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.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.

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

4. Honing Your Skills
• The best thing you can do to
improve your own writing is to
read the writing of others.
Focus on successful novels to
try to glean tips and tidbits
from the author’s writing style.
What is it about the book
you’re reading that makes it so
deliciously interesting? What
type of plot and characters
intrigue you the most? What
writing style does the general
audience tend to gravitate
towards.
5. Practice Your Craft
• Write regularly and often; the
more you write, the better you
will become. Although it is
most helpful to actively work
on the book or essay that you
are hoping to get published,
taking time in your day to write
about anything will be
beneficial. Keep a journal to
write things in while you stand
in line running errands or
sitting on the bus.
6. Network with Other Writers
• Meeting published writers as well as fellow aspiring writers will provide
you with support, encouragement and advice. Fellow writers may also
introduce you to editors, publishers and agents and acquaint you with
other helpful resources.
7. Proofread your Manuscript
• Although you could have sworn
you didn’t make any spelling or
grammatical errors in your first
draft, it is almost guaranteed
that doing a quick run through
your manuscript will reveal a
few basic errors. No matter
how small the mistake, it is
imperative that you correct all
errors. To avoid embarrassment
and a possible turn-down,
proofread your manuscript
heavily before sending it to be
edited by someone else or to a
publisher.
8. Choose a Publishing Market
• With a completed manuscript
that has been wholly edited,
it is time to find publishers to
send it to. Before you can do
that though, you must first
select the publishing market
that best suits your work. For
example, visit the Horror
Writers of America or the
Romance Writers of America
websites to see affiliated
publishing agents.
9. Publishing Your Work
• This is the person who will help to build your reputation and give you an in
in the publishing world. Often, many publishing houses won’t receive
manuscripts from authors without an agent. Look into agents who work
for authors in your genre or who work in your area. Obviously hiring the
most successful agents will give you the best chance of getting published,
but this costs much more money than hiring less successful agents.

11. Accept Your Response
• After all your time waiting, you will
eventually receive a response about
your manuscript. If you are accepted
and they want to publish your book,
look into the financial side, getting a
copyright for your story, and rights
you retain as the publisher. If you are
turned down, don’t take it
personally. Books are refused for
publishing on a regular basis for a
wide variety of reasons other than
poor plot; your publisher may
already be publishing a similar book,
isn’t into your style, or wants you to
change some aspects of it.
