The history of Santa Claus can be traced back to Saint Nicholas from Turkey in the 300s AD. According to legend, Saint Nicholas donated money to a poor family by secretly putting coins in their chimney. The modern image of Santa Claus is also based on Dutch tales of Sinterklaas, a bishop who visited children on December 6th leaving presents in their shoes by the fireplace. As Dutch settlers came to New York, they brought the tradition of Sinterklaas, which over time became the name Santa Claus in English. Today, Santa Claus is commonly depicted as living at the North Pole and traveling by reindeer to deliver gifts on Christmas Eve.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
