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.

2. Introduction
Here we are giving brief
overview on typography, its
significance, typefaces,
categories & classification of
typefaces, typeface
anatomy and basic
typography terminology….
Also you will read about
some practical guidelines
about the use of typefaces
4. “Typography is means by which words,
conceived in someone’s mind and then
put down on paper are made
available to the world at large."
5. Significance
Typography forms integral part of a good graphic design.
Largely used to create moods.
Crucial in the design of advertisements, magazines, newspaper
and corporate identities.
Different fonts suggest different context & ideas.
Some typefaces even have special functions.
7. We describe the size of type in points and picas, not inches.
There are approximately 12 points to a pica and 6 picas to an
inch.
10 12 16 20 24 32 36 48 6080
8. Points & Picas
While fonts are measured in points, pages are measured in
picas (column width).
12 points = 1pica
6 picas = 1 inch
14. Script
Script typefaces are based upon the varied and often fluid
stroke created by handwriting. They are organized into highly
regular formal types similar to cursive writing and looser, more
casual scripts.
15. Decorative/Ornamental
It includes typefaces of
unusual and unique designs
that do not fit into other
classification. Decorative
and display typefaces are
generally reserved for
specific purposes. They are
most effective when used at
larger sizes, such as for
headlines, titles & display
purposes( eg:newspapers &
advertisements).

River
Sentence spacing
Widows and orphans
21. Punctuation

certain typographical devices as aids to the understanding
and correct reading, both silently n aloud, of handwritten &
printed texts. Common terms used are:
Hanging punctuation
Hyphenation
Quotation mark

Pica
Point
Thin space
25. TypeTraits
Kerning: space between characters
Leading: space between lines of type
Tracking: space between words + characters
(how a line of text is spaced out at the PARAGRAPH level)
26. Kerning
In typography, kerning- less commonly, mortising (referring to
the process of physically removing material from the cast
character)- is the process of adjusting letter spacing in
a proportional font. In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional
blank spaces between each pair of letters all have similar area.
27.
28. Leading
In typography, leading (pronounced /ˈlɛdɪŋ/, rhymes
with heading) refers to the amount of added
vertical spacing between lines of type. In consumer-oriented
word processing software, this concept is usually referred to
as "line spacing“.
29.
30. Tracking
Tracking is very similar to kerning in that it is the spacing
between individual characters, but tracking is the space
between groups of letters rather than individual letters. It
affects the overall character density of the copy. It’ll
help to eliminate widows and orphans in paragraphs.
31.
32. LetterSpacing
In typography, letter-spacing, also called tracking, refers to the
amount of space between a group of letters to affect density in
a line or block of text. Since the advent of personal computers
the term tracking is frequently used. In professional
typography and graphic design the term letter-spacing is more
commonly used.
33.
34.
35. Do’s
Do establish a typographic hierarchy
Do choose an appropriate font for the body text
Do give your text room to breathe
Try & limit paragraphs to 40-60 characters per line
Make sure there is enough contrast between your text and
the background
36. Don’ts
Don’t make the text too small
Don’t use too many different fonts on one page
Don’t make continuous use of all caps
Don’t use large amount of centered text
Don’t use extra leading
Don’t use negative leading
(Good leading is 1.25x of the point size)
Don’t use more than 3 font families in
a design. Try to use only one if possible
Don’t use Serif typefaces in headings
Don’t create lines longer than 15 words
37. Moods & Functions ofTypefaces
If you seek a feminine mood, then you might use Isadora
For something comical, consider Comic Sans
For signage, Helvetica is used worldwide because of its
functionality
For a classic look, try Garamond, designed in France almost
500 years ago
38. GeneralGuidelines
Writing guides generally suggest that a manuscript should
have no widows and orphans even when avoiding them
results in additional space at the bottom of a page or column.
Widow : Generally refers to a single line of a paragraph
appearing at the “top” of a page.
Orphans : Generally refers to a single line of a paragraph
appearing at the “bottom” of a page.
39. Techniques for EliminatingWidows
Forcing a page break early, producing a shorter page
Adjusting the leading, the space between lines of text (although
such carding or feathering is usually frowned upon)
Adjusting the spacing between words to produce 'tighter' or
'looser' paragraphs
Adjusting the hyphenation of words within the paragraph
Adjusting the page’s margins
40. Subtle scaling of the page, though too much non-uniform scaling
can visibly distort the letters
Rewriting a portion of the paragraph
Reduce the tracking of the words
Adding a pull quote to the text (more common for magazines)
Adding a figure to the text, or resizing an existing figure
41. An orphan is cured more easily, by inserting a blank line or forcing
a page break to push the orphan line onto the next page to be with
the rest of its paragraph. Such a cure may have to be undone if
editing the text repositions the automatic page/column break.
Most full-featured word processors and page layout applications
include a paragraph setting (or option) to automatically prevent
widows and orphans.When the option is turned on, an orphan is
forced to the top of the next page or column; and the line
preceding a widow is forced to the next page or column with the
last line.This automatic adjustment to a page's layout can be a
source of frustration for someone who is unaware of why text is
shifted from one page to the next.
