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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Reports about activities September 2016 – March 2017
A Virtual Intertextual Tour across Ancient Entrepeneurship
AVITAE (A Virtual Intertextual Tour across Ancient Entrepreneurship) aims to blend the
study of the classical world with the analysis of examples of ancient entrepreneurship:
students are going to follow the footsteps of the first entrepreneurs, study the evolution of
entrepreneurship through time and finally apply what they have learnt in theory into their own
entrepreneurial ventures; Classical world, entrepreneurship, digitalization: this is the
ambitious trilogy AVITAE relies on.

During the summer we monitored the students work for the August issue articles and we
started researching for material for the entrepreneur video we had to present during the visit in
Cyprus. We exchanged views on how we could proceed on this with the Danish teachers. We
wrote the March- June report and we prepared the paperwork for the trip to Cyprus.
In September we started working on the video project. We shared ideas and decided the
course of action. We visited two factories and a lawyer’s office for the shootings
disseminating our project at the same time. We asked a professional’s help for the final
touches.
We contacted the local MP and let him know about our actions.
After the Cyprus trip we informed the school on the outcomes of the visit and we started
immediately forming our mini companies. We had constant meetings for sharing our ideas.
We focused on twinspace and encouraged new students to participate. We prepared the new
group for Italy and sent the students’ matching forms.
We wrote the articles for the November and January issues.
We made handicrafts for the R C bazaar accompanying them with a hand out describing our
projects and its aims. We participated there informing people about our actions.
We started keeping log books for our companies and filled in canvaniser.
We met with entrepreneurs for soliciting on our entrepreneurial course of action.
We were shown how to produce our vanilla sweet and we started setting up the actual
outcomes of our companies. We prepared the products, made out labels, advertisements,
posters and business cards. We found out what it is like to deal with handicaps and problems
and redesign a new course of action.
We visited the Town Hall to inform the people there on how the project is proceeding and ask
for a money loan as the budget so far allocated was spent. This was another entrepreneurial
move.
We organized an info day and a promotion presentation of the project to the new and older
students in school.

In the autumn 2016 a lot of time was spent on innovating and brainstorming on the video
project on a Danish entrepreneur, using techniques from the AVITAE innovation model,
developed earlier in the project as the picture below shows.
The students studied various Danish
entrepreneurs within the experience
economy and picked the one, which
they found was most interesting in line
with the values of the AVITAE-project,

the Danish licorice-entrepreneur, Johan Bülow, see more on https://lakrids.nu/
The students made contact with the company "Bulow" and gained a lot experience with
interview-techniques and the entrepreneurial processes, values, pains and gains of being an
entrepreneur in the business of experience economy and food industry.
Next the students learned a lot about making videos online, preparing materials, idea-
generation, innovation, storytelling and more.
A very exciting process was to give the video an international twist again in line with
AVITAE. A number of existing and former AVITAE-students were contacted and especially
the competences of the Slovak partner was exploited in producing the video, making it not
only a national product, but a pan-European collaboration.
The video-presentation of the Danish as well as the other countries’ contributions in Cyprus
were very inspiring, great fun and caused an a lot of communication among the students.
The video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-lz9Js6qgI
In January the three groups of mini-companies continued working on developing their ideas.
The three companies were:

5. 5
2: I ChoiXX: A chip that can be used to direct commercials at the individual need
3: PEEP: a social media telling what's going on nearby you of events
On January 26 the AVITAE group together with another class at Ørestad Gymnasium met
with a new startup company "Statum" (http://www.statum.dk), that told ‘the real story’ about
what it is like to be a startup company, getting financial support, qualifying ideas, business
angels, finding the right team for the company, incubation, offices and a lot more.
In February: Visit to Lucca
Before the visit to Lucca only two of the three companies decided to continue, Adventure
Travel and I ChoiXX. The teams prepared to make a stall with posters and a booklet and a
presentation to give at the fair in Lucca.
The visit in Lucca was a huge experience, investigating the ancient entrepreneurship and
relations between art, trade, banking, science and power in renaissance society, especially the
role of the Medici-family.

newspaper and prepared their presentations for the minicompany Fair in Lucca. They set one
