This document discusses the evolution of the World Wide Web and trends in information and communication technologies. It describes Web 1.0 as static pages, Web 2.0 as adding dynamic pages and user interaction through features like tagging and user-generated content, and Web 3.0 as focusing on semantic content. The document also outlines trends like technological convergence across devices, the rise of social media like social networks and microblogging, the growth of mobile technologies and various operating systems, and assistive media to help those with impairments.

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.

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.

2. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGIES
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) – deals
with use of different communication technologies such as
mobile phones, telephone, Internet, etc. to locate, save, send
and edit information.
Several international companies dub the Philippines as the
“ICT Hub of Asia.”
3. WEB 1.0
When the World Wide Web (www) was invented, most web
pages were static.
Static (also known as flat page or stationary page) in the sense
that the page is “as is” and cannot be manipulated by user.
This is referred as Web 1.0.
4. WEB 2.0
Web 2.0 is the evolution of web 1.0 by adding dynamic web
pages.
The user is able to see a website differently than others.
It allows user to interact with the page, may be able to
comment or create a user account.
Examples: Social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing
sites, hosted services, and web applications.
5. KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
Folksonomy – allows user to categorize and classify/ arrange
information using freely chosen keywords(e.g., tagging).
Popular social networking sites such as Twitter use tags that
start with the pound sign(#)also referred as hashtag.
Rich user experience – content is dynamic and is responsive to
user’s input.
User participation – the owner of the website is not the only
one who is able to put content.
6. KEY FEATURES OF WEB 2.0
Long Tail – services that are offered on demand rather than
on a one-time purchase.
Software as a service – users will subscribe to a software only
when needed rather than purchasing them.
Mass participation – diverse information sharing through
universal web access.
7. WEB 3.0
Semantic web – is a movement led by the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C). It provides a common framework that
allows data to be shared and reused across application,
enterprise, and community boundaries.
W3C standard encourages web developers to include
semantic content in their web pages.
Tim Berners-Lee – inventor of world wide web.
8. TRENDS IN ICT
1. Convergence - Technological convergence is the synergy of
technological advancements to work on a similar goal or task.
2. Social Media – is a website, application, or online channel that
enables web users to create, co-create, discuss, modify, and
exchange user-generated content.
6 types of Social Media
Social Networks –sites that allow you to connect with other
people with the same interests or background.
Bookmarking sites – these are the sites that allow you to store
and manage links to various websites and resources
9. Social News – sites that allow users to post their own news
item or links to other news sources.
Media Sharing - sites that allow you to upload and share
media content like images, music, and video.
Microblogging – sites that focus on short updates from the
user.
Blogs and Forums – allow users to post their content.
10. 3. Mobile Technologies – capable to do tasks that were originally found in
personal computer. Mobile devices use different operating system.
iOs – used in Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad.
Android – an open source operating system developed by Google.
Blackberry OS – used in Blackberry devices.
Windows Phone OS – a closed source and proprietary operating system
developed by Microsoft.
Symbian – the original smartphone OS; used by Nokia devices
WebOS – originally used for smartphones; now used for smart TV’s
Windows Mobile – developed by Microsoft for smartphones and pocket
PC’s
11. 4. Assistive Media – is a non-profit service designed to help
people who have visual or reading impairments.
