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.

16. TOUFEXIS “ LOVE: THE
RIGHT CHEMISTRY
Get back
into your
houses to
discuss this
essay and
answer
questions.
17. TAKE 10 MINUTES TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
First, summarize the story.
How does Toufexis “Hook the Reader”?
How does Toufexis focus her plan?
How does she create a logical plan?
19. HOOKING THE READER
What does Toufexis do to catch Readers’
attention?
The title—”Love: The Right Chemistry”
The epigraph quoting Greta Garbo’s line from the
film Ninotchka.
The conversational tone of the essay
Using “O.K.” and “Let’s” rather than the more
formal “let us.”
Focusing the Plan
20. FOCUSING THE PLAN
What She Does
She focuses on certain scientific
aspects of romantic love, specifically
the evolutionary biology and
neurochemistry of love between adult
human heterosexual mates.
By keeping to her focus, she is able to
present information that is unfamiliar,
and therefore interesting, to her
readers.
What She Does Not Do
Because she wants to emphasize love
as a tool to promote reproduction,
she does NOT include same-sex love,
or nonsexual love between friends
and family members
She does NOT discuss views on love
by various religions or cultures.
A logical plan
21. A LOGICAL PLAN
Introduction
of topic
Thesis
Forecast
Transitions
She provides clues for the reader:
22. Introduction of Concept: Paragraph 1: She announces that she is writing about “romantic
love,” a concept that she will address with “scientific precision.”
Thesis: Paragraph 2: What seems on the surface to be irrational, intoxicated behavior is in
fact part of nature’s master strategy—a vital force that has helped humans survive, thrive,
and multiply through thousands of years”
Forecast: In paragraph two: “Love rests firmly on the foundations of evolution, biology,
and chemistry.”
Toufexis also uses transitions to let the readers know when she is leaving one topic and
going to another: here is the transition from biology to neurochemistry:
23. THE TECHNICAL DETAILSTHE CONCEPT ESSAY
Topic: Write an essay about
the concept of Magic. Choose
a “limiter,” that is, a way to
focus your concept into a
more specific topic that
interests you and that you
want to investigate further.
When you have a good
understanding of the focused
concept you have chosen,
explain it to your readers,
considering carefully what
they might already know
about it and how your essay
might add to what they know.
Format your essay in MLA style. Submit it through
Turnitin.
Your finished text should be between four and six pages,
excluding the Works Cited page. This means you should
have at least four complete pages (one line on page five
to be safe!).
The Works Cited page for this research project must
contain at least three entries. One of these might be
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The second will
be from a dictionary or other source that helps you
define both your concept and your limiter. The other can
be from a book, an article from a scholarly journal, a
credible website, or an article from a popular magazine,
such as Time, National Geographic, or the LA Times.
24. Limiters to Consider
Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Divination,
Magical Creatures, Transfiguration, History of Magic,
Herbology, Spellcasting, Animagi.
25. IN-CLASS WRITING:
Consider “limiters” for your concept essay on Magic
Make a list of four different possibilities: For example, Potions, Spellcasting,
Animagi, and the History of Magic.
1. Which of the four seem more interesting? Write paragraphs for two of them,
sketching out what you already know about that particular kind of magic.
2. Think of at least one example for each from HP
26. This is a list of 20 supernatural beings. Ignore, for the moment, whether you
personally believe any of these exist. Instead, consider whether they seem as if
they could exist. In other words, how plausible is each of these creatures. Then
rank them 1-20 based on plausibility.
(1=most plausible [most likely could exist];
20 = least plausible [least likely could exist])
Bring the list of your rankings with you to our next class.
Notes:
--the Leviathan is a sea
monster mentioned in the
Hebrew Bible.
--Harpies are half-woman,
half-bird.
27. HOMEWORK
Read: HP through chapter 19
Read: “Fantastic Beasts and How to Rank Them”
(link on Canvas).
Post #8 Finish your in-class writing (slide 21), and
find a definition for your concept. It can be from a
dictionary or an encyclopedia.
Post #9: Name the two concepts about which you
wrote paragraphs. Find a few lines from Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that illustrate
each concept. Copy the quotation into your post,
and then explain how the example demonstrates,
defines, or embodies the concept. (Include page
numbers)
Bring: Post #9 and SMG to Class
