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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

digital technology, such as laptops and MP3’s. Many coming of age films
include mobile phones and some have entire scenes in which characters will
be talking on their mobile technology. Also typical iconography in coming of

their reckless and crazy driving skills. In high school centred films it is generic
for a geeky character to be carrying folders and books around too. Alcohol is
also typical iconography used in this genre.

some way and creates problems
and sparks up a range of
emotions for the main
protagonist.

A very popular setting within coming of age films is high schools. Teenagers
spend most of their time at school and they are a key character in the
coming of age genre so the high school location is expected. Another key
setting is the teenager’s bedroom, this is another stereotypical place where
teens spend most of their time. Some more examples of generic locations
are: Prom, in transportation such as cars, a family home, cafes, football
games and shopping centres.
‘Struck by lightning’ –

A classic example of theme used in coming of age films is young love. Many
coming of age films include a main protagonist and a love interest, and the
main theme will be their love story. Another typical theme would be parties,
alcohol and drugs, parties are usually the place where things go wrong in the
film and something has to be resolved. Teen issues are a generic theme too,
such as mental disorders, hormonal issues, sexuality and exams. Furthermore
these teen issues are typically the main narrative of the film and provide
complications within the story.

bright, typical
coming of age film.
