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.
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

• How are they the same as traditional teaching and
learning materials?
• What makes them different?
• Copyright basics
• How Creative Commons licenses work
• Advantages of CC licenses
• Where OER are they being used and places to
find resources
• FAQ
WHAT WE’LL COVER
3. Open Educational Resources (OER) are
educational materials that are released
under an open copyright license, rather than
under traditional all rights reserved
copyright.
• Digital distribution and authorship
• Public access and cost savings
• Ability to improve, remix, and translate
OER
4. Just like traditional teaching materials, OER
can be:
• Textbooks
• Articles
• Slides
• Images
• Videos
• Simulations
SIMILARITIES
5. Unlike traditional educational materials,
OER have been released under an open
copyright license that allows users to:
• Update and remix
• Translate
• Share new versions
• Post online
DIFFERENCES
6. Copyright law grants to the author (or copyright
owner) the exclusive right to: reproduce, make
derivatives of, sell, distribute to the public,
perform or display publicly, the copyrighted
work, subject to fair use and other limitations
and exceptions to copyright law.
Copyright owners may assign all the rights in
their copyright, or give limited licenses that
allow others to make specific use of their
works.
WHAT IS COPYRIGHT?
7. Copyright law applies to intellectual property
that are “original works of authorship.” Common
types of works protected by copyright include
literary, artistic, and musical works. Copyright is
automatic, so it applies as soon as the work
has been created.
Copyright protection in the United States lasts
for the life of the author plus 70 years or 95
years for an institutional author. After this time
period has expired, works fall into the public
domain and are free from copyright restrictions.
WHAT DOES COPYRIGHT
PROTECT?
8. There are a number of exceptions and
limitations to copyright.
Functional concepts, names, and logos are
typically covered by patent or trademark law,
if protected at all, rather than copyright.
Copyright protects the specific expression of
a work - the words - but not the underlying
idea.
ARE THERE LIMITS TO WHAT
COPYRIGHT PROTECTS?
9. Fair use a allows the use of a copyrighted work
without permission from the copyright holder
under specific circumstances.
News reporting, teaching, and parody are all
examples of uses that could qualify as fair use.
Fair use is evaluated on a case-by-case basis,
and considers the purpose of the use, how
much of the original work is used, and how it
impacts the market for the original work.
WHAT ABOUT FAIR USE?
10. • Works within the copyright system
• Author still holds copyright to the work
• Traditional licenses are one to one
(negotiated)
• Open licenses like the Creative Commons
licenses are one to the public/one to many
WHAT IS AN OPEN LICENSE?
11. Advantages
• Takes advantage digital distribution and
authorship
• Ability to improve, remix, and translate
• Makes informal reuse formally permissible
(and possible on the open internet)
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF
AN OPEN LICENSE?
12. • Clearly communicates to the public that
the resource is free to reuse
• Grants the public a license to access,
reproduce, publicly perform, publicly
display, adapt, distribute, and otherwise
use for any purposes
• provided that the licensee gives attribution
to the designated authors of the
intellectual property.

COMMONS LICENSE DO?
