Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. What more can you say
about the type of music
video that is the most
prominent today? Throughout my research, I have found a clear correlation in the sense that as time has progressed, there
seems to be an increasing amount of narrative based music videos. In the mid 20th century, almost all
music videos were based around the idea of performance. The artists let their facial expressions, gestures
and lyrics create an atmosphere tell a story. The concepts of the music/videos were meaningful and
emotional, and it was felt that this was most easily and best portrayed through the performance of the
artist. The fact that music videos were not diverse was probably due to the lack of technological
development too; special effects were almost non-existent and shots of the artist/band were lengthy due
to the lack of cameras which could portray different angles. Nowadays, technology is incredibly
advanced and it is easy to create special effects on downloadable software; almost anyone can do it. It
would be boring if the artists simply stood at the front of a stage and performed to a camera, therefore
artists now try and create a storyline that is almost a mini film in which audience members can identify
with intertextual references (as they would in other types of visual media) to establish a connection with
the video. Even though often in videos the artists still ‘perform’ as such (through miming), they often do
this within the storyline itself. For example, in Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” video, she acts as some sort of
ancient princess/goddess with significant powers, however throughout the ‘story’, even though still in
character, she performs the lyrics with her mouth. These lyrics correlate with the action going on in the
scene. This is done not only to ensure that the audience can make links between the lyrics and visuals, but
also to establish who the artist is in the video.
3. Why does the type of music
video depend on genre?
I think that when analysing genre, it is important to note which genres
generally place their emphasis on the pure instruments and which place their
emphasis on the voice. Notably, those videos where most emphasis is placed
on the instruments will have some sort of performance within them because
the genres which do this see this as the most crucial element of the music to
portray visually. Other genres place more emphasis on not only the voice, but
also on sounds heard in the music which are not authentic, i.e. they have been
manipulated in a piece of music production software (this is where most
sampled dubstep sounds come from). In my opinion (and according to my
research), these factors influence the types of music video sourced by each
genre. It also depends on the meaning of the song. For example, a lot of pop-ballads
have deep meaning and will therefore be performed or will be used
within a narrative, however electronic music with minimal meaning will use
concept videos.
4. Which genres tend
do which and why?
Rock music: usually performance, sometimes there is an
element of narrative. This is due to the emphasis on the
instruments.
Electronic music: usually concept due to the minimal meaning.
Country music: a mixture between performance and narrative
due to the emphasis on both meaning and instruments.
Pop music: most often narrative due to its intertextual nature
and the fact that its easy to correlate such lyrics to a storyline.
R&B: could be any of the above, but most often there is an
element of performance often with a group of dancers in a
club. Could be due to the light hearted nature of some of the
songs.
5. the theories that Goodwin
analysed and how they
relate to music videos
today? What genres do they
Goodwin’s Theory is based on 8 main principles:
Links between lyrics and visuals: there is often always some sort of direct link between what is said and what is done. This is more
influential in pop music videos, more explicitly when in One Directions “What just as the artist sings “the way that reflect you flip your hair” .
most?>
Makes You Beautiful” we see a girl flipping her hair
Links between Music and Visuals (complimentary, contradicting or amplification): In a lot of R&B videos, there are short jump cuts
to the beat, directly linking with the idea of the notions of looking, as men are seen to be observing women. Similarly,
electronic/dance music videos are often edited to a strong beat but with no relevance any meaningful notion.
Genre characteristics: It is a known idea that most music videos will incorporate characteristics/ conventions specific to their genre.
However, some artists think that by breaking the codes and conventions of their genre, they are making themselves appear different
from other artists. For example, in this day and age where most female artists are doing their best to appear as exhibitionists,
Beyoncé rebels against this in her video for “Irreplaceable” by covering up her body and dressing in unfashionable clothes perhaps in
order to break the stereotype and show that she can be successful without revealing her body (or maybe for the fact that it adds to the
effect of her video and that of which the song is trying to portray). SEE RIGHT
Intertextual references: pop music is a genre which is most likely to feature intertextuality.
This is due to the fact that there are a lot of references to pop culture and what is current, and
pop music is the genre which is most listened to in terms of being on the radio and on TV. Iggy
Azelea’s “Fancy” video is a direct reference to the film “Clueless”.
Notions of Looking (objectification of women): this is more commonly exhibited in R&B
music videos because the songs are usually about the sexualisation of women.
Voyeurism (direct gaze, other people looking at artist, insight into artists life, screens and mirrors): again, R&B videos are usually the
ones that exhibit these types of ideas because often they show the artist as being desired by others. It makes people feel almost
privileged to see the artist from such a close perspective.
Demands of the Record Label (representation of the artist): all genres are responsible for this convention. In a lot of videos where the
artist is the focal point, the artist is seen to represent a specific unique style and in order to show them off a lot of closeups as well to
show both the artists face and body.
Performance based, narrative based or concept based music videos (these of which have been previously discussed).
