiry
•Time constrains: to deepen into nano field; not all materials used
•Students feedback/outcome: Students enjoyed the novelty and charm of the
process; they learnt that in the world of tiny particles, things are different than in
the world that we see around us; however, some phenomena not very logical, had
to be explained via a model
