English Education Grammar
Organization refers to the arrangement of ideas in a text. You can easily follow good organization when you create an outline of your ideas before you start. An outline is like the skeleton of the human body—the latter gives the body form while the former gives your writing basically the same thing. The form will make the readers see which ones are the major parts and which ones are the minor parts. An outline can be useful because it provides a format in which ideas can be arranged in a hierarchy—that is, it distinguishes the general ideas from the specific or subordinating ideas. Coherence and cohesion refers to the connection of ideas and connection between sentences and between paragraphs.As you have read previously, a text is connected discourse. This means that the ideas you will write on a topic will not be considered a well-written text if they do not stick together. In order for you to assure coherence and cohesion, youneed to use transitional and cohesive devices.For instance, to provide coherence, you may use phrases that signals that you are adding more information (e.g. inaddition, moreover), or referring to the previous statement (e.g. as mentioned earlier), or contrasting the previousstatement (e.g. however), and so on.For providing cohesion, you must organize old and new information in your text. Organizing old and new information can be done by using certain vocabulary such as synonyms and antonyms, or repetition of words from the previous sentence, or using pronouns and conjunction.

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.
