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.

2. Chapter Overview
Skills for learning
– Reading for comprehension
– Problem solving
Organizing your learning process
Preparing for and taking tests
Making effective use of your peers
3. Reading for Comprehension
What to do before you read?
What to do while you read?
What to do after you read?
4. Before You Read
Establish a purpose for the reading
– Comprehend principles and concepts
Survey/skim/preview
– Headings, figures, charts, drawings, tables,
diagrams
Make a list of questions to be answered
– Turn headings, subheadings into questions
5. While You Read
Read actively
– Use pen or pencil to make notes
Focus on understanding concepts thoroughly
– Don’t focus on examples problems first
Take your time; don’t try to read too fast
Write down questions that need to be
answered about anything you don’t understand
Periodically, stop and recite (ideally aloud)
what you have read
6. After You Read
Recite answers to the questions you prepared
before you started reading. Reread where
needed.
Review within a day; again in a week; when
you prepare for an exam; and when you
prepare for the final exam
Solve problems
Apply the same principles of before, while and after to material
presented in multimedia form, e.g. videos, animations, etc.
7. Analytical Problem Solving
Step 1 - Understand the problem
Step 2 - Devise a plan
Step 3 - Carry out the plan
Step 4 - Look back
8. Learning
Technique
How to implement
Practice testing Use provided quizzes or come up with your own practice tests for
to-be-learned material.
Distributed practice Distribute your study time in smaller sessions over a given period
of time instead of having one long study session in the same time
period.
Interleaved practice Mix problems; instead of doing all problems related to one topic
and then all problems related to the next topic. Mix them up.
Elaborative
interrogation and
self-explanation
Come up with your own explanation of a concept or theory (“say
it in your own words”); state how the new information relates to
what you already know; explain each step when you solve a
problem.
Summarization Make summaries of your lecture notes; create your own equation
sheets.
Highlighting,
underlining
Mark important parts of to-be-learned materials while reading
Rereading Read over material again after an initial reading
9. Effective use of Rereading
Practice Test
Re-reading
First Reading
Mastered
all concepts?
No
Yes
10. Organizing Your Learning Process
Master each Level
Procrastination
Mastering the material
Learn to manage your time
Priority management
11. Master Each Level
Don’t allow the next class session in a course to
come without having mastered the material
presented in the previous class session.
Note: This is perhaps the single most powerful academic
success strategy!
12. Procrastination
Procrastination – “Choosing to put off
something we know we should be doing and
instead do something we know we shouldn’t be
doing.”
Reasons for procrastination
Fear of failure
Fear of success
Low tolerance for unpleasant tasks
Disorganized
13. Mastering the Material
Learn from your lecture notes
Reread the text
Solve problems
1. Study annotate
2. Question/reduce
3. Summarize
4. Recite
5. Reflect
6. Review
14. Desirable Difficulty
You learn more from a task for which you had
to put in some effort
Right amount of difficulty (desirable difficulty)
will result in improved long-term retention of
the material studied
Seek out practice problems which require a
certain amount of “struggling”
Avoid doing only easy problems, they are easy
because you already mastered the material
15. Learn to Manage Your Time
Place a high value on your
time
Schedule your time
Make a serious
commitment to your study
time
16. Benefits of Scheduling
Your Study Time
See if you are overextended
More likely to keep up in your classes
Provide feedback as to how much you are
studying
You’ll learn what you can do and can’t do
You’ll feel that you have more time
You’ll feel much less stressed-out over school
17. How Many Hours Should You
Study?
How difficult is the course?
How good a student are you?
How well prepared are you for the course?
What grade do you want to receive?
18. Making Up Your Weekly Schedule
Block out all of your commitments (classes,
meetings, part-time work, time to get to and from
school, time for meals, etc.)
Remainder of time is available for one of two
purposes – 1) study; or 2) recreation
Schedule your study time to avoid wasting time
answering these three questions over and over
again:
– Should I study now or later?
– Where should I study?
– What subject should I study?
19. Make a Serious Commitment to
Your Study Time
Your scheduled study time is non-negotiable
Follow through with your schedule will:
– Make you feel you actually have more time
– Reduce your stress level
– Improve your academic performance
20. Daily and Long Term Planning
Use a “To Do List” for daily/weekly planning
– Each evening write down what needs to be done the
next day
– Prioritize the items on your list from high to low
priority
– Cross off items form your list as you complete them
Use a long-term planner (paper based or
electronically) to track:
– Long term commitments, important dates and
deadlines, appointments etc.
22. Priority
Management
Stay out of quadrants III and IV it is not
important!
Quadrant I is crisis management. We can’t
ignore urgent and important activities.
Quadrant II is were we want to operate but it
requires to give up activities from III and IV.
Choosing Quadrant II activities will reduce the
need to always operate in the crisis
management mode of Quadrant I
23. Preparing For Tests
Schedule time for review
“Scope out” tests
Practice under time pressure
Get a good night’s sleep
Make sure you have the right materials and
tools
Arrive early
24. Test-Taking Strategies
Read through the entire exam
Work on problems from easiest to most difficult
based on your feeling what is easiest/most
difficult
– Spend time proportional to points available, 50
points on a 50 minutes exam spend 1 minute per
point, e.g. spent 10 minutes on a 10 point problem
“Get stuck, move on, come back”
If time permits, check and recheck your work
and make sure all questions are answered
25. Test Anxiety
Test anxiety is real and will affect your
performance
If you have test anxiety or nervousness try the
following:
– Spend 10 minutes before an exam jotting down your
thoughts and feelings about the exam
– This will set aside those thoughts and feelings and
free up your working memory
For severe anxiety seek counseling right away
26. Making Effective Use of Your Peers
Overview of collaborative learning
Benefits of group study
Frequently asked questions
28. Class Poll on
Collaborative Learning
How many of you spend some fraction of your
study time on a regular basis studying with at
least one other student?
How many of you spend virtually 100 percent
of your study time studying alone?
For those who study alone – “Why don’t you
study with other students?
For those who study with other students –
“How is it working for you?”
29. Why Do Students Study Alone?
I learn more studying by myself.
– This contradicts ALL the research that has been
done on student success and learning.
I don’t have anyone to study with.
– That’s an excuse. Just look around…
It’s not right. You’re supposed to do your own
work.
– Today everything in industry is
collaborative/teamwork it’s a necessary skill
30. Benefits of Group Study
You’ll be better prepared for the engineering
“work-world”
You’ll learn more
You’ll enjoy it more
31. Frequently Asked Questions
What percentage of my studying should be done in
groups?
– Depends on individual, 25-50% is a good start, key is
that members come prepared to a meeting
What is the ideal size of a study group?
– 2-4 persons will work, 2 is the smallest (lack of diversity),
5 might be too large (someone might be left out)
What can be done to keep the group from getting
off task?
– Set up fixed times, like 45min than 15min break, set a
goal what needs to be done, no one leaves before
32. Group Discussion
Benefits of Group Study
In your group, discuss the benefits of working
with other students on your academic work.
Appoint a leader to keep the discussion on topic and a
recorder to write down and report what was learned
33. Alternate Group Exercise –
Experiential Lesson in Group Work
