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.

42. Types of bar code scanners
A bar code consists of white and black bars. Data retrieval is achieved when bar code scanners
shine a light at a bar code, capture the reflected light and replace the black and white bars with
binary digital signals. Reflections are strong in white areas and weak in black areas. A sensor
receives reflections to obtain analog waveforms. The analog signal is converted into a digital signal
via an A/D converter. (Binarization) Data retrieval is achieved when a code system is determined
from the digital signal obtained. (Decoding process)
CCD method
This method uses a semiconductor device called
CCD(Charge Coupled Device), which converts
light signals into electric signals. A bar code is
captured once, allowing fast reading. There are
no movable parts and impact resistance is
excellent.
Laser method
Laser light is shone on the label surface and
its reflection is captured by a sensor (laser
photo detector) to read a bar code.
Using laser allows reading of distant and
wide bar code labels.
Pen method
This method only has a LED light source and a sensor to capture its reflection. Since a person moves a
scanner to read a bar code, practice is required for operation. The mechanism is simple, making this
method inexpensive.
