A Letter Soup
By Pedro Pablo Sacristan
Once upon a time there was a very evil and
unpleasant crook who only ever thought about how to get
money. Seeing anyone happy bothered the crook
enormously. What he hated most was when people were
polite and courteous to each other, saying things like
please and thank you, and don't mention it. It annoyed
him even more if they were smiling when they said these
things.
The crook thought all those kinds of words were a
useless waste, and weren't good for anything. So what
he did was spend a lot of time inventing a machine
which could steal words. With this machine, he
planned to steal 'please', 'thank you', 'don't mention
it', and similar words people used to be polite. He
was convinced that no one would notice if those words
were to suddenly disappear. When he had stolen these
words, he intended to take them apart and sell the
letters to book publishers.

The crook was terribly happy with his success, but he didn't count on a couple of very special little girls. Those girls were deaf, and had to communicate using sign language. Now,becausethe machine couldn't steal gestures, these girls continued being kind and polite. Soon they realised what had been happening to everyone else, and they found out about the crook and his wicked plan.

https://app.box.com/s/y977uz6bpd3af4qsebv7r9b7s21935vdA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
