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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. About the Author of WFB
• John Maxwell Coetzee, J.M.Coetzee
a South African novelist, critic, and
translator noted for his novels about
the effects of colonization. According to
Great Writers Inspire, every novel is
carefully structured, every sentence
carefully crafted, every word
carefully selected. All information is
disclosed (or not), it seems, for a
reason, a reason that is
nevertheless allusive and tricky to
pin down. If there is a general
feeling that a reader takes from a
Coetzee novel, it would be safe to
say that it is not one of resolution --
indeed, most often we find
ourselves asking, 'Why?'

4. About the Novel
• For decades the Magistrate has been a loyal
servant of the Empire, running the affairs of
a tiny frontier settlement and ignoring the
impending war with the barbarians. When
interrogation experts arrive, however, he
witnesses the Empire's cruel and unjust
treatment of prisoners of war. Jolted into
sympathy for their victims, he commits a
quixotic act of rebellion that brands him an
enemy of the state.
J. M. Coetzee's prize-winning novel is a
startling allegory of the war between
oppressor and oppressed. The Magistrate
is not simply a man living through a crisis
of conscience in an obscure place in
remote times; his situation is that of all
men living in unbearable complicity with
regimes that ignore justice and decency.
5. About the Author of Il deserto dei Tartari
The Tartar Steppe
• Dino Buzzati, (born Oct. 16,
1906, Belluno, Italy—died
Jan. 28, 1972, Rome),was
an Italian journalist,
dramatist, short-story writer,
and novelist, internationally
known for his fiction and
plays. His worldwide fame is
mostly due to his novel The
Tartar Steppe, although he
is also known for his well-
received collections of short
stories.
6. About the Novel Il deserto dei Tartari
• Often likened to Kafka's The Castle,
The Tartar Steppe is both a scathing
critique of military life and a meditation
on the human thirst for glory. It tells of
young Giovanni Drogo, who is posted
to a distant fort overlooking the vast
Tartar steppe. Although not intending
to stay, Giovanni suddenly finds that
years have passed, as, almost without
his noticing, he has come to share the
others' wait for a foreign invasion that
never happens.
7. Comparison of Both the Novels:
-Omniscient Narrator
- Drogo - an army officer
- The threat of an invasion from
the northern desert.
-Political claustrophobia
and insecurity.
-Kingdom which is ‘almost’ a
mirror-image of Italy in
mid-1800.
-No civilian population.
- Drogo- Drugs
- Monti – Mountain
- First Person Narrative
- Magistrate - a civilian officer
- The threat of an invasion
from the northern desert.
-Political claustrophobia
and insecurity.
-Ambiguity about the
location.
-Less realistic and more
enigmatic.
- Civilian Population.
- -Joll – to play around

(1980)
8. So What ?
• I found DARGO more realistic in comparison of
Magistrate .
• Drago’s death was meaningful, he was in constant
quest of finding meaning of his existence but at the
end he found meaninglessness. His death was
Intellectual.
• I found magistrate coward , he had power still he
was unable to do anything and at the end of the
novel he was even not able to write about the
history that he lived .
