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.
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.

2. Practice: Identifying persuasive
techniques
1. Professor Andrew Horner once described the proposal as a ‘disgrace’.
2. Surely, we all agree that this is the right course of action.
3. The money is a drop in the bucket compared to what the government spends on other services.
4. It’s a more humane, more sensible option.
5. Can’t you do anything right?
6. The government’s decision is nothing short of disgraceful and will cause untold trauma and anguish for those involved.
7. It will be the end of civilization as we know it.
8. There’s a million reasons the proposal won’t work.
9. The decision was a kick in the guts for workers everywhere.
10. He was as fit as a fiddle.
11. The slaughter of sheep in overseas abattoirs is hideously brutal.
12. It’s a problem that we can’t turn away from.
13. The government has been working like dogs to achieve this change.
14. Why should I have to put up with foul-mouthed language on public transport?
15. Experts agree that treating drug addiction like a disease is the right thing to do.
4. Activity: Describe the image and cartoons below. What message do
they send? What are the techniques used? Are they effective? Why
or why not?
5. Analyzing photographs
It is often a good idea to start by considering what has been included in the
photograph and what has been left out.
Photographs, like all media texts, are constructed. When someone takes a
photograph, they make decisions about what will be included and left out of the
photograph.
In newspapers, writers often don’t have a say about the images that accompany their
article, but subeditors usually choose an image that will reinforce the point-of-view
and tone of the article.

9. Focus
When discussing photographs, always consider how focus contributes to the image.
Depth of field is a term that refers to how much of an image is in focus. Deep focus is
when everything in an image, from the foreground through to the background, is
completely in focus.
This can help to emphasize the surroundings of the subject.
The phrase ‘narrow depth of field’ is used to described shots in which the focal
distance is quite short.
Photographs using narrow depth of field typically have the subject in focus while the
background is completely blurred out. This technique can be used to emphasize the
subject of the photograph.
10. Composition
When analyzing photographs, always consider how the shot has
been composed.
Think about the positioning of the subject and objects within the
frame.
Is the photograph balanced or asymmetrical?
How does this help to represent the issue?
What does it make the audience think and feel?
11. Activity: Describe how the image below, which accompanied
an article about drug addiction, helps to create a sense of
sympathy for the victims of drug abuse.
Analyze the following:
1. Subject
2. Shot size
3. Lighting
4. Color
5. Message?
6. Rhetorical Appeals?
7. Other techniques?
8. Are they effective? Why or why
not?
15. Color contrast – black and white figure contrasts
with color background, symbolic of ‘grey’ mood
and not fitting in. Shows that character is aware
of their lack of connection and is saddened by it.
Text – symbolically appears ‘cut-out’ and
disjointed, word connotations of “smaller”, “lost”
and “alone”. Emphasizes character’s lack of
connection and the negative impact his desire for
connection has on his emotions.
Color – the whole image is in rich, saturated
colors to better contrast the black and white
figure. Shows the ‘outside’ as bright and happy,
making it clear that the character would desire
to be connected with it and enjoy more positive
emotions.
18. Example Answer
“The complex emotions resulting from a desire for connection is effectively portrayed in text one
through its use of contrast, text and colour.
The figure in the lower left corner of the image is the most salient feature, his black and white colouring
creating a high contrast with the otherwise colourful background. This choice of colour to greyscale
contrast creates an immediate sense that the character lacks a connection to the world around him,
which results in his own sadness or ‘grey’ mood. The text in the upper right confirms this, not only
through the negative connotations of words such as “smaller”, “lost” and “alone”, but also through its
stylisation as ‘cut out’ fragments. This emphasises the sense of disjointedness and disconnection borne
of lacking connection and reinforces the character’s emotions of isolation and melancholy. Finally,
the colour used in the rest of the image is rich and vibrant, a clear choice made to present the ‘outside
world’ as desirable and full of colour. This prompts the audience to consider that the character clearly
desires connections with this world, but seems reluctant to make them. This reveals a more complex
emotional situation as he seems to actively choose to remain isolated, perhaps out of fear of rejection.
Overall the image presents a complex insight into how a desire for connection can result in complex
emotions, as the character seems to both desire connections and actively avoid them. Thus it is
through contrast, text and colour that text one effectively portrays how complex emotions can result
from a desire for connection.”
20. Analyzing Political cartoons
Cartoons often accompany opinion articles online and in newspapers.
Political cartoons often stand alone as persuasive texts.
If they accompany an article, they are usually not the work of the writer but often
reinforce the message or tone of the article.
Cartoons are often used to ridicule and caricature politicians. They might comment on
the absurdity of a situation.
Although people think about cartoons as light-hearted, they often use black humour
to highlight important issues.
21. Cartoonists use the following persuasive
techniques to create humor:
1. Symbolism - using an object to stand for an idea.
2. Caricature - exaggerating a physical feature or habit: big nose, bushy eyebrows, large
ears, baldness.
3. Captioning and labels - used for clarity and emphasis.
4. Analogy - a comparison between two unlike things that share some characteristics.
5. Irony - the difference between the way things are and the way things should be or
the way things are expected to be.
6. Juxtaposition - positioning people or objects near each other, side-by-side.
7. Exaggeration - overstating or magnifying a problem.
22. Symbols used in political cartoon
1. Peace - dove, olive branch, victory sign.
2. United states - Uncle Sam, flag, stars and stripes, shield.
3. Democrats - donkey
4. Republicans - elephant
5. Death - vulture, skeleton with shroud, skull and crossbones, grim reaper.
6. Love - heart, Cupid, Venus
7. Money - dollar bill or dollar sign
8. Heroes or good guys - wear white
9. Villains or bad guys - wear black
23. Analyzing a Political Cartoon
What you see…the characters, objects, or symbols
What’s the big deal?
Identify the main idea What’s the purpose?
Why is the cartoonist drawing this?
What are they trying to say.
Audience- Who is the artist trying to appeal to?
24. Analyze the following:
Subject
Tone
Caricature
Color
Symbol
Captions/Labels
Other strategies?
Are they effective? Why or why not?
