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.

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.
2. TENSES
Grammatical expression of the location of events in
time
Anchors an event to the speaker’s experience of
the world by relating the event time to a point of
reference
The universal, unmarked referece point – the
moment of speaking – speech time
3. ENGLISH TENSES
Two tenses: the present and the past, the past
being the marked form, both morphologically and
semantically
4. TENSES
Past time now future time
speech
time
the present
moment
5. THE PRESENT TENSE
The basic meaning of the present tense – to locate
a situation holding at the present moment: this may
be an instantaneous event (I promise to come), a
state which holds over time (Jupiter is the largest
planet), or a habitual occurrence (He works in an
office)
Secondary meanings of the present include
reference to past and future events, ‘historic
present’ (This man comes up to me and…) and the
quotative (and she says ‘I don’t believe it’)
6. THE PAST TENSE
Refers to a definite event or state that is prior to
utterance time;
Its seconday uses refer to a present event or state
as hypothetical (If I were you)
7. FUTURE
English has no verbal inflection to mark a future
tense; instead, English makes use of a number of
forms to refer to future events
8. PAST EVENTS AND PRESENT TIME CONNECTED:
PRESENT PERFECT AND PAST PERFECT
While tense situates an event or state in present or past
time, aspect is concerned with such notions as duration
and completion or incompleton of the process expressed
by the verb
English has two aspects, the Perfect and the Progressive
The Present Perfect views a state or event as occurring at
some indefinite time within a time-frame that leads up to
speech time
The event is viewed as psychologically relvant to the
present; by contrast, an event encoded in the Past tense
is viewed as disconnected from the present
Implications of recency, completion and result are all
manifestations of current relevance
The Past Perfect refers to events previous to those
expressed by a past tense or by a Present Perfect
9. SITUATION TYPES AND THE PROGRESSIVE
ASPECT
Important aspectual contrasts include perfectivity
(viewing the event as a whole) vs imperfectivity (viewing
the event as incomplete)
The only grammaticalised aspectual contrasts in English
are the Progressive vs non-progressive and the Perfect
vs non-perfect
Progressiveness focuses on the continuousness of the
internal part of the event. Another type, that of past
habituality, is expressed by the lexical auxiliary used
to+inf
Situations can be classed as states (It’s hot), as
punctual occurrences (the cable snapped), as durative
occurrences without an end-point: we walked along
(activities) and as durative with an end-point: we walked
home (accomplishments)
