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.

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.

Unit 4 ch 17 s1 energy resources & fossil fuels
1. Chapter 17, Section 1: Energy Resources & Fossil Fuels
Standards: SEV4b, c, e, f, SEV5e
2. What is a nonrenewable resource?
Nonrenewable resource
is a natural resource
which cannot be
reproduced, grown, or
regenerated
It cannot be sustained at
its current consumption
rate
Once depleted there will
be no more available for
future use
3. What is a fossil fuel?
Fossil fuels are the
remains of ancient
organisms that changed
into coal, oil, or natural
gas through very specific
geologic processes.
Fossil fuels are a type of
nonrenewable energy
resources
4. What are 2 problems associated
with using fossil fuels?
1. Fossil fuel supplies are
limited.
2. Obtaining & using
fossil fuels causes
environmental
problems such as air
pollution & global
warming.
5. What are the 5 main uses of fuels?
Cooking
Transportation
Manufacturing
Heating & cooling
Generating electricity to
run machines &
appliances.
6. How is electricity generated?
Fossil fuel is burned to release heat.
Heat is used to boil water to make
steam. (1)
Steam turns a turbine (rotating
blade like a fan) (2)
Turbine turns the electric generator
(3)
Electric generators produce electric
energy by moving electrically
conductive material within a
magnetic field.
Electricity is passed to a transformer
which slows & reduces the
electricity that comes to your home
thru power lines. (4)
7. Are all fuels created equal?
No!
Different fuels are used for
different needs.
For example: Airplanes
cannot run on coal because
you would need hundreds of
tons of coal to power the
plane.
Fuel usage depends on:
Fuel’s energy content
Cost
Availability
Safety
Byproducts of fuel usage
8. What is the “cost” of energy?
Every product requires energy
to make the product.
The price you pay for the
product reflects the cost of
the energy.
For example: buying a plane
ticket includes the cost of
fuel.
The cost of energy depends
on how much energy is
needed to extract it from the
ground & make it usable- Net
Energy Production (see next
slide)
9. Net Energy Production
Takes energy to get energy
Net Energy Production is the total
amount of energy available from
an energy source MINUS the
energy needed to find, extract,
process, and get that energy to
consumers.
EX: You extract 10 units of oil
from the ground. 8 units are used
or wasted to find, extract, process,
and transport the oil to users.
Only 2 units of useful energy are
available for use.
An energy source may have a low
net energy yield because it takes
so much energy to get it & make it
usable.
Cellulosic ethanol produced from
switchgrass has higher net energy yield
than corn because it takes less energy to
grow & harvest it. Don’t have to plant
seeds, use fertilizer or pesticide like you
do for corn. It just grows naturally in
the prairie.
10. What are patterns of energy use?
World Patterns
Developed countries use more
energy than developing
This may be changing for some
as developing countries
become more prosperous.
I=PAT equation quantifies the
impact a country has on the
environment & its resources
Impact (I) depends on:
(P)opulation size
(A)ffluence /wealth
(T)echnology
As China (highly populated
developing country) becomes
more affluent due to
globalization they will have more
impact on the environment &
resources than some developed
countries.
11. What are patterns of energy use?
United States Pattern
US has highest energy usage. *
Most of our energy goes to
transporting goods & people.
Other countries like Japan &
Switzerland use extensive rail
systems, are smaller, compact
countries, & may rely more on
renewable energy
(hydropower)
Also, energy in US is CHEAP
compared to other countries.
No incentive to conserve gas
when its cost is so low.
Numbers on Y-axis are prices of gas in US dollars.
Red bars are cost of gas, blue bars are gas taxes
US pays least amount of taxes and has lowest gas prices!
12. What are the 3 types of fossil fuels
most commonly used?
1. Coal
2. Oil/Petroleum
3. Natural Gas
13. How did coal form?
What are uses of coal?
What are the types of coal?
What are the advantages & disadvantages to using coal?
What methods are used to make coal burning cleaner?
14. How did coal form?
Remains of swamp plants
repeatedly covered in
sediment as ocean levels rose
and fell 320-300 million years
ago.
The sediment compressed the
plant remains.
Heat & pressure from with
Earth turned plant remains
into coal.
Most abundant coal deposits
in world are in U.S. and Asia
(China)
Most abundant coal deposits
in U.S. are in eastern U.S.
15. What are the uses of coal?
Coal is burned to
CREATE ELECTRICITY
Manufacture cement,
steel, other industrial
products
Heating homes
16. What are the ranks of coal?
Lignite: A brownish-black coal of low
quality (i.e., low heat content per
unit) with high moisture and volatile
matter. Higher smoke and pollution.
Energy content is lower 4000 BTU/lb.
Sub-bituminous: Black lignite, is dull
black and generally contains 20 to 30
percent moisture Energy content is
8,300 BTU/lb.
Bituminous: most common coal is
dense and black (often with well-
defined bands of bright and dull
material). Its moisture content
usually is less than 20 percent. Energy
content about 10,500 Btu / lb.
Anthracite :A hard, black lustrous
coal, often referred to as hard coal,
containing a high percentage of fixed
carbon and a low percentage of
volatile matter. Least smoke &
pollution. Energy content of about
14,000 Btu/lb.
From Lignite
↓
Moisture, pollution, smoke
decreases
Energy increases
↓
To Anthracite
Bituminous is mostly used
because it is cheaper & easier to
extract than anthracite which is
usually deeper in the ground.
18. What methods are used to make
coal burning cleaner?
Coal washing- removes
sulfur
Scrubbers- spray
neutralizing solution on
coal gas before it leaves
smoke stack.
Clean Air Act- sets
standards for emissions
released from coal
burning facilities &
imposes fines as needed.
Scrubber Device
19. How did oil form?
What are uses of oil?
What are the advantages & disadvantages to using oil?
What methods are used to make oil use cleaner?
20. How did oil form?
Tiny marine organisms
decayed, accumulated,
and were covered in
sediment on ocean floor
millions of years ago.
Heat & pressure turned
the bodies & sediment
into oil.
21. What are the uses for
oil/petroleum?
Crude oil comes straight out
of ground.
Must be refined to make
products thru a process called
fractional distillation.
Crude oil is heated to
different temperatures. At
different boiling points the
oil is condensed and removed
to make a variety of products
Fuels- jet fuel, gasoline,
diesel
Plastics
Lubricating oils, waxes
22. Pros
Low cost
High net energy yield
Easy transportation
Cons
Projected to run out in
about 50 years.
Artificially low price
encourages waste. (Price is
low due to government
subsidies*)
Air pollution when burned
Releases CO2 when burned
Water pollution from oil
tankers/spills
Advantages and Disadvantages
23. What methods are used to make
oil use cleaner?
Catalytic converters-
clean car exhaust before it
leaves car.
Unleaded fuel- removing
lead from gasoline reduces
air pollution problems
Lead causes learning
disabilities in children
Introduced in 1970s in U.S.
Double-hull on oil tankers
prevents possible oil spills
in ocean.
24. How did natural gas form?
What are uses of natural gas?
What are the advantages & disadvantages to using natural gas?
What is fracking?
25. How did natural gas form?
Natural gas is formed as
a by-product of oil
formation.
It is usually found in
pockets around oil
deposits.
If natural gas can’t be
harvested with oil, it may
be burned off.
26. What are the uses of natural gas?
Cooking
Heating & cooling
Some electricity
Car fuel
27. Advantages & Disadvantages
Pros
125-200 year supply
90% of the natural gas
used in U.S. comes from
U.S.- we don’t rely on
foreign countries for this
like we do oil.
High net energy yield
Low cost (huge subsidies)
Less air pollution & CO2
emissions than oil & coal
Less land degradation
Easily transported by pipes
Cons
Releases some CO2
Releases methane
(greenhouse gas)
Explosive
Cars- stored in pressurized
tank which is not safe.
Fracking (see next slide)
28. What is Hydraulic Fracturing
AKA…“Fracking”?
Fracking is used to get pockets of
natural gas out of the ground.
Process: Water, sand & chemicals are
forced thru a drilled hole, rock is
cracked, forces natural gas upward to
be collected
Cons: Chemicals find their way into
water supplies, poisoning people,
livestock, and soil. (20-40% of fracking
chemicals stay underground.)
Halliburton Loophole- placed in the
2005 Energy Bill created by former vice
president Dick Cheney (once a
Halliburton vice president) says natural
gas companies that use fracking are
exempt from Safe Drinking Water Act
and don’t have to disclose what type of
chemicals they are using.
GASLAND Trailer 2010 - YouTube
“Gasland” is an HBO documentary made
about fracking.
“Promised Land” is a new movie about
natural gas, fracking, and its affects on
small town America.
