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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Chapter 1
• Chapter one covers a host of many topics central to today’s
technologies.
• These skills are essential in today’s professional community.
• We will talk about (in some detail) iterative development,
evolutionary development, the Unified Process, agile
approaches, UML,
• Later on we will advance into more complex concepts that
address framework design and architectural analysis.
• Please note that the materials are meant to be foundational.

4. Thinking in Objects and UML - 1
• The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standard
diagramming notation; sometimes referred to as a blueprint.
• It is NOT OOA/OOD or a method
• Only a notation for capturing objects.
• UML is language-independent
• Analysis and design provide software “blueprints” captured in
UML.
• Blueprints serve as a tool for thought and as a form of
communication with others.

5. Thinking in Objects and UML – 2
• But it is far more essential to ‘think’ in terms of objects as
providing ‘services’ and accommodating ‘responsibilities.’
• Discuss: What is meant by ‘services?’ How indicated?
– How might you think these ‘services’ impact the design of classes?
– How might a client access these services?
• Discuss: What is meant by ‘responsibilities?’
– Encapsulation of data and services?

Thinking in Terms of Objects and UML - 3
• Object-Oriented Analysis (Overview)
– An investigation of the problem (rather than how a solution is defined)
– During OO analysis, there is an emphasis on finding and describing the
objects (or concepts) in the problem domain.
– For example, concepts in a Library Information System include Book,
and Library.
7. 7
Thinking in Terms of Objects and UML - 4
• Object-Oriented Design
– Emphasizes a conceptual solution that fulfills the requirements.
– Need to define software objects and how they collaborate to fulfill the
requirements.
– For example, in the Library Information System, a Book software object
may have a title attribute and a getChapter method.
• Designs are implemented in a programming language.
– In the example, we will have a Book class in Java.

9. Thinking in Objects and UML-6
• Then too, there are sets of proven design solutions to problems
that are considered ‘best practices.’
– Certain ‘groupings’ of classes with specific responsibilities / interfaces.
– These provide specific solutions to specific problems.
– Called Design Patterns
• We will discuss (much later) these patterns and how to apply
them to develop solutions to problems.
9
10. Thinking in Objects and UML-7
• Of course, design, solutions to requirements, ‘assume’ a robust
requirements analysis has taken place.
• Use Cases are often used to capture stories of requriements.
• Use Cases are not specifically designed to be object-oriented,
but rather are meant to capture how an application will be used.
• While there are many methods for capturing requirements, we
will concentrate on Use Cases ahead.

Basic Terms: Iterative, Evolutionary, and Agile
1. Introduction
• Iterative because the entire project will be composed of min-
projects and will iterate the same activities again and again (but
on different part of the project) until completion.
• Evolutionary (or incremental) because the software grows by
increments (to be opposed to the traditional, and somewhat old-
fashioned, Waterfall model of software development).
• Agile because we will use a light approach to software
development rather than a very rigid one (which may be needed
for a safety-critical system for example)
• This kind of approach seems better at treating software
development as a problem solving activity; also the use of
objects makes it amenable.
12. 12
Our Approach:
• We need a Requirements Analysis approach with OOA/OOD
need to be practiced in a framework of a development process.
• We will adopt an agile approach (light weight, flexible) in the
context of the Unified Process, which can be used as a sample
iterative development process.
• Within this process, the principles can be discussed.
• Please note that there are several other contexts that may be
used, such as Scrum, Feature-Driven Development, Lean
Development, Crystal Methods and others…
13. 13
Why the Unified Process:
• The Unified Process is a popular iterative software development
process.
• Iterative and evolutionary development involves relatively early
programming and testing of a partial system, in repeated cycles.
• It typically also means that development starts before the exact
software requirements have been specified in detail; feedback is
used to clarify, correct and improve the evolving specification:
this is in complete contrast to what we usually mean by
engineering!
14. 14
2. What is the Unified Process?
• The UP is very flexible and open and can include other practices
from other methods such as Extreme Programming (XP) or
Scrum for example.
– e.g. XP’s test-driven development, refactoring can fit within a UP
project; So can Scrum’s daily meeting.
– Being pragmatic in adapting a particular process to your needs is an
important skill : all projects are different.

16. The Rush to Code
• Critical ability to develop is to think in terms of objects and to
artfully assign responsibilities to software objects.
• Talk at great length in COP 3538 about encapsulation and
assigning methods to objects where the data is defined…
• One cannot design a solution if the requirements are not
understood.
• One cannot implement the design if the design is faulty.
• If I could only stop my students….
16
17. The Rush to Code
• Analysis: - investigate the problem and the requirements.
– What is needed? Required functions? Investigate domain objects.
– The Whats of a system.
– Do the right thing (analysis)
• Design:
– Conceptual solution that meets requirements.
– Not an implementation
– Describe a database schema and software objects.
– Avoid the CRUD activities and commonly understood functionality.
– The ‘Hows’ of the system
– Do the thing right (design)
17
18. What is Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
• OOA: we find and describe objects or concepts in the problem
domain
• OOD: we define how these software objects collaborate to meet
the requirements.
– Attributes and methods.
• OOP: Implementation: we implement the design objects in,
say, Java, C++, C#, etc.

19. Homework Assignment #1
• Using the model below, develop a two-three page discussion
outlining the four activities listed and present the major features of
each.
A short definition and example of a domain model, interaction
diagram, and class diagram is sufficient, but be prepared to discuss
each of these.
Also, have a general idea about use cases – what they are designed
to do and what they are not designed to do.
