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.

USE OF THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS
6. •For the expression of ideas in the present with continuity
In Time:
We use the present continuous with verbs that express actions to express the idea that
something is happening now, at the very moment of speaking.
You are learning English now.
You are not studying now?
Are you watching this programme?
They are working to meet the deadline.
He is not watching TV.
What are you doing?
Why aren’t you speaking to Sarah?
7. •For the expression of temporary activities:
We can also use this tense for other kinds of temporary situations, even if the action
isn’t happening at this moment.
•John’s working in a bar until he finds a job in his field. (He might not be working
now.)
•I’m reading a really great book.
•She’s staying with her friend for a week.
•For the expression of activities in progress:
We use the present continuous for things that are happening at the moment of
speaking. These things usually last for quite a short time and they are not finished
when we are talking about them.
•I’m working at the moment.
•Please call back as we are eating dinner now.
•Julie is sleeping.
8. •For the expression of future (planned) :
The next use is for definite future arrangements (with a future time word). In
this case we have already made a plan and we are pretty sure that the event will
happen in the future.
•I’m meeting my father tomorrow.
•We’re going to the beach at the weekend.
•I’m leaving at three.
9. USE OF THE GERUND
Add ing to most verbs. Ex. Play > playing, cry > crying, bark > barking
For verbs that end in e, remove the e and add ing. Ex: slide > sliding, ride
> riding
For verbs that end in ie, change the ie to y and add ing. Ex: die > dying,
tie > tying
For a verb whose last syllable is written with a consonant-vowel-
consonant and is stressed, double the last letter before adding ing. Ex:
beg > begging, begin > beginning. However: enter > entering (last
syllable is not stressed)
10. •For the expression of circumstancial phrases of Time:
time expressions, in general, are short phrases that tell us WHEN, in a timeline, an action
happens. They tell us the frequency with which you do something.

•For the expression of circumstancial phrases of mode:
All the modals can be used in the continuous tense when they stress the idea that
something is in progress at present (or in the future with “will”). They emphasize the
action’s being in progress at the time when the person is speaking.As with all of the
continuous tenses, the idea of the “ing” is to emphasize the action of the verb and its being
in progress; the function of the modal is to influence the meaning of the verb.

• You should be paying attention to me now and not thinking about your girlfriend.
•It’s 3:00 a.m. right now, so my sister must be sleeping.
