A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
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.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Â
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECDâs Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

4. Material Culture refers to:
⢠the psychological meanings that
all physical objects have to people
in a particular culture
⢠the range of manufactured
objects that are typical within a
socioculture and form an essential
part of cultural identity.
Human beings perceive and
understand the material things
around them according to their
culture.
5. In Other Words...
You can tell a lot about people by looking at their stuffâthe things
they make, possess, think, and value. That is the idea that drives the
ďŹeld of material culture, in which scholars explore the meaning of
objects of a given society. And nowhere are those meanings more
revealing than in the material culture of the United States.
6. To understand Realistic novels,
we need to appreciate that:
âthe things that people use and acquire in order
to deďŹne themselvesâtheir tools, their furniture,
their accessories . . . are indeed part of the
very deďŹnition of âcharacter,â of who one is
and what one claims to be. And the picture of
the whole only emergesâif it doesâfrom
the accumulation of things.â
Peter Brooks. Realist Vision. Yale U P, 2005.
7. Today, Weâll Survey Yezierskaâs Use
Of Material Culture As:
⢠Oppositional to the realm of the spirit
⢠Expressions of being âa real personâ
⢠Representative of 19th-20th Century class
distinctions & consumerism
⢠Veneers to portray oneself in a different social
class
10. The Hustle
& bustle of
the Street:
The press of urban
humanity and mass
market commodities &
machine-made products
11. Yezierskaâs use of Material
Culture As Oppositional to the
Realm of the Spirit
12. ⢠As early as page 11, Yezierska presents the
parable of Rabbi Chanina Ben Dosa and
the âbig chunk of goldâ
⢠From this story, it is clear that the desire
for things of this earth come at the expense
of heavenly treasures and âthe wine of
Heavenâ (12).
13. Sara & Her family Are
Taught Not to want the
Things of This Earth
14. Sara Learns The World Doesnât [always]
Work That way--she Witnesses Rebâs
Confrontation with the Landlord
âShe took one step
towards him and shut
his book with such
anger that it fell at her
feet. Little red threads
burned out of Fatherâs
eyes. He rose slowly, but
quicker than lightning
ďŹashed his hand....
Father slapped the
landlady on one cheek,
then on the other, till
the blood rushed from
her noseâ (18).
15. These scenes &
stories clearly
place Material
culture in
opposition to The
Realm of the Spirit
16. The Family Choice: Rebâs Holy Books or The
Samovar?
When leaving Russia, the choice had to be made...
What would YOU take?
They also left feather beds, table cloths, curtains,
towelsâall sorts of domestic items (32-33).
17. Lesson One:
Sara Ascertains
That The Desire For
Material Culture
Might Put Oneâs
Soul In Jeopardy
18. Yezierskaâs use of Material
Culture As Expressions of
being a âReal Personâ
19. Ask Yourself: How Does One
Develop a Sense of Self without:
⢠Privacy or room of oneâs
own?
⢠Financial support?
⢠Time to explore?
⢠Permission to play and
imagine?
20. In Order To Discover a Sense Of Self--
Kids Need To Be Kids
24. âAnd throwing the ďŹfty
pennies, like a shower of
gold, into my motherâs lap, I
cried, âNow, will you yet
call me crazy-head? Give
only a look what âBlood-
and-ironâ has doneââ (23).
25. At First, Sara Believes That Things
Make the Family More American
⢠âMother began to ďŹx up the house like other peopleâ (28).
⢠â[W]e could all sit down by the table at the same time and
eat like peopleâ (29).
⢠âI want to do something. I want some day to make myself
for a person and come among peopleâ (66).
⢠â[W]ith seventy-eight dollars and eighty-nine cents coming in
every day, weâll soon be able to buy a piano and Iâll begin to
take piano lessons. And if I were a piano-player instead of a
shop hand, I wouldnât have to marry myself to a common
man...Iâll try to catch on to a doctor, or a lawyerâ (118).
26. Lesson Two:
The âthingsâ of
Material Culture
Can Enable
Empowerment, a Sense
of Personhood &
Pride
29. Material Culture: Mass
Production & Consumerism
⢠Standards of Western Beauty
⢠New World vs. Old World Values
⢠Portraits of the American Dream as
seen in popular culture (consumer
ads, ďŹlm, periodicals)
⢠Perceptions of âHand-Madeâ vs.
âMachine-Madeâ
30. Mashah âbuys-inâ to New
World Values & Beauty
⢠âLike a lady from Fifty Avenue I look, and for only ten
cents, from a pushcart on Hester Streetâ (2).
⢠â[T]hese pink roses on my hat to match out my pink
calico will make me look just like the picture on the
magazine coverâ (3).
⢠â[S]he came home with another new-rich idea, another
money-spending thing, which she said she had to have.
She told us that...everybody in the family had a
toothbrush and a separate towel for himself â (6).
31. What Does a Personal Toothbrush &
Towel MEAN to the Smolinsky Family?
40. Shenah uses things to create the
appearance of wealth & comfort
to attract boarders:
⢠She uses empty herring pails as a bed riser
⢠She puts a board over a potato barrel, covers it
with newspaper and creates a âtableâ
⢠She uses a oilcloth-covered soapbox as a chair
Examples from p. 15
42. The American Dream
⢠Be oneâs own boss
⢠Make oneâs own hours
⢠Protestant Work Ethic: Hard work pays off
⢠Honesty is the best policy
⢠Freedom of choices
43. The stock in the store was a
shamâa veneerâhowever.
44. Lesson Four:
Ultimately, However, Sara Rejects Material
Culture as an Escape from Poverty
and Recognizes âThingsâ as Merely Veneers
⢠âBut the more people get, the more they want. We no sooner
got used to regular towels than we began to want
toothbrushes, each for himself like Mashahâ (29).
⢠âItâs only when poor people begin to eat and sleep and dress
themselves that the ugliness and dirt begins to creep out of
their black holesâ (38).
⢠âIâm going to make my own life!â (138)
45. More...
⢠âI looked in the glass at the new self I had made.
Now I was exactly like the others! Red lips, red
cheeks, even red roses under the brim of my hat....
But my excited happiness soon sank down. I felt
funny and queer. Something was wrong. As if my
painted face didnât hang together with the rest of
me. On the outside I looked like the other girls.
But the easy gladness that sparkled from their eyes
was not in mine. They were a bunch of light-
hearted savages who looked gay because they felt
gay. I was like a dolled-up dummy ďŹxed for a part
on the stageâ (182-183).
46. More...
âMy one hope was to get to the educated world,
where only the thoughts you give out count, and
not how you look. My longing for the living
breath of a little understanding became centered
more and more in my dream of going to
collegeâ (183-184).
