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.

INTRODUCTION
I wrote Little Brother in a whitehot fury between May 7, 2007
and July 2, 2007: exactly eight weeks from the day I thought it up
to the day I finished it (Alice, to whom this book is dedicated, had
to put up with me clacking out the final chapter at 5AM in our
hotel in Rome, where we were celebrating our anniversary). I'd
always dreamed of having a book just materialize, fully formed,
and come pouring out of my fingertips, no sweat and fuss but it
wasn't nearly as much fun as I'd thought it would be. There were
days when I wrote 10,000 words, hunching over my keyboard in
airports, on subways, in taxis anywhere I could type. The book
was trying to get out of my head, no matter what, and I missed so
much sleep and so many meals that friends started to ask if I was
unwell.
When my dad was a young university student in the 1960s, he
was one of the few "counterculture" people who thought
computers were a good thing. For most young people, computers
represented the dehumanization of society. University students
were reduced to numbers on a punchcard, each bearing the legend
"DO NOT BEND, SPINDLE, FOLD OR MUTILATE,"
prompting some of the students to wear pins that said, "I AM A
STUDENT: DO NOT BEND, SPINDLE, FOLD OR MUTILATE
ME." Computers were seen as a means to increase the ability of
the authorities to regiment people and bend them to their will.
When I was a 17, the world seemed like it was just going to get
more free. The Berlin Wall was about to come down. Computers
which had been geeky and weird a few years before were
everywhere, and the modem I'd used to connect to local bulletin
board systems was now connecting me to the entire world through
the Internet and commercial online services like GEnie. My
lifelong fascination with activist causes went into overdrive as I
saw how the main difficulty in activism organizing was
getting easier by leaps and bounds (I still remember the first time
I switched from mailing out a newsletter with handwritten
addresses to using a database with mailmerge). In the Soviet
Union, communications tools were being used to bring
information and revolution to the farthestflung corners of
the largest authoritarian state the Earth had ever seen.
But 17 years later, things are very different. The computers I
love are being coopted, used to spy on us, control us, snitch on
us. The National Security Agency has illegally wiretapped the
entire USA and gotten away with it. Car rental companies and
mass transit and traffic authorities are watching where we go,
sending us automated tickets, finking us out to busybodies, cops
and bad guys who gain illicit access to their databases. The
Transport Security Administration maintains a "nofly" list of
people who'd never been convicted of any crime, but who are

That's Harajuku Fun Madness, and once you've solved a puzzle

> No man, just no. NO. Don't even ask.
> I need you D. You're the best I've got.
I swear I'll get us in and out without
anyone knowing it. You know I can do
that, right?
> I know you can do it
> So you're in?
> Hell no
> Come on, Darryl. You're not going to
your deathbed wishing you'd spent more
study periods sitting in school
> I'm not going to go to my deathbed
wishing I'd spent more time playing
ARGs either
> Yeah but don't you think you might go
to your death-bed wishing you'd spent
more time with Vanessa Pak?
Van was part of my team. She went to a private girl's school in
the East Bay, but I knew she'd ditch to come out and run the
mission with me. Darryl has had a crush on her literally for years
-- even before puberty endowed her with many lavish gifts.
Darryl had fallen in love with her mind. Sad, really.
> You suck
> You're coming?
He looked at me and shook his head. Then he nodded. I winked
at him and set to work getting in touch with the rest of my team.

I wasn't always into ARGing. I have a dark secret: I used to be a
LARPer. LARPing is Live Action Role Playing, and it's just about
what it sounds like: running around in costume, talking in a funny
accent, pretending to be a superspy or a vampire or a medieval
knight. It's like Capture the Flag in monsterdrag, with a bit of
Drama Club thrown in, and the best games were the ones we
played in Scout Camps out of town in Sonoma or down on the
Peninsula. Those threeday epics could get pretty hairy, with all
day hikes, epic battles with foamandbamboo swords, casting
spells by throwing beanbags and shouting "Fireball!" and so on.
Good fun, if a little goofy. Not nearly as geeky as talking about
what your elf planned on doing as you sat around a table loaded
with Diet Coke cans and painted miniatures, and more physically
active than going into a mousecoma in front of a massively
multiplayer game at home.
The thing that got me into trouble were the minigames in the
hotels. Whenever a science fiction convention came to town, some
LARPer would convince them to let us run a couple of sixhour
minigames at the con, piggybacking on their rental of the space.
Having a bunch of enthusiastic kids running around in costume
lent color to the event, and we got to have a ball among people
even more socially deviant than us.
The problem with hotels is that they have a lot of nongamers in
them, too and not just scifi people. Normal people. From states
that begin and end with vowels. On holidays.
And sometimes those people misunderstand the nature of a
game.
Let's just leave it at that, OK?
#
Class ended in ten minutes, and that didn't leave me with much
time to prepare. The first order of business were those pesky gait
recognition cameras. Like I said, they'd started out as face
recognition cameras, but those had been ruled unconstitutional.
As far as I know, no court has yet determined whether these gait
cams are any more legal, but until they do, we're stuck with them.
"Gait" is a fancy word for the way you walk. People are pretty
good at spotting gaits next time you're on a camping trip, check
out the bobbing of the flashlight as a distant friend approaches
you. Chances are you can identify him just from the movement of
the light, the characteristic way it bobs up and down that tells our
monkey brains that this is a person approaching us.
Gait recognition software takes pictures of your motion, tries to
isolate you in the pics as a silhouette, and then tries to match the
silhouette to a database to see if it knows who you are. It's a
biometric identifier, like fingerprints or retinascans, but it's got a
lot more "collisions" than either of those. A biometric "collision"
is when a measurement matches more than one person. Only you
have your fingerprint, but you share your gait with plenty other
people.
Not exactly, of course. Your personal, inchbyinch walk is
yours and yours alone. The problem is your inchbyinch walk
