Introduction to AI for Nonprofits with Tapp NetworkTechSoup
Dive into the world of AI! Experts Jon Hill and Tareq Monaur will guide you through AI's role in enhancing nonprofit websites and basic marketing strategies, making it easy to understand and apply.
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.

55. Request meeting with BOA2. The Board of Education and the Association agree that it is not appropriate that members of the bargaining unit be required to work under unsafe, unclean or unhealthy conditions or to perform duties that endanger their safety or health. The Board of Education agrees that teachers may reasonably expect (a) clean classrooms; (b) space to store supplies, (c) adequately equipped and supplied work areas; and (d) well-lighted and clean restrooms. In the event that a member of the bargaining unit submits a work order to the Maintenance Department of the school district pertaining to unsatisfactory working conditions, it is reasonable for that request to receive a timely (two weeks) written response from the aforementioned head of the maintenance department as to the status of the work order. Should a teacher or the Association believe that these expectations are not being met in a specific situation, he/she/it shall bring this situation to the attention of the Superintendent, who shall cause the situation to be investigated and respond within seven school days. Should the Association be dissatisfied with the response of the Superintendent, it may request a meeting with the Board (or a committee designed by the Board for that purpose), which shall meet with the Association to review the matter and respond. The decision of the Board or committee shall be final. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this agreement shall not be interpreted to prohibit a teacher or the Association from reporting concerns in good faith to appropriate governmental agencies.
