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.

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

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Colours – Blue, Red and White
Price - £4.99 released monthly
Size of the magazine – A4
6. My
Magazines
Price;
The price of the magazines will
be around £3.99. I have chose
this price because not many
competitors sell issues for this
cheap. Such as; XXL costs £4.99-
£5.99
Masthead Names;
- 808
- Beats
- TMM (The Music
Magazine)
Straplines
‘The best in music’
‘Love it or 808 it’
‘The best in the business’
Target Audience;
The target audience will be from 16-35 years
old, this is because the genre of the
magazine is hip hop/rap suggesting that the
words in the song are explicit. The gender
for the magazine will be for both males and
females, this will mean my magazine will
have to include an artist on the front page of
a person that is liked by both gender.
Frequency of release;
My magazines will be released
monthly, the price determined this
because it is an expensive
magazine to pay for every week.
Also, it will be hard to find
information to put in the magazine
to release weekly.
Colour Schemes; The colour scheme
for my first magazine will be black
with white writing but will have partly
gold words throughout the magazine
to math the gold title. I have chosen
this colour because it signifies the
reader that the colours match the
music artists life in which it is fulfilled
will expensive jewelry. My other
magazine will be red and blue. Red
will stand out to a pass along
audience.Brand Identity; On the front of
magazine (across the masthead) I
will have all the social media
links that help self advertise my
magazine onto social media as
this is a much more cheaper
alternative to promotion than
releasing a advert on TV for more
audience.
Images;
On the front cover of my magazine I will have a
picture of the music artist that is going to have
the biggest amount of information inside the
magazine. This will be someone who is
extremely big in this music business of this
genre. The technical code of this photo will be
a long-shot, this will give the effect on the
reader that my magazine has exclusive photos
of this artist because not many photos are like
that.
7. Connotations behind the name
The reason the magazine is called 808
is because that is the name of a drum
used in every hip/hop rap or grime
beat. I thought this would suit as those
genres are the ones that are being
covered in my magazine. I also like it
because it is short and easy to say and
with the bold writing it will be easy to
see on the shelves and will hopefully
attract more readers. I also like the
name because it will attract people
that are interested in music and will
understand what an 808 is, this is good
because it will make people think that
because it has good title, it will contain
high quality information.
8. Connotations behind the name
The masthead ‘TMM’ or ‘The Music Magazine’ shows to the reader
that the magazine they are going to pick up is full of everything on the
genre of music I am covering. I have shortened ‘The Music Magazine’
down to just simply ‘TMM’ because I feel that it with its bold writing it
will stand out of shelves instead of the music magazine as it may come
across as something boring when intact it contains very detailed and
exciting music on the chosen genres.
9. Font Styles

This is my chosen font
http://www.dafont.com/mus

club-music.font?text=808
I tested out font styles before making my
magazine to see what was the best one.
11. Font Style Conclusions
For the magazine ‘808’ I have chosen the next ups text, this is because I feel it
has a very modern and unique look which suits my genre of music that is
being covered in the magazine. I have chosen the font style haydon-brush for
TMM magazine as it is simple but has a twist to make it different to other
magazine fonts such as XXL.
12. Steve Neale: What will I repeat (Steve
Neale 1980)?
808
I will repeat the font style when I'm
writing the information that is going
to be put into the magazine. The title
font will also be used in headings and
sub headings when it shows the
article of the music artist. I will also,
use the same layout in which if an
important artist occurs I will set and
double page spread made specially
for them. Repetition will also be used
when a word may not be understood
by the readers (the word will have a
text like this) , the definition will then
be put to the glossary of the
magazine and they can see the
meaning of the word.
13. Steve Neale: What will I repeat?
TMM
I will repeat the colours used for the
masthead and for the detailing in the
headline. The reason behind this is
because I think it will stand out from
the rest of the shelves as they will be
using other colours but a bold red
with catch someone's eye and will
hopefully make them pick it up and
invest in my magazine so that I can
earn money in order to make my
magazine successful. I will also repeat
the little black details as I think it
makes the magazine look more
professional and well made, this will
make the reader feel that because the
front page looks professional, the
information inside will be interesting
and professional.
14. Target Audience
Gratifications and uses (Katz)
The theory is about the how the use of media can
be different for all different people and that the
choices made are their own and its what they want
to do. When they do this, they are supposed to get
gratification instead of just watching a video or
reading something. The Q magazine audience
would be a variation of inform and educated as
well as diverse reviews and other information that
can make the audience learn something from the
magazine or they may be focused on what happens
in the artist interviews.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
This is the theory in which the audience can
become motivated to achieve a specific need and
when they have achieved this they try to achieve
the next activity, this ends up working in a pyramid
shape. Q magazine would more likely to be
explorers because they are people that become
intrigued by social change. This is good for them
because Q magazine includes features of the
calendar that shows what the next music artists or
bands will be doing next.
