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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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

Specific heat capacity
The amount of heat energy needed to increase the
temperature of 1 Kg of a substance by 1 K is called
the specific heat capacity.
It is expressed in
Joules per Kg per
Kelvin.

The specific heat of a substance can also be defined as the
change in internal energy E with respect to temperature T. Thus,
If the substance is a gas then it is important to specify whether
the gas is being held at constant volume or constant pressure.
For solids the difference is negligible.
The internal Energy, E of a solid is the combination of the total
kinetic energy (due to motion) and potential energy (due to
intermolecular forces) of the molecules in the solid.
Specific heat capacity
C = (∂E/∂T)
8. 8
It states that solids have a constant heat capacity. It was explained
by considering every atoms as independent classical oscillator
vibrating independently of each other.
The average energy of an atom per degree of freedom is kT. So for
N oscillators/atoms with 3 degree of freedom, the energy is
E=3NkT.

Dulong and Petit’s Law
It is a good approximation for the measured values for solids at room
temperatures or high temperature.
At low temperatures the Dulong and Petit value is not a good
approximation
Dulong and Petit’s Law Curve
10. 10
Motivation to Other’s Theory
The shape of the curve for T near
zero is thus of interest. It appears
to be proportional to a power of
T, say T² or T³.
With decrease in temperature,
heat capacity also decreases and is
zero at 0 K
11. 11
Einstein’s Theory
In this model, solid is considered as the collection of individual
atoms/oscillators vibrating independently of each other. But
instead of classical oscillator, Einstein considered quantum
oscillators so that they can have only discrete energy values.
Einstein treated the atoms in a crystal as N simple harmonic
oscillators, all having the same frequency 𝝑. The frequency 𝝑
depends on the strength of the restoring force acting on the atom,
i.e. the strength of the chemical bonds within the solid.
Since the equation of motion for each atom decomposes into three
independent equations for the x, y and z components of
displacement, and N atom solid is equivalent to 3N harmonic
oscillators, each vibrating independently at frequency 𝝑.

Where k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the absolute temperature, 𝝑 is the
vibrating frequency of atoms, h is the plank’s constant and 𝑻𝒆 is the Einstein
Temperature (which is different for each solid, and reflect the rigidity of
lattice)
Einstein’s Theory

However, the values of specific heat using this model do not
match with the experimental values at very low
temperatures.
At the high temperature limit, when 𝑻 >> 𝑻𝒆 (and

Einstein heat capacity reduces to 𝑪𝑽=3Nk, the Dulong and petit law.
At the low temperature limit, when T<<𝑻𝒆(and

However, the values of specific heat using this model do not

15. 15
Debye’s Theory
Debye improved on Einstein’s theory by treating the coupled
vibrations of the solid in terms of 3N normal modes of vibration of
the whole system, each with its own frequency.
The lattice vibrations are therefore equivalent to 3N independent
harmonic oscillators with these normal mode frequencies.
The collective vibrational modes can accept energy only in
discrete amounts (quanta of energy is called phonon).
Hence there is a continuous range of frequencies that cuts off at a
maximum frequency 𝝑𝑫, which is the characteristic of a particular
solid.
The normal modes are the frequencies of the standing waves that
are possible in the medium.

At low temperature limit,
Debye Model can show accurate values of specific
heat capacity for solids.
Debye’s Theory
17. 17
The key difference between Debye and Einstein model is that the Debye
model treats vibrations of the atomic lattice as phonons in a box whereas
Einstein model treats solids as many individual, non-interacting quantum
harmonic oscillators.
Summary

Applications
Substances having a small specific heat capacity can be quickly
heated up, it also experience a big change in temperature even
though only small amount of heat is supplied.
Substances having a small specific heat capacity, are very useful as
material in cooking instruments such as frying pans, pots, kettles
and so on, because, they can be quickly heated up even when small
amount oh heat is supplied.
Sensitive thermometers also must be made from materials with
small specific heat capacity so that it can detect and show a change
of temperature rapidly and accurately.
19. 19
Substances that have a high specific heat capacity is suitable as a
material for constructing kettle handlers, insulators and oven
covers, because, a high amount of heat will cause only a small
change in temperature aka the material won't get hot too fast!
Heat storage instruments are very useful and they are usually
made of substances with a high specific heat capacity.
Water as a cooling agent acts excellent as a cooling agent in
engines. Water is also used in houses in cold climate countries
because as it is heated up (boiled) it tends to retain heat and warm
the house due to its high specific heat capacity.
Applications
The internal Energy of a solid is the combination of the total kinetic energy (due to motion) and potential energy (due to intermolecular forces) of the molecules in the solid.
With the increase of temperature, there will be an increase in the internal energy of the substance.
The internal Energy of a solid is the combination of the total kinetic energy (due to motion) and potential energy (due to intermolecular forces) of the molecules in the solid.
With the increase of temperature, there will be an increase in the internal energy of the substance.
Note that this treatment is a gross approximation, since in reality the lattice vibrations are very complicated coupled oscillations. M
In Debye model, solid is considered as the collection of individual atoms/oscillators but instead vibrating independently, they are strongly coupled together.
For low frequency vibrations, defined as those for which the wavelength is much greater than the atomic spacing, λ >> a, the crystal may be treated as a homogeneous elastic medium.
