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.

3. Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)
Forms of treatment that are used in addition to (complementary) or
instead of (alternative) standard treatments (conventional medicine).
Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. An
example of an alternative therapy is using a special diet to treat cancer
instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has
been recommended by a conventional doctor.
Complementary medicine is used together with conventional
medicine. An example of a complementary therapy is using
aromatherapy to relieve patient's discomfort following surgery.

6. Herbal Medicine
Phytomedicine or herbalism is a type of complementary and
alternative medicine (CAM) that uses plants or their crude
products for the treatment of diseases. It may include also animal,
fungi or bacteria products (≠ conventional medicine, which uses
pure chemicals regardless of their origin, natural or synthetic).
8. Phytotherapy
The branch of herbal medicine that describes the potentials and
limitations of herbal drugs in the treatment of human diseases and
should be practiced by physicians trained in herbalism.
Herbal Drugs: (Phyto-pharmaceuticals =
Herbal medicines)
They are products containing exclusively plant
material (comminuted or powdered vegetable
drugs) or vegetable drug preparations
(extracts, tinctures, fatty or essential oils,
expressed plant juices, etc….) used for
treatment of disease (usually chronic) or to
maintain a condition of improved health.
They don’t include defined isolated
constituents or their mixtures
9. Examples of Complementary and Alternative
Medicine (CAM)
1- Acupuncture
2- Cupping
3- Hydrotherapy
4- Aromatherapy
5- Ayurveda
10. Involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic
points on your body. It is being used for overall wellness, including stress
management. Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a
technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force
Examples of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
(CAM) Cont.
1- Acupuncture
11. Cupping therapy is done with animal horns, glass, bamboo, porcelain,
silicone or plastic cups. People get it for many purposes, including to
help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being,
and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Examples of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
(CAM) Cont.
2- Vacuum cups (Cupping)
12. The use of water in the treatment of different conditions, including
arthritis and related rheumatic complaints. It involves special
exercises that you do in a warm-water pool. The water temperature
is usually 33–36°C.
Examples of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
(CAM) Cont.
3- Hydrotherapy
4- Aromatherapy
It is a branch of complementary and alternative medicine that depends
on treatment through stimulation of the sense of smell. It uses of
essential oils from plants in the form of:
- Aroma bath
- Aroma candle
- Body massage
13. The term “Ayurveda” combines the words ayur (life) and veda (science
or knowledge).
System of medicine with historical roots in Indian subcontinent.
Its concepts about health and disease promote the use of herbal
compounds, special diets, and other unique health practices.
Examples of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
(CAM) Cont.
5- Ayurveda
14. Characteristics of Herbal Drugs
1-The pharmacologically active compounds in herbal drugs are present in
lower concentrations than the conventional tablets and capsules. This fact
generally means that risks associated with crude herbal drugs are minimal
with moderate use. Many herbal drugs have been safely used for centuries.
2-They contain a wide variety of different compounds, some
pharmacologically active (2ry metabolites) and some not ( such as cellulose,
starches and sugars).
3-Herbs contain mixture of components that may have synergistic or
antagonistic effects e.g. Rhubarb (anthraquinone & tannin).
4-Plants may also contain active and toxic compounds such as pyrrolizidine
alkaloids which are converted in the liver into hepatotoxic and carcinogenic
metabolites.
5- Herbal medicines are less expensive i.e. cheaper than conventional
medicines.
15. Rare as they are generally safe except minor allergic reactions They can
arise from:
1- Mislabeling
Proper identification of the plant and labeling with common name and
Latin name prevent this
2- Intensive addition of unnatural synthetic substances.
Chemical analysis of some Chinese herbal remedies used for arthritis
proved that they contain some synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs such as
indomethacin and phenyl butazone. Thus the toxic manifestations
produced through the use of such products are due to synthetic additives
Side effects &/or toxic reactions to herbal medicines
16. 3- Natural toxic contaminants
Plant material used for herbal medicines may be contaminated with micro-
organisms or their by- products that can lead to serious adverse effects.
4- Natural toxic ingredients
Herbal drugs containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids have been used since long
times, but the first case reported about their hepatotoxicity appeared few
years ago.
Rauwolfia preparations that are used in the management of of
essential hypertension were found to promote breast cancer from
previously initiated cells.
Side effects &/or toxic reactions to herbal medicines (cont.)
17. A 52-year-old female presented to her general practitioner with a one-
week history of nausea, pruritus, and painless jaundice with associated
pale stools and dark urine. She rarely consumed alcohol, was a
nonsmoker, and had no prior history of liver disease and had normal
liver function tests three months before (bilirubin of 162 𝜇mol/L). she
was referred to the emergency department, at which point her bilirubin
peaked at 536 𝜇mol/L (progressive jaundice over the subsequent days)
Approximately one month prior to presentation she had commenced
one tablet per day of Ancient Wisdom Modern Medicine_ High
Potency Turmeric (375mg curcuminoids and 4mg black pepper per
tablet), along with a flaxseed oil supplement and occasional diclofenac
use for arthritic pain. There was no recent history of paracetamol use.
Upon admission, all oral medications and supplements were ceased.
Abdominal ultrasonography showed
Case Study of Turmeric Toxicity
18. She was discharged day 12 of admission (bilirubin 260𝜇mol/L, ALT
1232U/L) with the presumptive diagnosis of diclofenac induced liver
injury (according to Abdominal ultrasonography& a liver biopsy). By
two months bilirubin level had normalized (21𝜇mol/L) and she was
discharged from the clinic. At this point she recommenced the
turmeric supplement (1125mg curcuminoids per day) as sole therapy
for her arthritis. Three weeks later her nausea recurred and repeat liver
function tests showed an acute hepatitis (ALT 2093U/L, AST
1030U/L, and bilirubin 60𝜇mol/L). Repeat viral serology was
unremarkable. She was advised to cease the turmeric supplement, and
two months later her liver function tests had again normalized.
19. For most herbs, the specific ingredient that causes a therapeutic effect
is not known. Whole herbs contain many ingredients, and it is likely
that they work together to produce the desired medicinal effect.
Many factors determine how effective an herb will be. For example, the
type of environment (climate, bugs, soil quality) in which a plant grew
will affect its components, as will how and when it was harvested and
processed.
