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.

8. The Dozens is a game of spoken words between two contestants,
common in Black communities of the United States, where
participants insult each other until one gives up. It is customary for
the Dozens to be played in front of an audience of bystanders, who
encourage the participants to reply with more egregious insults to
heighten the tension and consequently, to be more interesting to
watch. Among African-Americans it is also known as "capping",
"clowning", "ranking", "ragging", "sounding", "joning", "woofing",
"wolfing", "sigging", or "signifying",while the provocations
themselves are known as "snaps".
Comments in the game focus on the opposite player's intelligence,
appearance, competency, social status, financial situation, and
disparaging remarks about the other player's family members—
mothers in particular ("yo′ mama...")—are common. So what did it
inspire in recent times that was trending in all social media few
months back?

36. There are many interpretations of this song:
Some think this song is about someone who percieves the
world in a logical rather than an emotional way, as a X does to
his work, and tries to apply this logic to the relationship he is in
but soon realises that logic cannot be applied to everything
and that he is feeling emotional instead and ignores the logic.
Obviously he wants to try again now as he realises his
mistake.
Some believe that this song meant how love is so powerful,
but you dont know it until the one that you truly love is actually
gone.
Some other sources states that "The X is Dan.", with Dan
referring to Dan Keeling, the A&R man who signed the band to
Parlophone.

40. A red Indian chef had three squaws in three tepees.
When he came home from hunting he never knew
which squaw was in which tepee because it was so
dark. One day he killed a hippopotamus, a bear and a
buffalo. He put one hide from each animal into each
tepee, so that when he came home late he could feel
inside the tepee and would know which squaw was
which.
After a year all the three squaws had children. The
squaw on the bear hide had a baby boy, that on the
buffalo hide had a baby girl and the squaw on the
hippopotamus had a girl and a boy.
Either tell us the moral of the story or why it was used
for.

to the sum of thesquaws on the other two
hides.

43.

45. X wrote one of the finest novels ever to feature chess – “The
Defence”.
The plot concerns the title character, Aleksandr Ivanovich Luzhin. As
a boy, he is considered unattractive, withdrawn, and an object of
ridicule by his classmates. One day, when a guest comes to his
father's party, he is asked whether he knows how to play chess. This
encounter serves as his motivation to pick up chess. He skips school
and visits his aunt's house to learn the basics. He quickly becomes a
great player, enrolling in local competitions and rising in rank as a
chess player. His talent is prodigious and he attains the level of
a Grandmaster in less than ten years. For many years, he remains
one of the top chess players in the world, but fails to become a world
champion.
However X is best known for his best-seller Y. In his spare time he
composed many fine chess problems. Give me X and Y.
(Hints: Y sounds very Bong, no offence!!)
47. Better known as The million Y Temple, the

contemporary Buddhist temple in the Khun Han district

landscape. The residential Buddhist monks simply
encouraged everyone in the area to bring them X’s to
create a temple complex.
However since the completion of the temple more and
more buildings have been added. ”The more X’s we
get, the more buildings we make,” says Abbot San
Kataboonyo.(pic next slide)

sophisticated take on midi-length skirts, palazzos
and Peter Pan-collared blouses.
What, however, was the main inspiration behind
the dresses?
52.
53. The photo on the next slide is of the

in Jorhat, thus becoming the first Indian to grow
tea commercially in Assam.
Today that tea garden is known for what other
reason?

artist, was attempting to draw a comic
character known as the “Rape Rodent”
(picture on next slide).

else, similar to its image, which has now
become a symbol of a popular 21st century
phenomenon.
What?

present day Jamaica. He and his crew had
eaten a great deal of the inhabitants' food,

feed them anymore.
As a result, to convince the inhabitants of his
power, so that they resumed giving food to
