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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Poster/Pages Edit - How did you attract/address your audience? - Question 5 Evaluation (Final)
1. How did you attract/address your audience?
With the use of my survey which I created on Survey Monkey I was able to
identify what my audience wanted in a new film. A question that I asked was
‘What is your favourite genre of movie?’ the results came through with Thriller
and Action/Adventure at a total of 7 responses each, another however
included Drama with 6 responses. This is the first key area and it allows me to
say that if incorporate those genres, even slightly, into my thriller film then it will
likely attract my audience to see it.
Another question that I asked in my survey was
‘What makes you enjoy watching movies’ and the
strongest answer was 85% of respondents
agreeing that the Storyline has to be strong in
order to achieve a good film, among high
responses too was actors, score and atmosphere
that the film creates. In order to attract my
audience I must therefore tailor actors and acting
toward them, which I did manage to achieve as
you can see with our teenage actor (Tom Seago)
but also create a good atmosphere with plenty of
tension in the thriller but also an effective Soundtrack. Our audience range is 16-24 and this is
helped by the fact that 73% of my respondents were within this bracket when answering my
survey, therefore it gave a fairly good view into what my target audience wants and thus this
showed how I was able to attract them. As mentioned before, the actor, Tom Seago (as seen to
the right), is a teenage Boy, much like the popular Sci-Fi Thriller, Donnie Darko and this
allowed for my target audience to see the protagonist as more relatable along with this, it was
one of my questions and 85% of respondents stated they preferred male lead actors in thrillers.
The score or soundtrack that we created had themes of Zombie films such as World War Z
and our inspiration cam from such songs on their soundtracks and this was because they are
often extremely effective at creating tension through the score and they often have a young
audience appeal bracket alike our thriller therefore even the small details could potentially
attract my target audience.
Another area which we used to attract our audience was the use of action elements in our
Thriller because as mentioned before, Action ranked joint first for my audience research with
Thriller and therefore it would seem clever to incorporate elements of Action into our thriller
and this can even be seen in our opening sequence where we took the idea of slow-motion
from Disconnect and used it when our character kicks the door open.
Overall, I feel that we have addressed our audiences fairly well from what I saw that my specific
audience has commented on, including most importantly that my character and protagonist is a
male of a relatable age, similar to that of Donnie Darko. The soundtrack works well to attract a wider
audience that would maybe be used to zombie themed horror films and also the incorporation of
action, again to capture a larger audience range, potentially expanding upon the 16-24 bracket too
with these.
2. Rough Edit Screening
During the screening of our rough edit at college, we asked all
those who were watching it to fill out our fairly simple questionnaire
just to help us improve on areas and understand what required
updating. You can see an example of a filled out questionnaire that
we handed out to those watching the opening to the right.
We included various generic questions to begin with asking about
their favourite genre but then we began to question areas that we
were not sure of, for example a question included was ‘Did you like
the black and white effect over our opening?’ this was because at
the time we were not sure wether to keep it or not and thus our
audience feedback on this question helped us decide to keep it as
all of our respondents stated that they liked the effect.
Another answer that we needed to find out from our audience is
wether they liked the soundtrack, and for the most part people did
enjoy it and thought it relevant toward the opening and so therefore
we decided to keep it as opposed to changing it, which we were
debating.
The last question (‘What could we improve on?...’ was where we listened and required feedback on and we received a lot
of helpful comments that improved our final edit because we listened to our audience and what they stated to improve
upon. For example the most helpful responses you can see below:
This response was helpful as it outlined what was required of
us in order to achieve a better opening. In order to outline the
first point that was written in the questionnaire, we decided to
shorten the time that the eye was in view to a quarter of a
second, also created more suspense and was more effective.
We also listened to the second comment and stopped the
opening when the door opened, leaving the suspense to the
watcher in order for them to continue to watching my thriller
film.
Type to enter text
Another useful response that we received was someone had
pointed out at the length of the opening titles and how small
and quick they passed on the opening, therefore we created
the final edit with both longer titles and also made them larger
on the screen and thus made it easier for the audience to read
the opening titles, therefore this shows how we listened and
amended due to our screening and questionnaire to improve
the final edit.
