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.
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. About the temples
Abu Simbel temples are a set of two rock cut
temples located in Nubia, southern Egypt.
Carved from a Sandstone mountain
They were originally built in 13th century during
the reign of Ramesses II
It resembles his victory in Battle of Kadesh.
4. Discovery
Until 1813, the temples were buried in sand,
when the Swiss orientalist JL Burckhardt
discovered it with the help of a boy named
Abu Simbel.
He spoke about his discovery with Italian
explorer Giovanni Belzoni.
In 1817 they were able to uncover the
entrance and the great monument was
rediscovered.

Queen Nefertari and the reaming of Paraoh
Remesses II.
• Each statue is 32feet tall.
•It dedicated to queen Nefertari and the
goddess of love, Hathor.
13. Relocation
Due to the construction of
Aswan High Dam there
were severe chances of
rise in the water level of Nile
river which would
submerge the monument.
The only solution of
preserving these massive
structures was relocating
them.

Framsteg 1967 issue3, page 16
14. Due to which the entire site was dismantled into
large blocks and reassembled to a new site which
was 65 m high and 200 m back from the river Nile.

Museum)
15. •It costed over 40
million US Dollars.
•The entire relocation
lasted for around four
years that is from 1964-
1968.

16. Did the salvation of the Abu
Simbel Temples affect it’s
Cultural and Architectural
value ?
17. Research
Various processes were looked upon before they reached to
the relocation method.
Some of them are listed below
I. Construction of a colossal aquarium around it and allowing
the water to flood in.
II. Lifting the whole monument by hydraulic tanks.
III. Enclosing the monument in a concrete barge and letting it
float on the water.
But none of them we possible due to the huge size if the
monument, the structure weighed 250,000 tons.
18. Process
A coffer dam was constructed to buy
more amount of time.
They had to move not only the temple
but also the whole mountain so that it
did not loose its essence.
Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
19. • They removed the rock using steel wire
and chain saw.
• It took about 500 men and almost 7
months to move only the mountain.
Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
20. Precautions
The cutting of the facade and internal walls were
done using handsaw, the cuts were made up of
less then 8 mm thickness.
Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
21. • While cutting the
face of the Pharaoh
they covered each
cut line with a
bandage and resin
to stop the edges
from crumbling. Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
22. The statues were cut in
such a way that the
cutting did not interfere
with the faces of
Pharaoh and intricate
carving and so as to
minimise the damage.
Pictute source : https://youtu.be/2SxLufRZr4c
23. Metal rods were drilled into the blocks and filled
with grout and ice water
The blocks were lifted using cranes and transported
to storage yard using trucks
All the blocks were numbered so that they can be
re assembled as they were.
Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
24. In order to assemble the face of the statue to the
head an L shaped counter weight was attached to
the body of the face using steel rods.
Pictute source : https://youtu.be/2SxLufRZr4c
25. To replicate the mountain
and to carry the weight of
the rocks, a concrete
dome was built above the
temple at the new site.
Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
26. • Sandstone and rocks were pilled on top of the
dome to replicate the surrounding of the original
temple.
• It also supports the front facade.
Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
27. The joints are filled with a mixture
of sand and cement to match
the colour of the sand stone.
Grounded stone mixed with
paint was used to restore the
paintings.
Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
28. To protect the stone from further damage synthetic
resins were applied to the statues.
Steel section frames were used to hold the internal
walls and roof till they are relocated.
Picture source :
https://youtu.be/oZ9jewecEK8
29. How did it affect
culturally?
The original site where temples stood was
considered sacred to Goddess Hathor. Keeping this
in mind, Pharaoh Remesses built the great Temples
there. But after the relocation of the temples the
sacredness of the site was lost.
30. The design of the mega structure was
aligned in such a way that twice a year
on 21st February and 21st October the sun
ray illuminated the three of the four
statues in the inner sanctum of the great
temple. This was preserved while
relocating the temple.
31. How did it affect
architecturally?
There was introduction of modern
materials like steel, concrete, plastic and
cement mortar.
Originally it was carved in a sand stone,
but due to the relocation they had to
make several changes to the structure
like construction of concrete dome and
introduction of steel framework for the
roof to increase its stability.
32. Since the monument was now open to
general public, modern installations such
as electrical lighting and mechanical
ventilation was introduced.
The ventilation provided the visitors with
comfort as well as protected the
monument from increasing humidity.
33. Significance
Though all the new introductions were
done during the relocation of the great
monument, neither did they change the
appearance of the temple nor did it
loose its essence.
This project of relocation united the
whole world for a cause. This monument
is looked upon as “the monument which
got the whole world together”.
