French Revolution: Part 1-Powerpoint
The French Revolution began in 1789 as the poor economic state of France led to unrest among the lower and middle classes against the aristocracy and Catholic Church. The Third Estate demanded fair treatment and more political power. This led to the formation of the National Assembly and the storming of the Bastille prison. By 1791 some concessions had been made, abolishing privileges of the nobility and granting rights to Protestants and Jews, but the monarchy still maintained significant power and the social hierarchy was still largely intact, setting the stage for further conflict.
French revolution timeline
The French Revolution was a major turning point in European history that transformed France from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy and, later, a republic. Rising social and economic pressures increased tensions under the inefficient rule of King Louis XVI and the nobility, leading to the storming of the Bastille and the abolition of feudalism. The Revolution soon turned more radical under figures like Robespierre, establishing a repressive Reign of Terror to consolidate power and defend the Revolution from foreign threats, at the cost of thousands of lives. After the overthrow of Robespierre, a moderate republican system was established, though it struggled with instability until the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Goya
This document provides a summary of the life and works of Spanish painter Francisco de Goya. It notes that he was born in 1746 and apprenticed under various painters before gaining popularity painting for Spanish royalty. Some of his early works were in a Baroque style. He is known for his tapestry cartoons in the 1770s-1790s depicting Spanish social classes. In the 1800s his works grew darker in response to the French Revolution and Spain's independence war. His later "Black Paintings" and prints like "The Disasters of War" were surreal and expressed disillusionment. Goya had a profound influence on later artistic movements like Impressionism, Expressionism and Surrealism.
Industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution consisted of major economic, technological, and social changes that began in the late 18th century in Britain and spread throughout Europe and North America. Key factors that drove the Industrial Revolution included the Agricultural Revolution, which increased food supply and allowed more people to move to cities to work in factories; demographic changes including decreasing death rates and increasing populations; and new ideas of economic liberalism. The First Industrial Revolution saw the development of factories powered by steam engines and the rise of industries like textiles and iron production.

Europe after the French Revolution: Restoration and the revolutions of 1820,...
The Congress of Vienna was convened in 1814-1815 after Napoleon's defeat. It restored monarchies deposed by Napoleon and reorganized Europe's political map. However, it failed to suppress revolutionary ideas of liberalism and nationalism that led to the 1820, 1830, and 1848 revolutions. The 1820 revolutions in Italy, Spain, and Germany were crushed by the Holy Alliance. The 1830 revolutions brought a constitutional monarchy to France and independence to Belgium. The 1848 "Springtime of the Peoples" revolutions saw the greatest unrest across Europe but were ultimately defeated, though they weakened the post-Napoleonic order and led to further reforms and national unification movements in Germany and Italy later in

The age of imperialism
During the late 19th century, powerful European nations and imperial powers like Great Britain, France, and Germany colonized much of Africa and Asia in pursuit of raw materials, new markets, and national prestige through building overseas empires. This period of imperial expansion, known as the Age of Imperialism, saw European powers divide up Africa at the Berlin Conference without input from Africans.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
