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.

2. DRAMA SUMMARY
On a dark winter night, a ghost walks the ramparts of Elsinore
Castle in Denmark. Discovered first by a pair of watchmen,
then by the scholar Horatio, the ghost resembles the recently
deceased King Hamlet, whose brother Claudius has inherited
the throne and married the king’s widow, Queen Gertrude.
When Horatio and the watchmen bring Prince Hamlet, the
son of Gertrude and the dead king, to see the ghost, it speaks
to him, declaring ominously that it is indeed his father’s spirit,
and that he was murdered by none other than Claudius.
Ordering Hamlet to seek revenge on the man who usurped
his throne and married his wife, the ghost disappears with the
dawn.
3. Prince Hamlet devotes himself to avenging his father’s death, but,
because he is contemplative and thoughtful by nature, he delays,
entering into a deep melancholy and even apparent madness.
Claudius and Gertrude worry about the prince’s erratic behavior
and attempt to discover its cause. They employ a pair of Hamlet’s
friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to watch him. When
Polonius, the pompous Lord Chamberlain, suggests that Hamlet
may be mad with love for his daughter, Ophelia, Claudius agrees to
spy on Hamlet in conversation with the girl. But though Hamlet
certainly seems mad, he does not seem to love Ophelia: he orders
her to enter a nunnery and declares that he wishes to ban
marriages.
4. A group of traveling actors comes to Elsinore, and Hamlet seizes upon an
idea to test his uncle’s guilt. He will have the players perform a scene
closely resembling the sequence by which Hamlet imagines his uncle to
have murdered his father, so that if Claudius is guilty, he will surely react.
When the moment of the murder arrives in the theater, Claudius leaps
up and leaves the room. Hamlet and Horatio agree that this proves his
guilt. Hamlet goes to kill Claudius but finds him praying. Since he
believes that killing Claudius while in prayer would send Claudius’s soul
to heaven, Hamlet considers that it would be an inadequate revenge and
decides to wait. Claudius, now frightened of Hamlet’s madness and
fearing for his own safety, orders that Hamlet be sent to England at
once.
5. Hamlet goes to confront his mother, in whose bedchamber
Polonius has hidden behind a tapestry. Hearing a noise from
behind the tapestry, Hamlet believes the king is hiding there.
He draws his sword and stabs through the fabric, killing
Polonius. For this crime, he is immediately dispatched to
England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. However,
Claudius’s plan for Hamlet includes more than banishment,
as he has given Rosencrantz and Guildenstern sealed orders
for the King of England demanding that Hamlet be put to
death.
6. In the aftermath of her father’s death, Ophelia goes mad with grief and drowns in the
river. Polonius’s son, Laertes, who has been staying in France, returns to Denmark in a
rage. Claudius convinces him that Hamlet is to blame for his father’s and sister’s deaths.
When Horatio and the king receive letters from Hamlet indicating that the prince has
returned to Denmark after pirates attacked his ship en route to England, Claudius
concocts a plan to use Laertes’ desire for revenge to secure Hamlet’s death. Laertes will
fence with Hamlet in innocent sport, but Claudius will poison Laertes’ blade so that if he
draws blood, Hamlet will die. As a backup plan, the king decides to poison a goblet,
which he will give Hamlet to drink should Hamlet score the first or second hits of the
match. Hamlet returns to the vicinity of Elsinore just as Ophelia’s funeral is taking place.
Stricken with grief, he attacks Laertes and declares that he had in fact always loved
Ophelia. Back at the castle, he tells Horatio that he believes one must be prepared to die,
since death can come at any moment. A foolish courtier named Osric arrives on
Claudius’s orders to arrange the fencing match between Hamlet and Laertes.
7. The sword-fighting begins. Hamlet scores the first hit, but
declines to drink from the king’s proffered goblet. Instead,
Gertrude takes a drink from it and is swiftly killed by the
poison. Laertes succeeds in wounding Hamlet, though Hamlet
does not die of the poison immediately. First, Laertes is cut by
his own sword’s blade, and, after revealing to Hamlet that
Claudius is responsible for the queen’s death, he dies from the
blade’s poison. Hamlet then stabs Claudius through with the
poisoned sword and forces him to drink down the rest of the
poisoned wine. Claudius dies, and Hamlet dies immediately
after achieving his revenge.
8. At this moment, a Norwegian prince named Fortinbras, who has
led an army to Denmark and attacked Poland earlier in the play,
enters with ambassadors from England, who report that
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. Fortinbras is stunned
by the gruesome sight of the entire royal family lying sprawled
on the floor dead. He moves to take power of the kingdom.
Horatio, fulfilling Hamlet’s last request, tells him Hamlet’s tragic
story. Fortinbras orders that Hamlet be carried away in a
manner befitting a fallen soldier.
9. THE DRAMA SETTING
“Elsinore” is the English spelling of Helsingør, a town on the eastern coast of Denmark. In
Shakespeare’s lifetime, Helsingør was an important military location, the stronghold from
which the King of Denmark controlled a narrow stretch of sea. A fortress had stood in the
town since the middle ages, and between 1574 and 1585 Frederick II of Denmark rebuilt
the fortress as a magnificent castle. Will Kemp, a member of Shakespeare’s acting
company, probably visited the castle at Helsingør to perform for Frederick, who was an
enthusiastic patron of theatre, so Shakespeare likely knew where the town was and what
its castle was like. The threat of invasion from neighboring countries is essential to the
plot of Hamlet, which ends with the Norwegian prince Fortinbras storming the castle. The
threat of invasion also contributes to Hamlet’s mood of anxious uncertainty.
10. Frederick II’s castle was the largest of its kind in Renaissance Europe. The castle made
Helsingør famous as a cultural center, and Hamlet’s Elsinore is also a cultural center.
Just like Frederick, Claudius is visited by travelling actors. Hamlet and his friend
Horatio have come to Elsinore from Wittenberg, Europe’s leading university. Laertes is
visiting from France, and we learn that another Frenchman, Lamord, has recently
visited Elsinore. Claudius receives tribute from the ruler of England and exchanges
diplomatic messages with the King of Norway. Accordingly, Hamlet’s story is not just
about the strange customs of an isolated backwater. On the contrary, Hamlet is about
the central problems of Renaissance thought: philosophical uncertainty, the anxiety of
damnation, and the difficulty of knowing how to act morally. Hamlet is a sophisticated,
modern intellectual. He is familiar with the latest ideas from all over Europe. His
philosophical doubts express the profound uncertainties which lay at the heart of
European culture when Shakespeare was writing.
11. SYMBOLS OF THE DRAMA
Yorick’s Skull
In Hamlet, physical objects are rarely used to represent thematic ideas. One important
exception is Yorick’s skull, which Hamlet discovers in the graveyard in the first scene of Act V.
As Hamlet speaks to the skull and about the skull of the king’s former jester, he fixates on
death’s inevitability and the disintegration of the body. He urges the skull to “get you to my
lady’s chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favor she must come”—no one
can avoid death (V.i.178–179). He traces the skull’s mouth and says, “Here hung those lips
that I have kissed I know not how oft,” indicating his fascination with the physical
consequences of death (V.i.174–175). This latter idea is an important motif throughout the
play, as Hamlet frequently makes comments referring to every human body’s eventual decay,
noting that Polonius will be eaten by worms, that even kings are eaten by worms, and that
dust from the decayed body of Alexander the Great might be used to stop a hole in a beer
barrel.
12. Ophelia’s Flowers
When Ophelia begins to act mad in Act IV scene v, she gives flowers to Claudius, Gertrude, Laertes, and
keeps some for herself. She names each flower as she hands it out and makes it clear they have specific
significance. She gives Laertes rosemary and pansies for “remembrance” and “thoughts,” respectively.
Ophelia does not state the significance behind the rest of her flowers, but they would have had cultural
connotations attached to them. Gertrude receives fennel and columbines to represent her adultery.
Ophelia gives Claudius and herself rue for bitterness and repentance. She also gives Claudius a daisy for
innocence and love, showing her innocence is no longer with her, and neither is Hamlet. Finally, she says
she would have brought violets, but they all wilted when her father died. Violets could represent
faithfulness, meaning she suggests the faith or goodness of Denmark was corrupted with Polonius’s
murder. Conversely, violets could indicate her own virtue and modesty, implying that with Polonius’s death,
Ophelia has lost all adherence to the social norms of her day. Although Ophelia is perceived to be insane by
the other characters, her particular choices of flowers give accurate and stinging reproaches to each of
them, indicating she may not be as mad as she seems.
