Research databases are organized collections of scholarly information like journal articles that have been peer-reviewed for accuracy. They provide reliable and relevant sources for research that can be searched by keywords. Unlike Google or Wikipedia, research databases ensure information is current, peer-reviewed, and provides full-text articles with citations. Students can access many research databases for free through their school or public library.
Evaluating Your Sources
This document outlines five criteria for evaluating information sources: accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage. It explains each criterion in detail. Accuracy involves checking the author's credentials and expertise. Authority means evaluating the author's qualifications. Objectivity is about determining any biases.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaA 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.
