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.
2. ABOUT THE POET
John Keats was born in London in the
year 1795 and died in Rome in 1821 at
the young age of 25 due to illness
(tuberculosis). He is a romantic poet
and his poetry is characterized by
sensual imagery in his most popular
work which is a series of odes -(a
lyrical poem which is meant for a
particular subject). Today, his poems
are one of the most sought after
creations in English literature. The
above given poetry is an excerpt from
his poem, -Endymion : A poetic
Romance-(1818), considered to be an
epic poem.
3. BACKGROUND OF THE POEM ‘A THING OF BEAUTY’
Based on Greek mythology about a shepherd named
Endymion, his quest for his love Diana and how in his
quest, he falls in love with an Earthly maiden, who later
turns out to be Diana herself.
4. A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Its loveliness increases, it will never
Pass into nothingness; but will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health,
and quiet breathing.
Bower: A shady place under the tree
5. The poet says that beauty stays forever. It never fades
away. It etches an indelible mark on the screen of our
mind. Rather, it increases with the passing time and gives
us the same happiness whenever it flashes as a memory.

never goes off with the passing time, rather it beautifies
more and more. For the poet, beauty is like a beautiful
shady tree under whose shade all the creatures can sleep
peacefully and enjoy good health.

gloomy moments. It is the beauty which is created by God

Rich with a sprinkling of fair
