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.

Are representations ever realistic?
Representations are rarely realistic; the media portrays places and situations
differently which can be used to tell some sort of story in the way the media chooses
to portray it.
What sort of things can influence the representations that we see?
Different media companies can give different opinions and views
Politics and modern society and even celebrity gossip
Audience that different media target
3. BTEC ExtendedDiplomainCreativeMediaProduction
Find an example of representation and explain what you are seeing:
The media in this article are trying to make immigration look bad after the attacks in
Paris. This is due to quotes from MP’s who are criticising them with one MP saying to
make sure they are genuine asylum seekers and not terrorists.
How many categories of word do Ofcom have? Explain each one.
(You can explain the different types of category. You are not required to provide
specific words.)
3 categories, category A is when certain word like swearing for example are not to be
shown before nine o’clock only after. Category B is when certain words are generally
not to be used before nine o’clock but with the exception that there is context behind
it. The other category B is similar the other but it allows pre 9pm shown of words but
restrictions still apply.
4. BTEC ExtendedDiplomainCreativeMediaProduction
Why does Ofcom have this list of words? Do you think there should be
restrictions on when certain words can be used?
These categories are around because they stop people under the age who might not
already know what the word means from using offensive language against others.
Why does the NUJ produce language guidelines?
The guidelines are used to prevent use of words that can be found offensive and have
a different meaning to what they are actually meant for. This will protect people from
abusing this language against others.
Should we protect groups of people by putting in place guidelines on how we
talk about them?
This article explains how a psychiatric patient was released from a mental institute
rather than being discharged which would be the correct way of describing this,
because the terminology used here sounds like this is describing prison rather than
hospital.
There are 3 ways in which a broadcaster can make it easier for people with a
disability to access its programmes. What are they?

requirements?
(You can add detail to this response by finding a case study where a broadcaster has
been punished.)
The organisation that organises this is OFCOM, if OFCOM find that programmes are
not following the suitability then they can get fined.
5. BTEC ExtendedDiplomainCreativeMediaProduction
Why do we have codes of practice?
(You can support this answer by referencing specific codes of practice. You could go
further still by referencing specific cases)
Most large media companies will have codes of practice, BBC have guidelines that the
producers cover and meet to make sure everything is alright and does not offend
anyone. This allows content to be produced that everyone can watch without being
offended.
Use one code of practice and investigate it in detail:
The IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation) this organisation covers
subjects such as harassment and the privacy of someone. If someone does not like
someone’s behaviour they can complain to the IPSO who will then sort out the issue
first hand. They have a list of people who have complained, this also explains why
they have complained and how they have dealt with this problem to provide an
outcome.

Should we have an Official Secrets Act?
(This question allows you use your own opinion and judgement. You can use further

Yes because it would allow us to control the secrets that come out of journalists work,
they might have some information on something which could potentially damage the
nation.
