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.
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.

The Research
What do researchers have to say about the importance of
summer reading?
“… the best predictor of summer loss or summer gain is
whether or not a child reads during the summer. And the
best predictor of whether a child reads is whether or not he
or she has access to books.”
Allington, Richard L. and McGill-Franzen, Anne.“Bridging the
Summer Reading Gap,” Scholastic Instructor (2003,
May/June).

The Research
What do researchers have to say about the importance of
summer reading?
“Regardless of ethnicity, socioeconomic level, or previous
achievement, children who read four or more books over
the summer fare better on reading-comprehension tests in
the fall than their peers who read one or no books over the
summer.”
Kim, Jimmy.“Summer Reading and the Ethnic Achievement
Gap,” The Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk
(2004).

The Research
What do researchers have to say about the importance of
summer reading?
“In a three-year study, researchers at the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, found that simply giving children access to books at
spring Fairs – and allowing them to choose books that most
interested them – had a significant effect, equivalent to three years
of summer school, on the summer reading gap.”
Allington, Richard L. and McGill-Franzen, Anne. (2003). Addressing
summer reading setback among economically disadvantaged
elementary students. Reading Psychology, 31(5), 411-427 as cited by
