The document discusses the purpose and importance of music websites for artists and bands. It explains that websites allow fans to explore an artist's music, tour dates, news and social media. They give artists credibility and promote their releases. Websites are also an affordable way to advertise and have a wider reach than print. The document uses examples of the Daughter and Bon Iver music websites to analyze their layout, navigation, use of colors and simplicity.

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

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.

2. Websites are a fantastic way of a band or an artist to be
able to promote and market their music as well as to
interact with their fans. Beyond the websites that I have
chosen to analyse, we will be seeing a set of codes and
conventions within the websites that are often used.
The more interactive and appeal a website is, the more
likely it will attract an enormous amount of viewers.
3. The first website that I am going to be
analysing is the group Daughter. As you can
see, this is the first page of their website
which is the Home page; the tab is shown as
the three white lines whereby it can locate you
to different parts of the website.
This is what the audience will see when they enter
the website. As you navigate through the website,
you'll see the background image changing its
background picture. The colours that is used in the
website compliments well to one another which
could attract viewers.
Once the viewer has clicked on the 3 white bars
which is also called a navigation tool, it leads on to a
page that looks like this. The links are shown for
viewers to explore more about the artist or group.
For instance, if you click 'Video' the website will lead
the viewer to a page where there is archived videos
of the band.
For instance, if you click 'Video' the website will
lead the viewer to a page where there is archived
music videos of the band.
4. The second website that I will be analysing is an Indie
folk artist Bon Iver. The screenshot shows the first
page when you enter the website, which is the home
page of the website. The logo is set to the top left of
the website which includes the name of the artist.
The logo is also one of the
important conventions of the
website as a whole. When a
viewer decides to explore the
'community page' and they want
to go back to the main page, they
could just click on the logo which
leads the viewer back to the
home page.
Instead of having a symbol or some sort of hyperlink,
they used a tab where it includes all of the necessary
pages which is shown for the viewers. I believe that
this is a good idea because, it won't confuse people
whenever they want to explore the website in depth.
The layout of the website is
simple, similarly to
Daughter's website. Bon
Iver's website layout is
presented whereby the
viewer can just scroll down
and they will be able to see
what is in the navigation links
such as news and tour dates.
The logo in the middle of the website is Bon Iver’s
latest album “22, A Million.” which was released
recently. This indicates that the viewer, or new fans
will be able to be up to date with his latest music to
whoever wants to catch up.
I think that is crucial for music
websites because, if someone
were to get lost within the
site, the homepage button is
shown to bring the viewer
back to the start.
The website’s grid system
is just one grid where the
viewer would just scroll up
or down of the web page;
the buttons are presented
to show other pages of the
website.
5. LIVE- this shows which dates the
group is going to be performing live
and the location wise.
SHOP- Daughter have an individual
website for their merchandise- it is
navigated in their website for the
viewer to find it easily.
NEWS- the news page for Daughter is
used to show the viewers what is
going on with the group. It could
keep the fans up to date which could
be very useful.
PEOPLE- this page is to show the
record labels, manager of the
group, and the crew where the fans
or viewer are able to contact
through.
RELEASES- the page of Releases is placed on
the website to show the group's updated music
as well as their album cover. This will able
to catch the viewer's attention and it will
let them listen to snippets of their songs.
VIDEOS- this page is presented for the
viewers to watch Daughter's archived music
videos as well as new releases of their
music, which goes with a music video. This
will able for the viewer to enjoy their stay
while viewing the website.
6. COMMUNITY - this page is relevant to the
website because, this gives a chance for the
viewer to be a member of the website where
they will be updating people about Bon Iver.
RELEASES - the page of Releases is placed on
the website to show the artist's updated
music as well as their album cover. This
will able to catch the viewer's attention
and it will let them listen to snippets of
his songs.
NEWS - this webpage will enable the
viewer to know what is going on with the
artist and to be able to catch up. It
could keep the fans up to date which
could be very useful.
STORE - this is where the artist
sells his merchandise which is aimed
towards the fans - this is a good
example of synergy.
TOUR - this shows which dates the
artist is going to be performing live
and the location wise.
7. Website synergy
Synergy amongst the band and the artist or any other
products/content is highly popular and it is a very effective
technique for the audience to remember their brand as well as their
style. It is a very effective marketing tool towards the music
industry and the business.
Without the use of synergy, the artist or group will find it difficult
to market their songs as well as their individuality into the music
world. It is important for groups and artists to use synergy.
8. Technical codes
One of the crucial things that attracts the viewers to explore Daughter's
website is the way they have laid out the website- it is not too
complicating to use but it is not too basic. It is somewhere in between
where the website is average. I also really like the simplicity of the web
page design especially the colours which compliment each other.
On the front page when a viewer opens the website, we can already see
that when you click on the page there is a slideshow of images of the
group Daughter. The use of this technical code is appropriate because, it
enables for the viewer to see more about the group and its appearance.
Most indie websites tend to lean on the simplicity side of the web design
rather than have colourful backgrounds and bright texts. Websites such
as Daughter would much rather prefer have a simple layout where they
have a small navigation bar alongside background image that changes
once the viewer clicks on the page. Once they click the navigation bar, it
comes up with the actual Navigation page. You can clearly see that they
used a manageable layout where it does not look complex for the viewer
to use. The font, colour and text size fits the genre codes and convention
since Indie artists and groups would often use fundamental layouts.
9. GENRE
The genre of the website is an Indie genre which means that the group is also Indie.
Starting off, Indie websites commonly use more of simplistic layouts and they focus
on the aesthetic. They also try to make the navigation as straightforward as
possible in order for the viewers to find their way around a lot more easier.
This way, it could appeal a great amount of people viewing the website especially if
the majority of them are into Indie artists/groups then it is beneficial. A way in
which an Indie website will appeal people is their use of complementary colours. A
good website should be able to understand that some colours go well together and
some don't.
If they do not follow the rule, the website could not be presented of a high standard
therefor not a lot of people will enjoying looking at the website. An indie website
uses neutral colours such as black, white, nude, grey, burgundy etc. With the use of
these colours, it merges with the genre. Using the right colours, it could stand out
to people mostly the fan of the artist or group.
10. Style
As mentioned from the previous slides, Daughter's website does not use a range
of styles. They decided to stick to using the same font for every navigation
page- this tells us that they want to show simplicity rather than have a variety.
The website does not use a large amount of colours, they used neutral colours
such as black and white. Here is an example of their web page which shows
their tour dates. It may look simple and basic, but the aesthetic could catch
people's attention Another example is on Bon Iver's web page, we can see that
the text and the use of the background colour are simplistic.
11. The main purpose of a music website in general is to make sure that fans of a certain artist or group will
be able to explore and updated what has been happening with their favourite artist or group. This way,
the viewer will have the chance to check any tour dates, news, find their social medias etc. Another
reason as to why a music website is important is how people are likely to find you.
These days most people will go online and research about different groups and artists and if you don't
have a website you are missing out on all of this. A website will not only give you credibility but it will
also help to give the impression that your company is bigger and more successful than it may actually
be.
One of the great things about the internet is that the size of your company does not really matter. It also
creates awareness and they are able to promote their upcoming release of new songs and music videos.
It gives the viewer a chance to look and catch up with what's been released.
In addition, the use of website is cheaper and more flexible than print advertising: The Internet is
extremely different from print advertising in that space is cheap, your advertisement is accessible for a
longer period of time, the content can be changed without having to ask someone to do it for you (if you
use a content management system) and you can potentially reach a wider audience.
