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.

approaches with similar or different theories and methodologies, which are of regional
significance.
• After independence, in 1951, planning commission took birth. Much later, in 1995, a different
department called Department of Indian System of Medicine and Homoeopathy (ISM&H) was
molded. The acronym, AYUSH, which stands for Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani,
Siddha, and Homoeopathy was the new name of ISM&H in 2003 as a detached Department
under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.
• Due to mastery of current pharmaceuticals notwithstanding open confidence and trust, Indian
traditional medicines are in inimical hindrances. A need has developed to join the entire whole
traditional medicinal system and systematize it with an extremely strong optimistic approach in
spreading our own medical tradition is the need of great importance.
• Consequently, phytochemical and biochemical research with a continuous endeavor for the
revival and spreading of Indian medical inheritance for the welfare of the society at large is
needed.
