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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. INTRODUCTION
• The Research design is the conceptual structure within which research is
conducted; it constitutes the blue print for the collection, measurement and
analysis of data.
• The research design provides the back bone structure of the study, it supports the
study and holds it together.
• The research design refers to the researcher overall plan for answering the
research question or testing the research hypothesis.
10-01-2023 Research Design | Dr.Vedavati 3
4. RESEARCH DESIGN
• According to William Zikmund “Research design is defined as a master plan
specifying the methods and procedures for collection and analysing the needed
information.”
• Research design refers to the overall strategy utilized to carry out research that
defines a succinct and logical plan to tackle established research question through
the collection, interpretation, analysis and discussion of data.
10-01-2023 Research Design | Dr.Vedavati 4
5. RESEARCH DESIGN Contains …….
• It contains information regarding …..
What is the study about ?
Why is the study being made ?
Where will the study being carried out ?
What type of data is required ?
Where can the required data be found ?
What periods of time will the study include ?
What will be the sample design ?
What techniques of data collection will be done ?
How will the data be analysed ?
In what style will the report be prepared ?
6. Need of Research Design
• It facilitates the smooth sailing of the various research operations, thereby making
research as efficient as possible yielding maximal information with minimal expenditure
of effort, time and money.
• It stands for advance planning of the methods to be adopted for collecting the relevant
data and techniques to be used in their analysis, keeping in view the objective of the
research and the availability of staff, time and money.
• Research design helps the researcher to organize his ideas in a form whereby it will be
possible for him to look for flaws and inadequencies.

7. Characteristics of Good Design
• Objectivity
• Flexible
• Appropriate
• Accurate
• Efficient
• Economical
• Minimise the biasness
• Reliability

8. Different types of Research Designs
1. Exploratory type Research Design.
2. Descriptive and Diagnostic type Research Design (Hypothesis generating studies)
3. Experimental type Research Design (Hypothesis Testing Research Studies)
10-01-2023 Research Design | Dr.Vedavati 8
9. Exploratory type Research Design
• Exploratory research studies are also termed as Formulative Research Studies.
• Exploratory research, as the name implies merely to explore the research questions and does not
intend to offer final and conclusive solutions to existing problems.
• This type of research is usually conducted to study a problem that has not been clearly defined yet.
• Exploratory research “ tends to tackle new problems on whivh little or no previous research has been
done”.
• Conducted in order to determine the nature of the problem, exploratory research is not intended to
provide conclusive evidence, but helps us to have a better understanding of the problem.
10-01-2023 Research Design | Dr.Vedavati 9
10. • Examples of Exploratory Research Design :
A study into implications of Covid – 19 pandemic into global economy.
The clinical study to evaluate Rasayana effect of Bharangi Guda in Post Covid Subjects.
11. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Lower costs of conducting the study.
Inclusive nature of research findings.
Flexibility and adaptability to change.
Exploratory studies generate qualitative
information and interpretation of such type of
information in subject to bias.
Exploratory research is effective in laying the
groundwork that will lead to future studies.
These types of studies usually make use of a
modest number of samples that may not
adequately represent the target population.
Accordingly, findings of exploratory research
can not be generalized to a wider population.
Exploratory studies can potentially save time by
determining at the earlier stages the types of
research that are worth pursuing.
Findings of such type of studies are not usually
useful in decision making in a practical level.
12. Descriptive and Diagnostic type Research Design
• Descriptive Research studies are those research studies which are concerned with describing the
characteristics of a particular individual or a group, whereas diagnostic research studies determine the
frequency with which something occurs or its association with something else.
• The Descriptive Research design is used when the purpose of the study is to learn Who, What. Where
and How of variable.
• It is most widely used research design.
• Its common means of obtaining information include the use of the questionnaire, personal interviews
with the aid of study guide/ interview schedule and observation either participatory or not.
10-01-2023 Research Design | Dr.Vedavati 12
13. • The design in such studies must focus attention on the following :
Formulating the objective of the study (what the study is about and why is it being made ?)
Designing the methods of data collection (what techniques of gathering data will be adopted?)
Selecting the sample (how much material will be needed? )
Collecting the data (where can the required data be found and with what time period should the
data be related? )
Processing and analysing the data.
Reporting the findings.
10-01-2023 Research Design | Dr.Vedavati 13
14. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Effective to analyse non-quantified topivs and
issues.
Descriptive studies can not test or verify the
research problem statistically.
The possibility to observe the phenomenon in a
completely natural and unchanged natural
environment.
Research results may reflect certain level of bias
due to the absence of statistical tests.
The opportunity to integrate the qualitative and
quantitative methods of data collection.
Accordingly, research finfings can be
comprehensive.
The majority of descriptive studies are not
‘repeatable‘ due to their observational nature.
Less time consuming than quantitative
experiments.
Descriptive studies are not helpful in identifying
cause behind described phenomena.

16. Experimental type Research Design
Professor R.A.Fisher’s name is associated with experimental designs.
It is also know as Hypothesis-testing research studies.
It is a type of research design where the researcher tests the hypothesis of casual relationships
between variables.
Experimental design refers to the framework or structure of an experiment and as such there are
several experimental designs.
• Basic Principles of Experimental Designs :
1. Principle of Replication.
2. Principle of Randomization.
3. Principle of Local Control.

18. 10-01-2023 Research Design | Dr.Vedavati 18
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Most powerful design to demonstrate cause and
effect relationships between the independent and
dependent variable.
• Some variables can’t be manipulated.
• Ethical constraints for experimenting on
humans.
19. HOW TO SELECT RESEARCH DESIGN ?
• A research design is a stratergy for answering your research question using empirical data. Creating
a research design means making decisions about :
Your overall research objectives and approach.
The type of research design you’ll use.
Your sampling methods or certain for selecting subjects.
Your data collection methods.
The procedures you’ll follow to collect data.
Your data analysis methods.
20. • A well planned research design helps ensure that your methods match your research objectives and that
you use the right kind of analysis for your data.
• You should carefully consider which methods are most appropriate and feasible for answering your
question.
Consider your aims and approach.
Choose a type of research design.
Identify your population and sampling method.
Choose your data collection methods.
Plan your data collection procedures.
Decide on your data analysis stratergies.
Frequently asked questions about research design.
21. CONCLUSION
• There are several research designs and the researcher must decide in advance of collection and
analysis of data as to which design would prove to be more appropriate for his research project.
• He must give due preference to various points such as …
a. The type of universe and its nature, the objective of his study.
b. The resource list or the sampling frame.
c. Desired standard of accuracy when taking a decision in respect of the design for his research
project.
