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.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

3. In December 1994, NetBSD co-founder Theo de Raadt was asked to resign
from his position as a senior developer and member of the NetBSD core team.
The reason for this is not wholly clear, although there are claims that it was
due to personality clashes within the NetBSD project and on its mailing lists.
In October 1995, de Raadt founded OpenBSD, a new project forked from
NetBSD 1.0. The initial release, OpenBSD 1.2, was made in July 1996, followed
in October of the same year by OpenBSD 2.0.Since then, the project has
followed a schedule of a release every six months, each of which is maintained
and supported for one year. The latest release, OpenBSD 5.3, appeared on 1
May 2013.
On 25 July 2007, OpenBSD developer Bob Beck announced the formation of
the OpenBSD Foundation, a Canadian not-for-profit corporation formed to
"act as a single point of contact for persons and organizations requiring a legal
entity to deal with when they wish to support OpenBSD.
Just how widely OpenBSD is used is hard to ascertain: its developers neither
publish nor collect usage statistics, and there are few other sources of
information. In September 2005, the nascent BSD Certification Group
performed a usage survey which revealed that 32.8% of BSD users (1420 of
4330 respondents) were using OpenBSD, placing it second of the four major
BSD variants, behind FreeBSD with 77% and ahead of NetBSD with 16.3%.
4.
5. OpenBSD is a Unix-like computer operating system descended from Berkeley
Software Distribution (BSD), a Unix derivative developed at the University of
California, Berkeley. It was forked from NetBSD by project leader Theo de
Raadt in late 1995. As well as the operating system, the OpenBSD Project has
produced portable versions of numerous subsystems, most notably PF,
OpenSSH and OpenNTPD, which are very widely available as packages in other
operating systems.
6. The OpenBSD project produces a FREE, multi-platform 4.4BSD-based
UNIX-like operating system. Our efforts emphasize portability,
standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated
cryptography.
OpenBSD is freely available from our FTP sites, and also available in an
inexpensive 3-CD set.
The current release is OpenBSD 5.3 which was released May 1, 2013.
As well, pre-orders for the upcoming OpenBSD 5.4 release are enabled
at our order site.
OpenBSD is developed entirely by volunteers. The project pays for the
development environment and developer events by selling CDs through a
collection of stores and by accepting donations from organizations and
individuals. These finances ensure that OpenBSD will continue to exist,
and will remain free for everyone to use and reuse as they see fit. T-
shirts and posters are available as well.

9. OpenBSD is a Unix-like BSD-based operating system renowned for its
security.
This security means it can be very unforgiving of even slightly ill-
behaved programs - both applications running on OpenBSD, and virtual
machines OpenBSD is running on.
(Running Windows applications on OpenBSD at all is a ridiculous idea in
security terms, but it's interesting and has hack value and will make
Wine better and more robust.)
Status
Wine 1.1.39 now successfully compiles on OpenBSD. Runs with a few
hacks from their port.
Rough plan
look at any tweaks for freshports, see if those help, file a Wine bug
and submit patches as needed
Once it's compiling: kick it a lot, see what works
10. KaiBlin notes: "Basically, the best way to get a new, uncommon POSIX
OS supported in Wine is to get somebody familiar with (programming
on) the OS to work on Wine, or at least closely with the Wine
developers. That's how FreeBSD was fixed to better support Wine's
needs some time ago. This required a couple of patches to the
FreeBSD kernel, IIRC, so if the OpenBSD kernel lacks a feature Wine
needs, you might have to spend time talking to the OpenBSD team to
get features added."
One might be able to implement these missing system calls in a loadable
kernel module ... it's unlikely the OpenBSD folks would just put new
stuff in their kernel for Wine without checking that code thoroughly.

11. Avoid virtual machines
It's unlikely to be useful to report Wine bugs from OpenBSD in a
virtual machine. (Though, VMWare Workstation seems to work
decently well with OpenBSD 4.6. Virtualbox craps out.)
OpenBSD doesn't work properly in many virtual machines, because it
puts quite a lot of strain on the quality of the emulation.
So only file bugs that you've seen manifest on a physical PC.
13. Apply some OpenBSD patches: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-
bin/cvsweb/ports/emulators/wine/patches/
And finally configure/build.
$ ./configure && make
You'll still get compiler warnings. Some are Wine bugs, some are
OpenBSD bugs, but they're not that big of a deal. I'm currently
looking into most of these. (AustinEnglish)
Before running any apps, you'll need to run (as root/sudo)
# sysctl machdep.userldt = 1
Or for a more permanent fix, add to /etc/sysctl.conf.
14. Contributing
If you'd like to help with Wine on OpenBSD, the best things to do are:
Fix the outstanding Wine bugs (see the list above). Most of these
aren't fixed because no one knows both Wine and OpenBSD well
enough to fix them properly.
Fix bugs on OpenBSD's end (many packages needed are either missing
or broken in ports).
For those of you not as coding inclined, but with access to an OpenBSD
box:
Run a nightly build on OpenBSD. This helps us to catch regressions
faster. Make sure there are no new compiler bugs/warnings introduced.
If any are, report it to wine-devel or bugzilla immediately.
15. In production and development, open source as a development model
promotes a) universal access via free license to a product's design or
blueprint, and b) universal redistribution of that design or blueprint,
including subsequent improvements to it by anyone.[1] Before the
phrase open source became widely adopted, developers and producers
used a variety of terms for the concept; open source gained hold with
the rise of the Internet, and the attendant need for massive retooling
of the computing source code.[2] Opening the source code enabled a
self-enhancing diversity of production models, communication paths,
and interactive communities.[3] The open-source software movement
arose to clarify the environment that the new copyright, licensing,
domain, and consumer issues created.[citation needed]
Generally, open source refers to a computer program in which the
source code is available to the general public for use and/or
modification from its original design. Open source code is typically
created as a collaborative effort in which programmers improve upon
the code and share the changes within the community. Open source
sprouted in the technological community as a response to proprietary
software owned by corporations.
16. Two main types of open source software may be free and non-free
(shared source).
The open-source model includes the concept of concurrent yet
different agendas and differing approaches in production, in contrast
with more centralized models of development such as those typically
used in commercial software companies.[page needed] A main principle
and practice of open-source software development is peer production
by bartering and collaboration, with the end-product, source-material,
"blueprints", and documentation available at no cost to the public. This
model is also used for the development of open-source-appropriate
technologies,solar photovoltaic technology and open-source drug
discovery.
17. OpenBSD has long been respected for its simple and straight forward
installation process, which is consistent across all platforms.
All platforms use a very similar installation procedure, however there are some
minor differences in details on a few platforms. In all cases, you are urged to read
the platform-specific INSTALL document in the platform directory on the CD-
ROM or FTP sites (for example, i386/INSTALL.i386, macppc/INSTALL.macppc or
sparc/INSTALL.sparc).
The OpenBSD installer is a special kernel with a number of utilities and install
scripts embedded in a pre-loaded RAM disk. After this kernel is booted, the
operating system is extracted from a number of compressed tar(1) (.tgz) files from
a source other than this pre-loaded RAM disk. There are several ways to boot this
install kernel:
Floppy disk: OpenBSD can be installed on many platforms by booting an installer
from a single floppy disk. However, due to space constraints, some larger platforms
(sparc64, amd64, alpha) do not have some utilities which may be important to you,
such as a DHCP client to configure the network. For these platforms, you may do
better with the CD install. However, for platforms like i386 and sparc, you will find
the boot floppy very complete.
Floppy disk images are provided which can be used to create an install floppy on
another Unix-like system, or on a Windows system. Typical file names are
floppy53.fs, though several platforms have multiple floppy images available.
18. CD-ROM: On several platforms a CD-ROM image (cd53.iso for just booting, or
install53.iso for the entire install) is provided allowing creation of a bootable CD-
ROM.
Existing partition: The RAM disk kernel can be booted off an already existing
partition for an upgrade or reinstall.
Network: Some platforms support booting over a network (for example using
PXE or other network boot).
Writing a file system image to disk (miniroot): a filesystem image that can be
written to an existing partition, and then can be booted.
Bootable Tape: Some platforms support booting from tape. These tapes can be
made following the INSTALL.platform instructions.
Not every platform supports all boot options:
alpha: Floppy, CD-ROM, network, writing a floppy image to hard disk.
amd64: Floppy, CD-ROM, network.
armish: Varies by machine.
hp300: CD-ROM, network.
hppa: Network.
i386: Floppy, CD-ROM, network.
landisk: miniroot, installed using another computer.
macppc: CD-ROM, network.
19. mvme88k: Network, bootable tape.
sparc: Floppy, CD-ROM, network, writing image to existing swap partition, bootable
tape.
sparc64: Floppy (U1/U2 only), CD-ROM, network, writing image to existing partition.
vax: Floppy, network.
zaurus: Boot bsd.rd from Linux partition. See INSTALL.zaurus for details.
All platforms can also use a bsd.rd to reinstall or upgrade.
Once the install kernel is booted, you have several options of where to get the install
file sets. Again, not every platform supports every option.
CD-ROM: Of course, we prefer you use the Official CD-ROM set, but you can also use
install53.iso or you can make your own.
FTP: Either one of the OpenBSD FTP mirror sites or your own local FTP server
holding the file sets.
HTTP: Either one of the OpenBSD HTTP mirror sites or your own local web server
holding the file sets.
Local disk partition: In many cases, you can install file sets from another partition on
a local hard disk. For example, on i386, you can install from a FAT partition or a CD-
ROM formatted in ISO9660, Rock Ridge or Joliet format. In some cases, you will
have to manually mount the file system before using it.
NFS: Some platforms support using NFS mounts for the file sets.
Tape: File sets can also be read from a supported tape. Details on creating the tape
are in the INSTALL.platform document.
20. This page was originally written to demonstrate that OpenBSD is
indeed not "a server OS" or "a hacker OS". It is used by a lot of people
on workstations and home PCs. This page when it first appeared had
the statement 'OpenBSD is not suitable to use as a desktop OS? Hah!'
on the top. Now it has this explanation.
It has been rightfully pointed out that there are millions of
screenshots about Gimp while there are far too few about how you
make this or that work. This requires due attention; indeed, you need
the latter much more than the former. Still, this page exists and will
continue to exist, to announce to the world what is stated in the first
paragraph. It is not "an official OpenBSD screenshot page", because
there isn't one. This is just my personal way of OpenBSD advocacy.
