A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

L.1 The Man Who Fought Windmills - Miguel De Cervantes
- 1. Lesson - 1 The Man Who Fought Windmills
- 2. BACKGROUND ● Cervantes was a Spanish author who lived in the late 1500s. ● Cervantes was in the Spanish Army when he was young. ● Cervantes led a very adventurous life and had a lot of weird experiences like getting thrown into a Turkish prison. ● This book was written to make fun of the popular novels about chivalry by turning the character into a funny old crazy knight. ● The "hero" in this book was a crazy fellow who lost all of his fantasy battles.
- 4. Main Characters ● Don Quixote: Alonso Quixano is a sweet old man who is absolutely nuts. He reads books about knights and starts believing he is a knight called Don Quixote de La Mancha. Alonso is his real name, Don Quixote is his fantasy name. .
- 5. ● Sancho Panza: Sancho is a country hick. He is a short fat little man who rides a donkey. He goes along with Don Quixote (Alonso) as his squire. He knows Quixote is crazy but he agrees to serve him because he thinks he’ll get money from the crazy old man.
- 6. PLOT ● Alonso Quixano is a middle-aged crazy man. He reads a lot of stories of brave knights and gets so enamored that he seeks out his own adventures. ● He changes his name to Don Quixote, puts on some old armour, and goes out to find adventure. ● Then Don Quixote finds a poor peasant (Sancho Panza) to be his squire on his adventure. ● They go out and get in all sorts of trouble. ● Don Quixote mistakes windmills for big giants and tries to fight them.
- 7. Summary ● A long time ago, Don Quixote lived in a castle in Spain. He wanted to be a hero and wanted to help people in danger. ● He decided to dress up in his great grandfather’s rusty armour and went out in search of adventure. ● He mounted on his old horse named Rocinante. Then, he met Sancho Panza, who was a fat little peasant. He got on his donkey and became his squire. ● They left together in the middle of the night. They travelled for a bit.
- 8. ● Don Quixote got to see windmills. Because he was crazy, he thought they were big giants. Sancho was normal though but he was confused because Don thought they were giants. ● Don tried to attack one of the windmills with his sword. But the fan of the windmill caught his sword and threw Don from his horse. ● After this, Don thought that the giants changed themselves into windmills by some magical trick. ● Sancho couldn’t stop laughing. In the end, Don said, “I am not giving up! I am a knight and someday I’ll be a hero!”
