In the mobile age, "Mobile Literacy" replaces general "Computer Literacy". The focus is on effective use of a mobile device in an online internet connected world. Many users are mobile only, having no PC or Laptop at their disposal.
In many scenarios, mobile only users live in precarious socio-economic conditions. This presentation addresses the use of mobile devices as a means to support users as they educate themselves, improve their work chances, optimise the use of meagre financial resources and consider security in a digital world.

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.

Editor's Notes
Discuss concept of substitution. Same task with different tool.
Beyond a phone. Why do we use Smartphone we choose to use? Is it a status item, or do we consider choice based on functionality?
Discuss this based on “Stuff In There” and Stuff Out There” examples. “Stuff in There” includes what was one the Smartphone when acquired (Yellow). “Stuff Out There” includes all applications that can be found, downloaded and installed from application stores (Blue).
Focus on progressing from Standalone, through Cellular Service Dependency to Internet Service Dependency. Use examples to highlight why applications are classified as they are.
Show how functionality is enhanced when Applications integrate with each other and use each other’s services. Share examples of this – location aware applications, contacts underpinning email and WhatsApp, Clock timers and Media player etc.
Give examples of applications and their alignment with business activities. Note and clarify the classification as standalone, cellular service dependent and internet service dependent applications.
Have participants discuss their use of specific applications, their perceptions of usability, value and usefulness.
This sets the scene for the exercises to follow, excluding the Buy / Sell activity area.
Link to Discussion: D-03
What to use for conflict handling. Urgent or Not. Respect and the right to interrupt. Single person or group communication. Private versus public information. What is nature of information to be shared.
