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.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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
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. Contractual Brief
Definition
A contractual brief is where an agreement is decided as a specific task. This task is
given a specific time period for the company to complete it in for a set fee, and
this is all agreed in advance.
Advantages
Advantages about this is everything is drawn up in writing, so everything is clear and
there should be no confusion. This is also legally binding so if either side breaches
the contract then the contract enables the victims to take the other party to court
and get justice.
Disadvantages
Some contracts can be long winded and this may put people off reading all of it and
signing it regardless of what is in it. This can mean some companies not being paid
and not being able to take legal action because their signature has been signed
meaning they have read, understood and agreed to the contract.
3. Formal Brief
Definition
A client produces and gives a media company a brief that tells the company exactly what
the client wants from the company and what they want them to do. The brief contains
all the essential information for the company to produce the product how the client
wants it. Other negotiations and additional information is notified and agreed by the
client and company later on.
Advantages
There is more flexibility and room for changes when a formal brief has been drawn up.
There is also more input from the company, with their experience they can put their
own experience into practice by giving ideas to the client that they can decline or
accept. Everything is formally agreed so there is no confusion.
Disadvantages
The main disadvantage with this formal brief is that it may not always be legally binding and
clients may be able to get away with tricking the company so the company doesn’t end
up getting paid and there is nothing the company can do because the law wasn’t
involved and nothing was signed.
4. Informal Brief
Definition
This is a verbal agreement between a client and company, nothing is written down and
no documents are signed. The client and company discuss and agree on the
project and the tasks in hand, but there may not be a deadline or a completion
date.
Advantages
It is more flexible, the company may be able to choose the way they want to run the
project and what goes on and what becomes of the end product.
Disadvantages
There is no written formal agreement, so there may be misunderstandings that
haven’t been cleared or by either party so the end product may come out
incorrect according to the client. It is also not legally binding and there is no
evidence a case couldn’t be taken to court and the client could get away with not
paying the company etc.
5. Co-Operative Brief
Definition
This is where 2 or more companies are hired to work together on one specific brief.
They have to come together and work everything out collectively to complete the
brief.
Advantages
There are more people working on it so there will be more ideas and more
perspectives on the project, there will also be more people so the project may be
completed faster.
Disadvantages
The two companies may have very different visions and ideas on how the project
should be run and how it should turn out, and if the company can’t agree then an
appease has to be submitted to each company. This can be time consuming and
delays the project being completed.
6. Negotiated Brief
Definition
This is where two or more media companies are working on a project but there are
conflicting ideas and they don’t agree of the end result. So the negotiation would
happen to the brief and the end result would be changed in order to appease the
client and the companies working on the brief. The changes that could happen
involve visual style, changing content, or changing the product so that it stays
within the boundaries of legal obligation.
Advantages
This ensures that all parties in the project are happy with what they have to do and
what they are involved in. This means the product will turn out more accurate.
Disadvantages
Both parties actually have to agree and be happy with the changes and negotiations
before the project can continue. It may take time for parties to decide so there
may be delay in the project.
7. Commission Brief
Definition
This is where a large company hires a smaller, independent to create a specific part of
the product for them. The brief is negotiated with the two different companies
rather than the client being involved. The product made by the smaller company is
then used in the final product. The larger company pay the smaller company as
necessary and potentially they are also a part of the final profit that the larger
company makes.
Advantages
Smaller businesses get profit and funding for bigger projects, which keeps people in
jobs.
Disadvantages
Larger companies could under pay and take advantage of smaller companies that may
not have a lot of experience.
8. Tender Brief
Definition
This is where a client publishes what they need in a media product and what they
need to be made. Lots of production companies enter a brief to the client to try
and secure the project the client has given out.
Advantages
This is good for the client, meaning they get a lot of opportunity to be able to view all
of the talent and different companies, looking at their skills and styles, being able
to compare different companies.
Disadvantages
If the client is not very well known, if the client didn’t advertise enough or just people
didn’t see the advertisement. This means that there is no guarantee of a company
taking up this project. Also the client may have no experience with a certain
company so they don’t know whether the company produces quality work or the
exact outcome they want.
9. Competition Brief
Definition
A brief is put out to companies to participate in like a competition, then each company
completes the brief and then each finished product is judged by the client and the
one the client likes the best is awarded to have that product published. These
briefs are usually free to enter competitions, and the client have to pay the
winning company.
Advantages
The advantages of this is that there will be quite a lot of different companies
competing and sending in their product so their will be a lot of different variety
and differences in styles that will range across each companies product.
Disadvantages
The disadvantages of this is that the companies may not enter the competition
especially if there is an entry fee and difficult requirements to meet, or if the
companies don’t think the prize money is worth all the effort.
10. My Brief
Which type of brief is being used in the recipe card project? Explain your response.
The type of brief we have been given for this project is a Formal brief. A Formal brief
means that the brief is written for the client including basic information about
what they would like done, though unlike a Contractual brief nothing is signed and
there is much more discussion between client and producer about what they
would like. I think that the brief for this project is Formal as nothing has been
signed, though a rough idea about what the client would like has been written
down.
11. Reading the Brief
Why is important to thoroughly read your brief?
It is important to thoroughly read the brief to make sure that you are capable of completing the
project asked of you, and in the time scale required. By reading it thoroughly and checking
the brief for aspects that you may struggle with you can then either negotiate with the client
to come to a more suitable agreement, or back out of doing the project all together to avoid
wasting money on completing the project when the client may not be completely happy with
it and will not pay for it. If the brief is competition brief, or tender brief then reading the brief
thoroughly making sure that you are doing exactly what the client has asked, to give you the
best chance at beating the competition and getting your services paid for.
12. Reading the Brief
What is the nature of the Vegetarian Recipe Cards brief?
The clients brief says that we should use their branding strip that contains their logo some where
on our cards. On the front we also need to include an image and the title. We need to use
recycled, stiff paper and vegetable inks. Make sure that the cards are laminated as well,
preferably with biodegradable laminate. All recipes must be vegetarian, some should be
vegan. The brief also says that on the card you must include serving number, preparation
time, cooking time and vegan suitability.
What is the demand of the Vegetarian Recipe Cards brief?
The brief demands that we have 9 weeks to complete the project.
13. Negotiating a Brief
Why is it important to discuss the brief with your client prior to production?
It is important to discuss the brief with the client prior to starting the project to check with them
that you have understood the brief correctly. It may cost the company a lot to complete the
project and find out it was wrong all along. It is also important to raise any concerns you may
have about time or anything else, to see if the client can make any adjustments for you. It is
also important to get more detail on the brief if it is contractual or formal. By talking face to
face with the client they are able to go into more detail on the things asked in the brief so
you can have a clearer understanding of what they would like.
14. Negotiating a Brief
What are the advantages and disadvantages of employing discretion with a brief?
Discretion means to do something slightly different from what the brief says, such as using a
different type of paper or using a different layout to what they wanted.
An advantage of this is that you may be able to cut corners to make the project cheaper for the
company. It also allows you some creative freedom, enabling you to add your own creative
stamp onto the product. Though a major disadvantage is that the client may no longer want
to use your product, and then the company doesn’t get paid at all.
15. Negotiating a Brief
Are there any potential legal/ethical/regulatory issues with the Vegetarian Society brief’s
proposed product?
As all their products aim to be animal and environmentally friendly there are no ethical cases. The
card to print on must be 100% recycled, the ink must be vegetable ink and all the food must
be vegetarian and vegan. One slight issue is with laminating. They said they would prefer the
laminate to be biodegradable though it is expensive so that may not be possible.
I cannot see any legal or regulatory issues coming up with this project however. When using there
logo I will have the clients full permission so that I no copyright issues will come up.
16. Negotiating a Brief
Amendments you have considered to;
The Product
For the finished product I think I will stick to all of the requirements given in the brief. The brief
allows us a lot of creative freedom and I do not feel like changing any of the requirements on
the product written in the brief would benefit me or the product in any way.
The Budget
In the brief it suggests that the price of biodegradable laminate is very high, so it would be useful
if we could find an alternative or a solution to it to save money.
The Conditions
The main condition is that we get the product finished within a 9 week time scale. I would not
conceder changing that because I think that 9 weeks is very reasonable, and enough time to
get it finished.
17. Opportunities
What opportunities could this brief allow you to explore? Be specific with your responses. This
brief is quite different to others you have come across and offers lots of new experiences. Check
the unit overview to help you with this.
Self Development
I will learn much more about team work and communication skills from working on this project.
Learning new skills
I will learn how to use software on the computer that I have never used before. I may learn some more
about cooking if I decide to cook the food myself to take pictures of it.
Multi-skilling
In previous project we have only focused on one area such as photography or graphic design. During
this project we will look at all kinds of areas, including cooking, photography, graphic design and
writing.
Contributing to a brief
I will have the opportunity to contribute my ideas to the project as well as working with the clients
needs. This projects allows me some creative freedom. I may also be able to choose or negotiate
the recipes used for the cards.
