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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

Information is all-pervading!
James Gleick:
• For the purposes of science,
information had to mean
something special. . . . A rite
of purification became
necessary.
• And then, when it was made
simple, distilled, counted in bits,
information was found to be
everywhere. [Claude] Shannon’s [information] theory
[1948] made a bridge between information and
uncertainty; between information and entropy; and
between information and chaos. It led to compact discs
and fax machines, computers and cyberspace, Moore’s
law and all the world’s Silicon Alleys. Information
processing was born, along with information storage and
information retrieval. People began to name a successor
to the Iron Age and the Steam Age.

Flood (Kindle Locations 134-138). Pantheon. Kindle Edition.

Why Shannon?
Gleick:
• We can see now that
information is what our world
runs on: the blood and the fuel,
the vital principle. It pervades
the sciences from top to bottom,
transforming every branch of
knowledge. [Shannon’s]
Information theory began as a
bridge from mathematics to
electrical engineering and from
there to computing.

Theory, a Flood (Kindle Locations 141-143). Pantheon.

Information, more precisely
defined?
Information
• Data presented in readily comprehensible form to
which meaning has been attributed within the
context of its use. In a more dynamic sense, the
message conveyed by the use of a medium of
communication or expression.
• Whether a specific message is informative or not
depends in part on the subjective perception of
the person receiving it. . . . Compare with
knowledge.

Another view of “information”
Comment from a former faculty member at
the College of Library and Information in Oslo,
Norway:
“. . . you know, there’s
nothing as fluid as the
information concept; it’s
like . . . an amoeba!”
From a group interview for Dr.
Johan Koren’s dissertation
research, Fall 1989

Do you know what information is?

What is it?
According to the International Encyclopedia of Information
and Library Science, information is “best seen as holding
the place in the spectrum between raw data and
knowledge. Seen in this way, information is an assemblage
of data in a comprehensible form capable of
communication and use: facts to which meaning has been
attached.”
In this sense, almost everything could be information -
facts (events, concepts, objects, etc.) that carry meaning
and can be communicated.

Characteristics of information
Information comes in all shapes and sizes. Knowing
some of its characteristics will help you better
identify your information need and evaluate what
you are receiving.
• Factual vs Analytical
• Subjective vs Objective
• Current vs Historical
• Scholarly vs Popular

Information Types
That is, what the information looks (or sounds) like
Textual
Bibliographic
Numeric

The result?
Gleick again:
• After “information theory” came to be, so did
“information overload,” “information glut,”
“information anxiety,” and “information
fatigue,” the last recognized by the OED in
2009 as a timely syndrome: “Apathy,
indifference, or mental exhaustion arising
from exposure to too much information, esp.
(in later use) stress induced by the attempt to
assimilate excessive amounts of information
from the media, the Internet, or at work.”
• Gleick, James (2011). The Information: A
History, a Theory, a Flood (Kindle Locations
7201-7205). Pantheon. Kindle Edition.

14. 14
The solution?
Gleick has none but hard work:
• No deus ex machina waits in the wings; no man behind
the curtain.
• As ever, it is the choice that informs us (in the original
sense of that word). Selecting the genuine takes work;
then forgetting takes even more work. This is the curse of
omniscience: the answer to any question may arrive at the
fingertips—via Google or Wikipedia or IMDb or YouTube
or Epicurious or the National DNA Database or any of
their natural heirs and successors—and still we wonder
what we know.
