- The document discusses how various media technologies were used at different stages of a film project, including researching, planning, and evaluation.
- YouTube and Google were used to research short film ideas by watching many online videos. Blogger was used like a diary to document the production process and share updates publicly.
- The finished short film was uploaded as "unlisted" on YouTube so only shared with approved viewers due to safety considerations for filming with cadets.
Whether it’s adopting DevOps, Agile, or full-blown “digital transformation”, any IT leader will tell you the hardest part is changing an organization’s culture. But what does it really mean to change a culture? Part of the reason it’s so hard is because culture can seem, well, kind of squishy to define in the first place.
Culture is less about how much fun people have at the holiday party, or what perks are available to employees. It’s more about what happens when things go wrong. Are people looking for someone else to blame, afraid for their careers? Are issues swept under the rug as soon as services are back online?
In this talk, Dormain Drewitz draws from her history studies, mindful leadership practices, and examples from customers and other organizations. She explains three steps that must be taken to evolve a culture, focusing on outages and failure as the ultimate flashpoint of culture.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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 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

Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
1. How did I use media technologies in
the construction and research,
planning and evaluation stages?
Researching:
When researching, I worked with Alex to come up with some ideas. We looked at short
films on youtube and on google. There are so many out there and so easy to watch. With
the 'new age' of technology and its ever evolving media platforms, it becomes easier and
easier to consume new media.
- Youtube: This allowed me to use and watch short films, also looking at potential music
for my short film. Thousands and millions of people each day watch youtube videos,
surfing the net for the next funny gimmick Youtube allowed me to explore new ideas of
what I was going to put in my film with a click of a button.
- As well as watching and absorbing everyone else's media, I have been able to upload
my own short film so people can view it like I've viewed theirs. HOWEVER!!!! Myself and
Alex have ran into a small issue with the short film. Although we are done with
recording...etc, when uploading it we have had to change the privacy settings. There are
three settings: PUBLIC, UNLISTED AND PRIVATE. Public means that everyone can view
it and it will pop up in suggested links on the website where as unlisted gives you total
control of who views it. Only you can view it and send the link to others so they can watch
it too. Then there's private. No one else can watch this bare from yourself as it is
restricted to the account holder and their use.
2. I have had to upload the video via the 'unlisted' option. This is because as I am a cadet
and have worked with other cadets and within the TA centre, safety is key. We agreed to
them writing slips so we knew they were able to appear in the film but it wasn't allowed to
be spread all over social networks sights. We kind of found a loop hole and discussed
this. Although blogger can be categorised into a 'social networking' site because you can
interact with people all over the world and post stuff it is for educational purposes and not
personal use.
- While in the production stages of our project, we used a lot of resources. We used
blogger for uploading and keeping track with what we're doing. This is almost like a diary;
however it's viral, and everyone can see what you're posting but it works in the same way.
Blogger is used worldwide and this works to my advantage. Many people can stumble on
blogs or sites and they can be spread around the internet hopefully creating positive
publicity. With the new technology age Media 2.0, everything and anything is at our finger
tips. Being able to find anything is so easy and simple and is becoming simpler by the
second.
- I have used programmes and sites like:
- Emaze
- Prezi
- Photoshop
- In design
- Garage band
- Blogger
- Imovie.
These are just a few of the programmes and websites I have used to help create my
project.
