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.

2. Extensions or apps: extend the functionality of the browser
(Chrome) and how you view websites. Available at the Google Chrome store.
3. Extensions vs Apps?
What's the Difference Between a Chrome Web App and an Extension?
Apps
The Chrome Web Store introduces the concept of installable web apps. These apps will live
alongside extensions and themes in the store, which will become the one-stop shop for all three types
of installable components. So what exactly are installable web apps and how do they differ from
extensions? I’m glad you asked…
Apps= applications you can run inside your browser with a dedicated user
interface and, typically, rich user interaction. (Once installed, use the apps launcher to access.)
Extensions also provide functionality, but unlike apps, there is little or no UI component. Instead,
they extend the functionality of Google Chrome and the websites being viewed in it. For example, they
can extend Google Chrome by adding a new button to the address bar
