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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
4. An ongoing effort to increase the effectiveness and efficiency
of our products, services and processes.
Feedback from our processes and/or the users are
continuously evaluated against our team and organisational
goals.
Continual learning process both for our admin users and
learners
So what does this image tell us?
Continual Improvement is nothing new – We have naturally been improving ourselves since the beginning and will no doubt continue to do so into the future. It is human nature to want to better yourself and the systems you create.
This image also shows us that not every change is for the best and this is why it is important to continually assess performance and functionality, especially when changes are made.
With the help from Learning Pool, Bucks Fire and Rescue are continually assessing the usability of our LMS and looking for ways to improve it as a product. We look at the services we provide (adapt, training records, reports) to see if we can improve them and consistently evaluate the processes we put in place.
We value feedback and welcome it at every opportunity. User engagement is very important to us and last year we logged 420 individual feedback requests. This feedback came in the form of emails, focus groups, actively talking to our users and providing training at every opportunity. I think it is important that you are always gauging the user’s opinion as they are the ones who are actively using the system, this also adds some ownership for the users, which helps with the buy in of the product.
When I first joined our E-Learning team, I fell into the trap of being reactive to some of our user’s feedback and made changes without considering the impact and consequences of those changes. This inevitably led to some wrong decisions being made.
As I mentioned in the previous slide, user feedback is extremely important, whatever form it comes in. I’d be more worried if our users weren’t suggesting ideas on how to improve things. However, it is very important to plan any changes you are deciding to make and I always like to ask the question ‘what will it achieve?’.
It is important that you look at the impact of any change. How will it affect other users? Is this a change that most users want? Is this change improving the system? Will this change impact on other areas?
What I am trying to say is; do your research, plan before you commit to and change and risk assess the outcome of those changes.
It is equally important to know when to stop changing things. This could be because the system cannot be improved any further and you are simply changing things for the sake of it, or you may look at the impact on your users who may need some consistency for a while.
Don’t expect your users to automatically know what to do when you make a change. I know from experience! Even if you are moving an icon from one side of the screen to another, you need to communicate this to your users. I also found that explaining your rationale for these changes really helps with user buy in (especially when the change is for them).
User Email following training on our updated training records: “You were very open to suggestions, it was very informative and you gave some good tips & tricks which shall make it even easier to use. It’s definitely improved –Keep up the good work.”
In Bucks we really have gone for a user led design and the feedback we are now receiving from our users is extremely positive. Some have even thanked us!!!!
User led, doesn’t mean user demands! I mentioned earlier that any change should be carefully thought out. Don’t let your users pressure you into a change. Remember that you are the expert and you are in a better position to make an informed decision based on organisational goals, system capabilities and the impact on other users. This is why it is so important to know your own and the system’s capabilities.
I learnt very quickly that as hard as we try as a team, sometimes it’s simply not possible to give the user what they want.
In order to create ‘awesomeness’ you simply cannot have an ego.
I know from experience that it is very easy to become attached to a system you have developed and nurtured:
When my colleague Sean first joined our team I found things very hard. Sean was extremely enthusiastic and full of wonderful and new ideas on how to improve our LMS, some of which meant making changes to the things I had implemented. At first I felt fairly threatened by Sean and my ego began to take over, which ultimately led to me becoming defensive and not taking on board what Sean was suggesting. The truth is Sean’s ideas were spot on and once I was able to put my ego aside we began to work really well together and our LMS had come on leaps and bounds.
Always remember you are part of a team, not just with those you directly work with, but with everyone in your organisation (The people that use your LMS).
Make your LMS fun to use and a simple process for the user.
Your LMS must be quick and easy to use and navigate. Users should know exactly what they need to do and get there in minimal clicks
If something doesn’t add value to your LMS then it probably doesn’t need to be there
Make learning fun through gamification and interaction – 8/10 of our users said they would probably go back and redo the learning if they enjoyed it the first time around.
Don’t confuse your users by trying to give them too many options. Keep your LMS simple.
Our LMS has gone through various stages of evolution.
Image 1:
When we first introduced ‘The Learning Zone’ in 2013 we made the mistake of trying to cram in every function all at once and definitely over complicated the design of our LMS site.
We also didn’t make the best use of what we did have. For example, the scrolling image was just a series of pretty pictures and had no real functionality.
Image 2:
With Learning Pool’s help we began developing a rebrand for our site called the Hub of Education And Training (HEAT) Online.
We wanted to learn from our previous mistakes by simplifying our design and making best use of space.
Our first design removed a lot of the unused blocks and we introduced image based icons to help simplify the design. We introduced ‘My Path’ based on user feedback, which allowed our users to access their required learning at a click of a button (activated through Totara’s programs and certifications).
We also added a News option (pretty much a forum), which was due to user’s wanting to be more informed about what was happening on the site.
Image 3:
Just before we launched in October 2015, we re-evaluated the new design and soon realised we were doubling up on certain areas of the site:
My choice = find courses.
Upcoming = News.
We again combined these areas to simplify the design and removed anything on the homepage that wasn’t adding any value to the site, this left us with a really fresh and simple approach. As you can see, we also freshened up the colours of the site (the all blue look wasn’t working for us).
Image 4:
In March 2016 we made a decision to add My Path and My Courses (record of learning) to the menu bar so they are always accessible wherever you are on the site (not just the homepage). We also removed the My News icon and now put our latest updates straight onto the homepage, so they are accessible as soon as our users enter the site.
You can also see from this image that we are now using the scrolling image more effectively, and these images are clickable to allow users to go straight to the package.
In this video we talk about some of the changes we have brought into our e-learning modules to support our user’s experience when using the LMS.
In this example I want to highlight that even the smallest changes can have a dramatic impact on your user’s experience and that it’s worth looking at all options before making a decision.
In 2015 we were receiving several requests per month to reset passwords.
When we reviewed our support requests we soon identified that most of these requests were due to users using their computer username as their login rather than their full email.
In most instances this would be resolved by using a single sign solution, however our network currently will not allow this. Therefore we ventured to the drawing board.
Our original solution was to change all of our user’s usernames. This would have been a big task to achieve and we were set to make these changes.
Just before we began to make these changes we decided to take one last look at the issue we had to see if their was an easier solution. Then BINGO…
…Rather than change all the usernames, just get the login page to request the user’s email rather than username.
We have not had a single issue related with usernames since!
In this Case Study we are going to look at the Training Records we have adopted within our LMS. I am happy to say we are providing a real blended approach to our operational training, not to mention the cost efficiencies of having all our e-learning and training records under one place.
We went live with our first set of online training records in April 2015 and received a lot of feedback from our users about what they required from the system. There were 5 items that appeared over and over again so we knew there was a genuine need to make some changes this year.
This video shoes how our Training Records work and runs through how we achieved it.
