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.

"In classrooms where Chess has taken hold, educators are

kids who once showed little interest in getting a good education

excelling. Chess:
• sharpens problem-solving skills
• enhances imagination and creativity
• promotes independence and a sense of responsibility
• hones memory
• heightens self-esteem
• reinforces the concept of deferred gratification
• and much more!
-Maurice Ashley in Chess for Success

audience with minimal publicity

and the costs and challenges are few

very little about the mysterious game of chess
become the chief cheerleader of a group of
gung-ho chess warriors?"
9. Dahlstrom Chess by the Numbers
• 135 originally recruited
• 80 average at weekly meetings (lower
numbers after changing meeting date, also
due to sports, and losing students who are no
longer interested)
• Majority is male, roughly 80%.
• We have 60% 6th grade; 25% 7th grade; and
15% 8th grade.
We are also meeting our low-socio/ low-economic
students' needs by providing late-bus services for
after-school activities.
10. INNOVATIVE TEACHING GRANT!
We applied for -- and received --a grant of $2000 to apply to
our chess program, allowing us to hire a noted chess master to
teach advanced strategies to students who sign up for
workshops, and to provide for additional activities to support
our chess program.
We have parents who bring their elementary children to
participate in our chess club -- additional middle school
mentoring of younger students.
We have "resource" students participating -- again additional
mentoring student-to-student --

17. Chess Trivia Questions #1
When did the Queen become the
most powerful piece on the board?
Why?
18. Chess Trivia #1
Answer: Probably originated in the
15th Century, but the current strong
Queen rule spread with the rise of
powerful female rulers such as
Catherine the Great in Russia and
Victoria of England.
19. Chess Trivia #2
Which civilization invented the
game that eventually became
known as Chess?
20. Chess Trivia Continued #2
Answer: India was credited with the original
game called caturanga, but the Arabs
improved, popularized and spread the game
along with Islam before the 10th Century. The
Persians were also very influential in the early
period. Chess evolved into its modern form in
Europe and it's current rules were mostly
established by 1850.
21. Chess Trivia #3
In chess, there are two ways of
"wasting time." What are they?
22. Chess Trivia #3
1. The most obvious "time wasting" occurs when
playing with a clock and one waits a long time
before making a move.
2. The 2nd way of wasting time is by making
moves that are ill-conceived and being forced to
move the same piece out of trouble. Most
common amateur mistake is taking the queen
out early and then the opponent forces it to
move back several times.
