The certain outbreak of Covid 19 in various parts of the world in 2020 2021 has severely affected educational institutions in various countries. Students were affected by the way to accept the hybrid form of learning and also grasp the interest in the classes that were conducted online. The study compares students’ views of traditional offline and online classes. The study was carried out at Charnock Healthcare Institute, and 284 nursing students participated. The findings indicated that the effectiveness of online education is dismal, as students find it difficult to adjust to the online mode of education and the offline mode of education remains the most preferred mode of education.

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.
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.

A pullout quote says: “A 2018 poll of over 37,500 students from 140 UK universities found that more than one-fifth of students have a current mental health diagnosis and over one-third reported psychological distress for which they felt they needed professional help. This was pre-Covid.

A two-column table lists pedagogic ways of using Chat GPT or similar AI in the left-hand column and gives examples of each in the right-hand column. Text in the table reads:
Possibility engine
Students write queries in ChatGPT and use the Regenerate response function to examine alternative responses.
Co-designer
Teachers ask ChatGPT for ideas about designing or updating a curriculum and/or focus on specific goals such as how to make the curriculum more accessible.
Study buddy
Students explain their current level of understanding to ChatGPT and ask for ways to help them study the material.
Motivator
Teachers or students ask ChatGPT for ideas about how to extend students’ learning after providing a summary of the current level of knowledge
Dynamic assessor
Students interact with ChatGPT in a tutorial-type dialogue and then ask ChatGPT to produce a summary of their current state of knowledge to share with their teacher/
