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.
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.

News Values
● Broad categories of terms determine whether a story is
news or not.
● The number varies but under a broad conceptualization,
there are 10 values that determine, either alone or in
connection with other values, that whether a story is
news or not.
6. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● If any one of these elements is present, a story has
news value. However, many stories contain more than
one element.
● The top concern should be to develop an understanding
of what constitutes an interesting news story.
7. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● If it is interesting to you, chances are that it is interesting
to others.
● Please note: As Dr. Pinker states, complexity often gets
in the way of clarity of language.
● The same happens in developing ideas for stories.
8. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● A story that has just happened is news; one that
happened a few days ago is history. Immediacy is
timeliness.
● Few events of major significance can stand up as news
if they fail to meet the test of timeliness; however, an
event that occurred some time ago may still be timely if
it has just been revealed.
9. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● Readers are interested in what happens close to them.
● Proximity is the nearness of an event to the readers or
listeners and how closely it touches their lives.
● People are interested mainly in themselves, their
families, their friends, and their hometowns.
10. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● News of change or news that affects human relations is
news of consequence.
● The more people affected, the greater the news value.
11. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● Sporting events, wars and revolutions are the most
common examples of conflict in the news.
● People may be pitted against people, team against
team, nation against nation or humans against the
natural elements.
12. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● The unusual or strange event will help lift a story out of
the ordinary. If an ordinary pilot parachuted out of an
ordinary plane with an ordinary parachute and makes
an ordinary landing, there is no real news value.
● It is news if the aviator has only one leg; or if the
parachute fails to open and the pilot lands safely.
13. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● Sometimes sex is the biggest single element in news, or
at least it appears to be the element that attracts
readers the most.
● Consider all the stories in papers that involve men and
women—sports, financial news, society and crime. It
concerns is only if the person is a public figure.
14. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● The emotional element, sometimes called the
human-interest element, covers all the feelings that
human beings have, including happiness, sadness, anger,
sympathy, ambition, hate, love, envy, generosity and
humor.
- Emotion is comedy; emotion is tragedy; it is the
interest we have in each other.
15. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● Prominence is a one-word way of saying “names make
news.” When a person is prominent, like the President
of the United States, almost anything he does is
newsworthy—even his church attendance.
16. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● The suspense element is increasingly present in our
social media and cable television consumption.
● It is a day-by-day or hour-by-hour account of some
high-visibility event that is often available online.
17. JRN 260 – News Writing
News Values
● In a technologically advanced society, we are
interested in gadgets, medicine and stuff that allegedly
makes life better. It is known as progress.
● Anything new in a technological sense is progress.
18. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● How do you identify a subject for a long-form or small-
scale piece of reporting?
● How do you know if long-form is the appropriate genre
for the information or whether a blurb will do?
● How do you know what is appropriate?
19. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● Here are checklists of tactics designed to facilitate
decisions on what to pursue in terms of subject and how
to pursue it in terms of writing.
20. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● First, understand that stories are all around us.
● The reason people like stories because they often see
their lives in terms of the classic narrative arc identified
by Aristotle in Poetics.
21. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● In journalism, stories are written not for dramatic
emphasis, though, but for information.
● The most important information is listed first, followed
by amplification and secondary information along an
arc.
● We call this Who/What/When/Where/How/Why.
22. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● That’s the first checklist.
● Does the story have a compelling narrative arc that can
be clearly identified?
● In short, is it a story worth reading?
23. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● "The idea is everything. If the idea is crappy, the story is
mediocre at best. The idea has to have some action.
There’s got to be something at stake. Most people try to
do too much. If you don’t narrow it down, it’s hard to go
deep enough to show how they’re changing over time.”
— Kelley Benham French
24. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● One of the great factual writers of the past 60 years is
John McPhee.
● When he started writing, he simply asked friends for
ideas on things to write about.
25. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● "When I was starting out, I said to friends, I’m looking
for ideas. And a high-school friend named Bob
VanDeventer said, Why don’t you write about the Pine
Barrens? And I said, The what? I was born and raised
in New Jersey, but I’d never heard of them …
26. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● "So VanDeventer starts telling me about the pines, and
how there were holes in the ground that had no bottom.
And that the people who lived there were odd, to put it
mildly. He had a whole lot of things that he had learned
somewhere about the Pine Barrens, and with respect
for my good friend Bob, all of these things were wrong
…
27. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● “But what he did was light the spark. It was in New
Jersey, and it related to the woods, two things that I was
interested in.”
28. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● McPhee said there are “zillions of ideas out there—they
stream by like neutrons.”
29. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● But where to begin?
● Start with what’s known as a small-scale narrative.
● That’s a story between 500 and 1,000 words, tops.
● But it holds an entire universe in that format.
30. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● A long-form story requires deeper, more expansive
reporting.
● Think of it as novel versus the shorter small-scale
narrative form.
31. JRN 260 – News Writing
Checklist
● Whether long-form of small-scale, deeply reported and
observed stories require a reporting process that can be
outlined by a checklist.

36. JRN 260 – News Writing

subject.

- Write first – always. (Miller)
- Create a new checklist of verification.
