AFFINITY - Bone Health in the Park - 29th April 2014anne spencer
The Bone Health in the Park (BHIP) program was developed as a collaborative falls prevention and bone health education program. It was created in response to an audit that found two-thirds of attendees at a healthy aging clinic had reduced bone density and little awareness of bone health. The program included two phases - "I am not falling for you!" and "Forever Autumn 2" - that provided education resources for both healthcare professionals and the public. An evaluation found a 15-33% reduction in falls at participating facilities after implementing the Forever Autumn program. BHIP aims to continue providing bone health and falls prevention education through an online community of practice.

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.
