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.

My name is Christopher Bishop. I am a currently working as a consultant at a firm called Future Workplace. I am delighted to be here. Let me give you a sense of what I am going to speak about this morning…
Why me? Multiple careers over 35 years
Share a perspective on where we are in the arc of history
Talk about my secret formula to help you be successful in the global borderless workplace
Kind of the poster child for 21st century work model
Graduated with a BA in German literature-minored in music – translated five short stories into English by eccentric post WW II German authors
Took 16th century poetry, dance classes, jazz, played in two symphonies, did gigs with my rock band at ski resorts
Let's talk about McKendree Spring…
6 months after graduating, I got a gig with McKendree Spring. 6 months after that I was touring England and Germany. Toured all over the US and many gigs in Canada. Recorded three albums – one at the Manor, Oxford England, Electric Ladyland- (Hendrix’s studio on 8th St in New York) and Bearsville in Woodstock, where the Band, Bob Dylan and Todd Rundgren among other made records…when the band broke up I moved to New York City REINVENTION
Became a freelance musician in New York…
Moved to NYC in 1976 and worked as a freelance musician –played in dozens if not hundreds of bands over 16 years – Robert Palmer, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Skunk Baxter
styles ranging from country to rock to punk to R&B to jazz to subbing on Broadway in the pit for CATS
PICTURES – clockwise from top left: with Peter O'Toole on the set of a TV movie called *Svengali*, on a rooftop on Chambers St. in NYC in 1981 with Baird Hersey (class of 73) pop-rock band, with the Robert Palmer band outside the Copenhagen airport (summer 1981), cover of the live album I did in London with Robert Palmer - 1980
MOVE TO JINGLES_REINVENTION
Then…the jingle business…
Got tired of being on the road – asked friends: "what do you do to sleep in your own bed at night?" Jingles!
Wrote music for radio and TV commercials using a Synclavier – state of the art (at the time) digital musical instrument – sang and played bass on the first Kit Kat jingle Gimme A Break MOVE TO COMPUTERS - REINVENTION
Leaping over the digital divide to become a web producer…
REINVENTION – MOVE TO WEB
Worked at several seminal interactive agencies in New York – CKS Partners, Eagle River Interactive, i3 Media – made the transition by learning, reading, talking to people
Met a woman on the train who worked at IBM (network) – invited me to interview at IBM.
Much to my surprise, IBM hired me in 1998 to be an account manager in their Corporate Internet Programs division!
Over the course 15 years at IBM I had many different jobs…
REINVENTION – VARIOUS ROLES
Hired as an Account Manager in Corporate Internet Programs in 1998, have worked in Web production, business strategy development, and communications
Social media, virtual worlds, use of collaboration tools
Over the past 15 years at IBM I have had many different jobs…Web account manager, strategy consultant, communications specialist, social media lead, virtual worlds event producer
REINVENTION – move to HR consulting – in August 2013 I started working as a consultant at Future Workplace, advising HR execs on how to address the challenges and opportunities represented by the changing workplace paradigm
When I graduated in 1972, there were no: no personal computers, no World Wide Web, no cell phones, no Facebook, no GPS, no DVDs’ also - no hybrid cars, no blogging, no texting, no Leet Speak, no cloning, no mapping the human genome, no space shuttle, no microloans, no wireless power, no black president,
Every 40 – 60 years over the past three centuries, society has witnessed a great surge of business innovation sparked by technological advances which usher in a revolutionary new era. Each follows a predictable pattern of two distinct periods of 20-30 years. There have been five such surges in modern history according to Carlota Perez, who teaches at Cambridge University, wrote a very important book called "Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital," about how the world economy has developed.
She found a consistent pattern in how these phases emerge, I’m going to spend a little time on this historical approach, to give you a sense of the basic logic, because the same pattern plays out time and again. We see this pattern around every major new technology. Something new emerges, and all of a sudden we need to go back and deal with some of the societal infrastructural issues. Then the technology can take off. In the late 1840s, investors poured money into new railways with little regard for where they were routed, how well they were designed or how many rail lines the market really needed. And there was no thought given to standards, so when two lines approached each other, they'd find their tracks didn't line up.
- To some, this period is a much more boring affair. All the quick bucks have been made. The emphasis is no longer on raw technology but on how to apply and capitalize on it.
Period of invention generates wholly new products, markets and industries and a new infrastructure to support its growth.
Speculative capital inevitably leads to a bubble, an economic meltdown and a correction.
Market adjusts, resulting in extended period of "deployment“
The same pattern occurred with steam railways in 1829; with steel, electricity, and heavy engineering in 1875; with oil, autos, and mass production in 1908; and right up to the present era, which she calls information and telecommunications, starting in 1971. that we're just starting the deployment phase of the information and telecommunications era, which will take perhaps 25 to 45 years to get really baked into our society.
Data is everywhere and easy to find
They don't teach that in B school — at least not yet. In fact, Rob Carter, chief information officer at FedEx, thinks the best training for anyone who wants to succeed in 10 years is the online game World of Warcraft. Carter says WoW, as its 10 million devotees worldwide call it, offers a peek into the workplace of the future. Each team faces a fast-paced, complicated series of obstacles called quests, and each player, via his online avatar, must contribute to resolving them or else lose his place on the team. The player who contributes most gets to lead the team — until someone else contributes more. The game, which many Gen Yers learned as teens, is intensely collaborative, constantly demanding and often surprising. "It takes exactly the same skill set people will need more of in the future to collaborate on work projects," says Carter. "The kids are already doing it."Read more: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1898024_1898023_1898086,00.html #ixzz1aCFsj5SM
By 2019, Generation X — that relatively small cohort born from 1965 to 1978 — will have spent nearly two decades bumping up against a gray ceiling of boomers in senior decision-making jobs. But that will end. Janet Reid, managing partner at Global Lead, a consulting firm that advises companies like PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble, says, "In 2019, Gen X will finally be in charge. And they will make some big changes."Read more: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1898024_1898023_1898086,00.html #ixzz1aCF2d0sy
"Paying your dues, moving up slowly and getting the corner office — that's going away. In 10 years, it will be gone," says Bruce Tulgan, head of the consulting firm Rainmaker Thinking, based in New Haven, Conn., and author of a new book about managing Gen Y called Not Everyone Gets a Trophy.Read more: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1898024_1898023_1898086,00.html #ixzz1aCFDrkIJ
Globally interconnected - Data from embedded devices
Driving new and evolving business models
This rate of new job growth is growing exponentially
This quote is attributed to Richard Riley, Secretary of Education in the Clinton administration
To be successful, I have used the same skills across all of my careers…
DaVinci – multi-armed robotic surgery tool
Circuits on contact lenses
Drugs delivered by nanomachines
Urban foldable electric cars
Privatized space program – delivering cargo to the ISS, space tourism, lunar tours
Remote controlled robotic teachers
Holographic and virtual reality learning content
Artificial intelligence devices, DeepQA like IBM’s Watson
After 3d TV?
Voting on your iPhone
Capturing energy from wave motion
Walking through 3D renderings of financial data
Once you are on the netwrok – you can work from anywhere. Tehcnology is making geography history – paraphrasing Cory Ondreka
Companies are using social media to attract, recruit and retain employees
Siemens used a campaign on Tumblr to identify potential managers
Companies are allowing potential employees to apply for jobs on their smart phone using LinkedIn
The companies no longer control the message – paid, owned and earned is the new model of communication. Glassdoor.com allows employees to rank and rate the company they work for and publish the results in a public forum.
So this brings us right to the question of how are you going to be successful in this new borderless, global workplace paradigm?
Through my secret formula ingredients – antenna, network, and brand
Be aware of trending ideally in all fields not just the one you are interested in
It all connects in various ways, to varying degrees, but it all does
Chase the maelstrom, find the chaos, seek out the mayhem
Formerly the domain of movie stars, athletes and the occasional politician – but now it is everybody's business
a brand is a promise, a perspective, a uniqueness that differentiates you from the rest of the pack
Facebook, LinkedIn - write, compose, paint, draw, post!
You are what you do and think and write
Just as companies have brands you have a brand
Need to always be thinking of your own brand
Analyze your brand and think about how you would create a TV or print ad for your skills and unique value prop
I broke into the jingle business – 3x5 cards in a box written in pencil
Critically important in a global integrated economy
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Plaxo, Xing,
ACT, Google docs, other contact mgmt tools
Note cards, yellow pads, whatever works
Don’t get hung up on the tools – they will change. Learn and master the process.
Who is in your network and why?
Constantly build it
