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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

A Night of Murderball

On September 16, a spirited group of nearly 30
IUP students, alumni and friends attended the gold
and bronze medal wheelchair rugby matches of the
2008 Beijing Paralympic Games. Having already Qie zi!: Enthused group of compatriots pose in front of gymnasium
watched Murderball, an award-winning 2005
documentary on Team USA’s participation in the
Athens Paralympic wheelchair rugby finals, the IUP
crew arrived at Beijing Science & Technology
University’s gymnasium well-prepared for the
combination of grace and brutality that defines the
sport. Neither the games nor the atmosphere
disappointed, as the furious pace of the contest was
matched only by the raucousness of the crowd. IUP’ers
more than did their part to cheer on the athletes,

Thankfully, America did not let down the many
supporters they had in attendance, taking home the Adding Oil: Bobby O’Brien, Ben Roth, Alex Wald, Jared
