How should i handle my stress and anxietyfaiqa khurram
Stress is a very common thing in today's world. Almost everyone has experienced it. There
are millions of people around the world who are dealing with stress, and some of them even
suffer from it because of their job. If you're one of these people and your job is causing too
much stress for you, then it's time for you to search for an alternative way to deal with stress.
I hope you found the blog post useful and that you learned a thing or two about the causes
of stress and how to manage those things. One thing I'd like to point out is that it's never a
good idea to allow other things to distract you from your goals. Your biggest priority should
always be setting yourself up with the tools and skills necessary to reach your goals, both
long-term ones and even short-term ones
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.
