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.

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

6. POLITICAL MESSAGE
This is the famous “This Land”
cartoon. It is seen as a strong
influential message during the
2004 Presidential Election.
What is the message behind
this cartoon? Was it the
motivation of those behind its
creation to influence our political
system or was the primary
purpose to produce publicity for
their company?
8. POLITICAL MESSAGE
Snide TV produced a funny political
cartoon during the Presidential
Primary Election of 2008. “Obama
On the Run” Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama musically argue it
out over who is the better candidate
in this song satirizing "Anything You
Can Do I Can Do Better." The
cartoon focuses on the narcissistic
characteristics of both Hillary
Clinton and Barack Obama. All
candidates are narcissists at heart.
10. POLITICAL MESSAGE
The Republican National
Committee produced “John Kerry:
International Man Of Mystery”
during the 2004 presidential
election. This campaign
advertisement pokes fun at John
Kerry’s assertion that he is in
contact with world leaders who are
not comfortable with President
George W. Bush. The theme is set
to “Austin Powers”. Enjoy the video.
12. ELITSE-MASS COMMUNICATION
Mass Media are the Primary Channels of
Communication between Elites and Masses
Means of Communication
• Television communicates emotions and
information.
• News executives, reporters, editors, anchors,
and producers decide what will be news.
13. MEDIA POLITICAL FUNCTIONS
Mass Media have Political Functions in Society.
• They have the power to set the agenda of issues.
• Their liberal bias is toward bad-news.
• Supreme Court decisions support mass media on no prior
restraint and absence of malice issues.
• The Federal Communications Commission supports mass
media on fairness issues.
Mass media is the principal link between political candidates
and the voters.

rather than issues.
• Political campaigning through mass media is very costly.
Mass Media mainly influence what people know, think, and
talking about.
14. SELLING ISSUES TO SOCIETY
The mass media’s greatest
power is the ability to decide
what will be decided. How do
interest groups direct mass
opinion today? We will examine
a marketing campaign led by
the “Consumers Union” that
addresses the issue of
prescription cost. Humor very
effective in pulling on emotional
heartstrings. The ending directs
viewers to a website that states
the primary purpose of this clip.
16. SELLING ISSUES TO SOCIETY
President Bill Clinton and First
Lady Hillary Clinton proposed
comprehensive healthcare
legislation to provide health
