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.

I’m going to start out with a definition of Web 2.0. Libraries can then take that definition and start using web 2.0 to the advantage of our users. It is important, I think, to start with a definition. I want to highlight the basics of what it is. (read)
Now I want to tell you what web 2.0 is to the man on the street, the everyman, the masses…
It is the web. There is no distinction in the general web user’s mind between web and web 2.0. This is critical to our understanding of web 2.0 and it is critical to
Libraries have been talking about web 2.0 for years, and it’s important that we as library staffers understand the reasons why libraries care. There are many reasons, but I think the main reason we care is because libraries are part of our communities, and we want to reach out and help people with whatever it is they want to get out of life. We want to reach out to large amounts of people - we want them to know how wonderful we are, that we provide all these great resources, that with just a library card, you get a wealth of information at your fingertips, and that we’ll help point you to the information that will be the most helpful to you. But we have limited resources – staff, time and money. And here are these rich online communities, full of real people, there for us to join. You’ll notice that I don’t say that these communities are waiting for us. They are not waiting for us. In fact, if we never joined them, it is likely that they would not notice our absence. Which is why it is critical for libraries to learn about the possibilities these tools and sites and online communities offer to us. We must explore them, play with them, try them out, because by joining these communities, we will reach people. We don’t want to be left out. We want to stay integral to our communities.
And these web 2.0 tools are easy to use. For you and for the people you want to reach! In fact, the people you want to reach may be way ahead of you. They are playing with them already. The tools we explore in Bakers Dozen are cheap. Usually free of cost. Just your time dedicated to learning and using them. They also reach the masses in ways that you cannot do with traditional media. There is no way you could afford to build your own versions of these sites. And there is no way you could afford to put out “print” versions of what you can do on these sites. These tools are also engaging. If people didn’t like them, they wouldn’t be popular. People like them, they like to participate, share and hear from friends and family. Amazingly enough, they also like to hear from you at the library. And remember, web 2.0 is the web. These things are everywhere.
It’s about expectations. Web 2.0 has changed how people expect websites to behave. They expect to be able to comment, interact, and participate on websites. Let me give you some examples. When I started making amigurumi, little crocheted dolls, I went to my library and checked out a couple of books. We didn’t have that many. So I went to the bookstore and started looking there. Then I went on Amazon, and started reading reviews, seeing what others liked about the books they bought. I expected Amazon to have this kind of information on the site. It wasn’t “value-added” material. It was the content I expected. Another example. I read an online news article. I want others to read it. I click on the “share” button, and voila, I am sharing something. I may also comment on the news article. People expect to be able to do things like these, even if it is simply the “share this” button that allows you to send an email or repost what you’re reading to Facebook or Twitter.
And ignoring it will certainly not improve your services.
We don’t want this to be the way everyone thinks of us. We don’t want people to think of libraries as old-school, irrelevant, or archival. We want them to know that libraries are living communities, part of their community, a place where they can explore creativity, learning, and entertainment.
So what we’re asking you to do today by participating in Bakers Dozen is to seize the day. Take the opportunity that the web is offering to libraries. The tools you learn about in Baker’s Dozen offer you new ways to communicate and interact with people. They give you opportunities to create relationships with people online, the same way you create relationships with people who walk into your buildings. And they are free, cheap, easy to access, and easy to use. What could be better?
We’re going to go over the 13 Things we did in Baker Dozen (The 1 st Batch). I will tell you what I believe are the key points about each thing, and I will give you examples. Then, it’s over to the lab to get some hands on experience.
But first, have No Fear. No one expects you to become a web 2.0 expert today. Web 2.0 is a moving target, and new products, sites and tools come out at an alarming pace everyday. No one, I assure you, knows what they all are or what they all do. Your library services come directly from your library’s goals. Don’t forget this. When looking at any new technologies, think of them in this context. IF a tool can help you achieve a goal, then figure out how you can use it. But playing with things is the only way to learn about them to find out if they are relevant. Which is why we do Baker’s Dozen. We want you to have a safe place to try things out. We also want to give you some background and examples, so that you can put the tools in context. There is no failure. You cannot break anything, ruin anything, or embarrass yourself. So let’s go.

One example of a wiki is our very own Baker’s Dozen site. It’s a place for library staff to learn and interact. You can use wikis for something like this – a project, a training program, or just to keep track of stuff. Things to notice: Easy Edit – intuitive, obvious – and no training required. Our staff picked up on Wetpaint without needing any training. Discussions - social My Profile - personal Photos – multimedia Videos - multimedia Members = community Invite – this wiki requires you to be invited before you can edit it. Libraries are also using wikis for other things. (see next slide)
Like subject guides. Subject guides usually include links to resources. These resources may change frequently. So that many people on staff can contribute and update these lists, you could use a wiki for this content. Wikis can be set up so that only certain people can contribute to them, if you want. Which is different than how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia allows anyone to create an account and start contributing. If you wanted to use a wiki for something like subject guides, you could set it up so that only people you invite can contribute, but anyone in the world can see your wiki. The advantages of having a wiki like this are: The wiki is searchable. You don’t need a programmer to make you a search box. It is easy to update the wiki and get rid of out-of-date content You can link to it from anywhere on your library site, and could, if you wanted to, make it your entire subject guide section. It’s totally free You can do it yourself.
Avatars are a way to identify yourself online.
Things to notice: Personal – get to dress up your avatar however you want Creative – notice the wings – you can be anything you want Informational – gender of avatar gives you clues Logo – can be official logo or an unofficial logo Avatars add a sense of personal presence on the web. When you’re interacting with a person online, you want to have a sense of who they are. So on your social media sites for your library, you may want to create an avatar to represent the library.

I love flickr because people who have web skills have created all these free toys that make it even more fun. Without any programming knowledge, I went to a website and plugged in little bits of info (flickr username, what set I wanted) and got this great photo slideshow. There are SO many flickr tools out there, and all you have to do is embed the code where you want it. Things to notice Photo box Photos along bottom Colors chosen by me No coding!
