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
2. Title – The title has the same house style as the rest of
the magazine. This adheres to the codes and
conventions of the magazine as Q’s primary target
audience is male. As this is their target audience, Q
chooses to make the text in bold, black letters to
represent power and masculinity. Also the title is in a
border unlike all of the other text on the page and
this is to attract the readers attention and inform
them of what the page is about. Moreover the
colours used for the title would have been of a similar
colour scheme to the front covers masthead and
house style i.e. red, black, white.
Page numbers - The page numbers adhere to the
codes and conventions of music magazines as they
have the numbers next to the chosen topic of that
page and never the actual word ‘page’. They are
there to show the reader what the pages listed
contain and what number they have to go to, to find
it. The colour of the numbers follow the colour
scheme and house style of Q as they are in black,
like the ‘contents’ title, and are in bold font. Also
the main page numbers are in black in front of
pictures of the artists featured in the article as well
as in the article column. This helps them to stand
out as the most important features/articles in the
magazine. All of the page numbers are in a list-style
format at each side of the double page spread and
this gives the magazine a clean, cool-cut look as well
as it being easy to navigate.
Headings and subheadings– These are used to
give the reader/audience an idea of what kind of
articles and content they will find within the
magazine. They are bold and have a thick red
underline to emphasise the importance of the
different articles the magazine contains. They fit
the house style of the magazine and they stand
out to the reader. The only main headings on the
contents page are ‘Features’ and ‘Regulars’; they
are both in a separate style to the other article
headings to show their importance and structure
of the magazine. ‘Features’ emphasises what is
featured in the magazine as they are mostly one
offs and interest readers who aren't the usual
audience of Q as they may have an article about a
certain celebrity/music artist that the reader likes.
‘Regulars’ is used to show the readers, specifically
regular readers/subscribers/collectors of the
magazine, what is always going to be in Q e.g. ‘Q
Quiz’.
Summaries of each article – These give the reader a
brief description of what the article is going to be about.
Usually they will include the key/most exciting
information to make the reader want to read more.
They are in a box in the same colour scheme as the
magazine and this makes them stand out as they are
the only things in boxes on the sides of the page. The
picture linked with the summary, the page number and
the article summary are all in conjunction with each
other so they don’t confuse the reader.
Photograph of main artist – This is of the article about ’Take That’. The picture is of the band, in a very relaxed and happy shot. Q has chosen this to be their main
image as Take That are a widely known pop band that have been around for decades, therefore it appeals to their target audience as both men and women in the
upper bracket of their audience age will be most interested in that genre of music and the band. Take That look very comfortable, playful and happy in this image.
This engages the reader as they will aspire to be like them with their friends as they clearly have a strong friendship bond. The colour of this main image is black
and white to emphasise that Take That is a classic pop band that have been around for a long time. It also gives them a cool, retro representation and this not only
ties in with where their music originated, but also links in with the house style of the magazine. It also helps the band to stand out against the other articles as it is
in black and white whereas the other images and texts on the page are in colour. Black and white has connotations of class, tradition and slickness as they are
bold, classic colours. This helps to describe the artists in the image. Also by having this as their main image, not only will it appeal to Q’s target audience, but could
also attract attention of fans of Take That, therefore increasing the sales of this issue of Q and possibly gaining them more customers in the future.
Other photographs – These aren't as important as the
main image but still play a vital role of marketing Q. The
other images will be of a similar genre to the main
image; so pop, R&B, alternative. The artists in these
images may/may not be as well known as the artist in
the main image as they will sometimes be up and
coming to the music industry. The other images will be
smaller than the main image therefore representing the
level of importance of each image.
Date – This is just so collectors can see when the
magazine was released and when the next issue is likely
to come out.
Layout – On contents pages it is usually set out in
ordered blocks so it’s easy for the reader to read quickly
and get the key information on articles in the magazine.
This adheres to the codes and conventions of a
magazine. Also there will never be a blank space on a
contents page as there is a lot of information to put in
and it is unneeded.
Subscription information – Magazines usually have
information on it so they can adhere to the codes and
conventions. Furthermore this is just used for potential
new customers to subscribe to every issue of Q and also
for collectors as they will be able to get every issue of Q.
3. Title – The title has the same house style as the rest of
the magazine. This adheres to the codes and
conventions of the magazine as NME’s primary target
audience is male. As this is their target audience,
NME chooses to make the text in bold, red letters to
represent power and masculinity. Also the title is in a
thick border at the top unlike all of the other text on
the page and this is to attract the readers attention
and inform them of what the page is about. Moreover
the colours used for the title would have been of a
similar colour scheme to the front covers masthead
and house style i.e. red, black, white.
Page numbers - The page numbers adhere to the
codes and conventions of music magazines as they
have the numbers next to the chosen topic of that

there to show the reader what the pages listed
contain and what number they have to go to, to find
it. The colour of the numbers follow the colour
scheme and house style of NME as they are in red,
like the ‘NME’ title, and are in bold font. All of the
page numbers are in a list-style format on the right
side of the double page spread and this gives the
magazine a clean, cool-cut look as well as it being
easy to navigate.
Headings and subheadings– These are used to
give the reader/audience an idea of what kind of
articles and content they will find within the
magazine. They are bold and have a thick black
boarder to emphasise the importance of the
different articles the magazine contains. They fit
the house style of the magazine and they stand
out to the reader. The main headings on the
contents page are ‘News’, ‘Radar’, ‘Reviews’,
‘Live!’ and ‘Features’; they are all in a separate
style to the other article headings to show their
importance and structure of the magazine. ‘News’
is to let the reader in on the new music
information in the music industry and generally
what is going on.‘Radar’ is there to show off new
bands/artists up and coming to the music scene.
‘Reviews’ is there to show the readers what music
critics think of
bands/albums/tracks/concerts/gigs. ‘Live!’ is to
tell the reader about what gigs and concerts are
happening in the near future/past. ‘Features’
emphasises what is featured in the magazine as
they are mostly one offs and interest readers who
aren't the usual audience of NME as they may
have an article about a certain celebrity/music
artist that the reader likes.
Summaries of each article – These give the reader a
brief description of what the article is going to be
about. Usually they will include the key/most
exciting information to make the reader want to

of the page. The picture linked with the summary,
the page number and the article summary are all in
conjunction with each other so they don’t confuse
the reader.
Photograph of main artist – This is of the article about ’Muse’. The picture is of the band, in a shot of them performing at what looks like a gig. NME has chosen
this to be their main image as Muse are a widely known alternative rock band among their target audience. This will interest the target audience as they will most
likely listen to Muse or similar bands due to their demographic. Muse look very comfortable, in the zone and professional in this image. This engages the reader as
they will aspire to be like them/go to their kind of gigs with their friends as they clearly have a strong professional band as well as being cool and interesting. The
colour of this fairly dark and grunge-esque as it was shot at a gig and reflects the ethos of the band and their nature.. It also gives them a cool, retro
representation and this not only ties in with where their music originated, but also links in with the house style of the magazine. It also helps the band to stand
out against the other articles as it is the only picture on the contents page. Also by having this as their main image, not only will it appeal to NME’s target
audience, but could also attract attention of fans of Muse who don’t read NME usually, therefore increasing the sales of this issue of Q and possibly gaining them
more customers in the future.
Date – This is just so collectors can see when the magazine was
released and when the next issue is likely to come out.

Band index – This is an extra feature of NME and allows
easy access and navigation to the specific bands you
want to see in the magazine. This is good for the readers
who only bought the issue of the magazine to see an
article about a certain artist.

Photograph of main artist – This is of the article about ’John Lennon’. The picture is of the artist, in a very professional and serious shot. Q has chosen this to be
their main image as John Lennon is a widely known influential artist that was been for decades (alone and in The Beatles), therefore it appeals to their target
audience as both men and women in the upper bracket of their audience age will be most interested in that genre of music and the band/individual artist. John
Lennon looks very professional yet comfortable, serious in this image. This engages the reader as they will aspire to be like him as well as interested as to why he
is perceived to be like this. The colour of this main image is black and white to emphasise that John Lennon is a classic artist and that his legacy and music has
