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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

About the Novels
5. Crusoe in ‘Robinson Crusoe’
● Crusoe is a Protagonist of the novel and his adventure is the main idea
discussed in it.
● He is curious, resourceful, and determined, which are qualities that
serve him well during his trials on the deserted island.
● The central event of the novel occurs when Crusoe is shipwrecked on a
deserted island off the coast of South America.
● He is the sole survivor of the shipwreck and is left stranded on the island,
where he spends some of the years of his life.
● Crusoe's time on the island forces him to become self-reliant and he
learns to build shelter, make tools, hunt, and cultivate crops.
6. Cruso in ‘Foe’
● Cruso in this novel is more like a minor character than Crusoe.
● Similar to Robinson Crusoe, Cruso is a survivor of a shipwreck.
● Unlike the detailed background provided for Robinson Crusoe in Defoe's
work, Cruso's past is shrouded in mystery.
● The novel does not provide a clear account of his life before the
shipwreck.
● In "Foe," Cruso's character is used to explore themes of colonization,
power dynamics, and exploitation.
● He becomes a symbol of how colonialism and storytelling can distort and
silence the experiences of those who are subjugated.
7. Robinson Crusoe as a Colonial Character
● He is like a great inspirational man for all the English men of that time.
(Han)
● Upon arriving on the deserted island, Crusoe takes possession of the
land and its resources.
● He goes about claiming the island as his own, demonstrating a sense of
entitlement and domination similar to colonial powers.
● Crusoe's attitude towards the island's native inhabitants reflects the
imperialist mindset of the colonial era.
● His thought and behavior towards Friday also reflects his personality as a
colonialist.
● He uses the island's natural wealth, such as animals and crops, to sustain
himself which can be considered as a colonial tendency to exploit the
resources of colonized territories.
8. Cruso as a Postcolonial Character
● Cruso is a character who inhabits the same island as the original
Robinson Crusoe, but Coetzee takes liberties with his portrayal.
● Coetzee's portrayal of Cruso underscores how the colonial perspective
distorts and erases the voices and experiences of those who are
colonized.
● He becomes a victim of his own isolation and limited perspective.
● Cruso's presence on the island reflects the historical imperialism and
exploitation associated with European colonialism. (Han)
● His character and experiences are subjected to critique and questioning,
highlighting the limitations and biases of colonial storytelling like many
postcolonial figures, Cruso experiences a form of exile and isolation.
9. Crusoe & ‘Robinson Crusoe’ Cruso & ‘Foe’
● In the end of the Robinson Crusoe,
he and Friday are Rescued and
return to civilization.
● Defoe centers on survival and self-
reliance.
● Readers are left to consider the
possible outcomes of what
happened after Crusoe went to
civilization.
● His character is mysterious and
open to interpretation, and his
fate is left unresolved in "Foe."
● "Foe" by Coetzee explores themes
of narrative and power.
● Readers are left to consider the
possible outcomes that, Is Cruso
Dead or Alive?
Similarities and Differences
10. ● In this novel Defoe wrote the
character development of Crusoe.
● Robinson Crusoe can be read as
Allegorical Autobiography. (Seidel)
● In this novel Coetzee
concentrated more on the
character of Susan and did
not give the proper
description of Cruso.
● Defoe is believed to have drawn inspiration from the actual
experiences of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish privateer who lived on the
island of Juan Fernández, situated in the Pacific off the coast of Chile,
when creating the character Robinson Crusoe. (Seidel)
● Robinson Crusoe follows the ideas of Nationalism, Eurocentrism,
Englishness and Coloniality. (Han)
● Foe has the ideas of Postcoloniality, Subaltern thought and
Deconstruction of Defoe’s Eurocentrism. (Han)
