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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

2. • Statistics is the science of data collection,
organising and interpreting numerical facts.
• Gaining information from numerical data or
making sense of data.
• Descriptive Statistics
– Organising and summarising data – condense large
volumes of data into a few summary measures.
• Statistical inference
– Generalises subset data findings to the broader
universe.

5. • Basic concepts of Statistics
– Parameter
• Computed from the universe.
– Statistic
• Computed from the subset taken from the universe.
– Variable
• Characteristic of the item being observed or measured.
– Data
• Collection of observations on one or more variable.
5
6. • Basic concepts of Statistics
– Population
• Entire group we want information about.
– Sample
• The proportion of the population we actually examine.
• Representative and not biased.
• Random sampling.
6
7. • Basic concepts of Statistics
– Census
• Investigate the whole population
• Expensive
• Time consuming
• Sections of population is inaccessible
• Units are destroyed
• Inaccurate
7
8. • Sampling methods
– Probability sampling
• Each element has a known probability of being
selected as part of sample.
• Unbiased inference about the population.
– Non-probability sampling
• Element from the population are not selected
random.
• The elements are selected without knowing the
probability of being selected as part of sample.
• We can not use results of these samples to make
conclusions about the population.
8
9. • Sampling methods – Probability sampling
– Simple random sampling
• Number the elements of the population from
1 to N.
• Select a random starting point in the random table.
• From the starting point read systematically in any
direction.
• Divide the digits in the random table into groups
with the same number of digits as the number of
digits in the population size (N).
• Find n random numbers from 1 to N – no
duplicates.
• Identify each of the chosen random numbers in the
population. 9
10. • Sampling methods – Probability sampling
– Stratified random sampling
• Population heterogeneous with respect to the variable
under study.
• Population divided into N = N1 + N2 + ….. + Nk
homogeneous sub-
populations called strata. (k = number of stratum)
• Sample size form each n = n1 + n2 + ….. + nk
sample proportional to
(k = number of stratum)
stratum size.
• Draw a simple random sample N
from each of the stratum. n

11. • Sampling methods – Non-probability sampling
– Convenience sampling
• Not representative of the target population.
• Items being selected because they are easy to find,
inexpensive and self selected.
11
12. • Sampling methods – Non-probability sampling
– Quota sampling
• Population divided into sub-classes according to a
certain characteristic.
• A non-sampling method is used to select a sample
from each stratum.
• It is a technique of convenience.
• Researcher attempts to fill the quota quickly.
• Sample is not representative of the population.
12
13. • Sampling methods – Non-probability sampling
– Judgement sampling
• Elements from the population are chosen by the
judgement of the researcher.
• The probability that an element will be chosen cannot
be calculated.
• Sample is biased.
13
14. • Sampling methods – Non-probability sampling
– Snowball sampling
• Is used where sampling units are difficult to locate
and identify.
• Find a person who fits the profile of characteristics
of the study.
• From this person obtain names and locations of
others who will fit the profile.

• What data was collected?
• What sampling method was used?
• Sample size?
• Chance of bias?
• Is data relevant to the problem at hand?

• Be specific and address only one issue.
• Carefully word sensitive issues.
• Not require calculations or a study to be answered.
– Types of questions:
• Closed
• Open

– Reasonably short.
– Enough space to complete questions.
– Mother-tongue language.
– Interesting questions first.
– Simple questions first, controversial questions later.
– Complete one topic before starting the next.
– Important information first. 20
21. • Interview
– Fieldworker completed questionnaire
• Higher response rate and data collection is immediate.
– Mailed questionnaires
• When population is large or dispersed.
• Low response rate.
• Time consuming.
– Telephone interview
• Lower costs.
• Quicker contact with geographically dispersed
respondents. 21
22. • Editing the data
– Obvious errors should be eliminated.
– Eliminate questionnaires that are incomplete
and unreliable.
– Questionnaires should be pre-tested on a small
group of people.
