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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Burning Questions
As Baltimore regroups from the “business side” of a tipping point, reactions to the violent
protests flood in from all corners. To many who feel a kinship with the recent victims of
excessive force meted out by police, the Baltimore riots are a justifiable response to a painful
history of unequal, often brutal treatment at the hands of those who are supposed to protect.
Others, like David Simon, a former reporter for the Baltimore Sun and creator of the Baltimore-
based HBO series, “The Wire,” recently commented, "If you can’t seek redress and demand
reform without a brick in your hand, you risk losing this moment for all of us in Baltimore.” And
others seem focused on decrying the lack of equivalent rage for rampant black-on-black
violence and suggest African-Americans are bringing this lethal chaos upon themselves by
developing a knee-jerk culture of resisting arrest (no matter how unjust the arrest itself may be,
they seem to suggest).
One thing is certain, emotions hit a fever pitch. And while the media focus predictably chooses
the flames of Baltimore over the many well-attended protest marches that have taken place in
recent months, what better time is there to take a deep look at not just why these emotions are
igniting, but how they’re manifested?
Even if one believes the riots are justified (and historically, violent protests have unquestionably,
if indirectly, helped bring about positive changes to society), one has to ask if those inciting and
participating in the violence and looting were ever presented with an alternate way to access
and express their raw emotions. With so much focus on the quantifiable academic results of our
education system, who is quantifying the emotional learning (or utter lack thereof)? Without
institutionally instilling social and emotional tools into everyday school curriculum, from Pre-K
through high school and beyond, how are young people expected to understand the linchpins of
conflict resolution or learn to make value-based decisions?
It is only by committing to an integration of social emotional learning and community and team
building skills into our core education system that we can ever hope to give children the
confidence that they have a choice when it comes to expressing their anger and dissatisfaction.
In “The Disease of American Democracy,” Robert Reich argues that, “The only way back toward
a democracy and economy that work for the majority is for most of us to get politically active
once again, becoming organized and mobilized.” It seems clear from our vantage that the first
step on this critical path is learning how to get involved and work together.
If we don’t provide young people with the tools to express themselves peacefully and effectively,
we cannot be surprised when they don’t.
