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.

Census records that have military service
information:
• 1930 Census asked if a person was a U.S. veteran
who had served in any of the following wars: Civil War,
Spanish-American, Philippine Insurrection, Boxer,
Mexican Expedition, and World War I.
• 1910 asked if they were a veteran of the Civil War
• 1890 Census had special schedules that listed Union
Civil War veterans or their surviving spouses.
• 1840 Census lists Revolutionary War pensioners, or
their widows, on the second page.
5. Types of records & where to
find them…
There are two main categories of
military records on an individual:
• Military Service Records
and
• Pension and Bounty Land Records.
6. Military Service Records…
Are the day-to-day records of a soldier’s
service.
They include enlistment papers, military
rosters, draft records, payrolls, and hospital
rolls.
They rarely contain a lot of family
information, but do include vital information
about the soldier, including a description.
Access to recent military service records are
restricted for privacy reasons and are only
available to the member or next of kin.
7. Military Service Records
Enlistment papers record the soldier’s name, age, marital
status and the date and place of enlistment. The soldier’s
name then goes on a muster roll (attendance sheet) for the
organization that he/she joined.
Draft, conscription or Selective Service records The federal
government has been registering men for military service since
1863. Draft registration cards list name, residence, age,
occupation, marital status, birthplace, and physical description.
Discharge papers are not part of the military service records
that the federal government maintains, but they do contain a lot
of valuable information. Discharge papers, for service from
1865 to the present, include duty assignments (locations),
training, any discipline or commendations received and date
and location of discharge. Discharge papers are usually found
with family members. Copies of veteran’s discharge records
can sometimes be found in the County Recorder’s Office, but
only if the veteran filed a copy.

Other service records that may exist are pay rolls,
order books, hospital records, prisoner of war
records, promotions, desertion records and records
of court martial.
State Records would cover service in state militias,

are usually held by state archives, historical societies
or by the state adjutant general.

Records, continued…
Requests for information about veterans should be
submitted using Standard Form 180 to the following
address:
National Personnel Records Center (MPR)

living, you will need an authorization signature from them
to obtain their records. Turnaround time is 14-16 weeks.
Due to Federal Law, all requests must be submitted in

17. Pension records and bounty
land records
These records focus on the benefits that a
soldier receives after his/her service. They
often contain a great deal of family
information, including names of spouses and
children, places of residence, occupation,
and health status.
If the service was for the Confederacy or for
a state militia, the records will be held at the
state level, not by the federal government.
18. Pension records
Pensions and bounty lands were granted to officers,
disabled veterans, needy veterans, widows or orphans
and veterans for major military actions.
But not every veteran applied for or received bounty lands
or pensions. Prior to the Civil War, the veteran had to
prove financial need to receive a pension.
Most veterans who served in the Union forces during the
Civil War did receive some kind of pension.
Pension records can include the soldier’s name, his rank
and military unit, his wife’s name, date and location of the
marriage, residence, age, children, occupation, health
status and date and place of death.
20. Bounty Land Warrants
Land warrants were offered for service in the
Revolutionary War, War of 1812, the Mexican
War and Indian Wars between 1790 and 1855.
Bounty land could be claimed by the veteran or
by his heirs.
Often, the veteran never lived on the land, but
sold it for profit.
Bounty land warrants and applications for the
Revolutionary War and War of 1812 have been
microfilmed.
