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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The Cannabis Industry is Now Essential
But is It Equal?
Cannabis has been deemed essential, but when will equality rules be enforced?

The Cannabis Industry is Essential But is It Equal?
The coronavirus pandemic that rocked the entire world in 2020 helped many to come to di erent realizations in terms
of what is really important to the general public. The e ect of the pandemic rocked di erent sectors of the economy
and with the necessary measures that were needed for the safety of the populace, some businesses su ered greatly.
3. 9/7/2020 The Cannabis Industry is Now Essential But is It Equal?
https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/the-cannabis-industry-is-now-essential-but-is-it-equal 4/12
Lockdown measures in di erent places around the world meant that all businesses except essential businesses were
closed to limit the spread of the virus. The growing acceptance that cannabis has been enjoying over the years now paid
dividends as some of the states with legal laws classi ed cannabis as essential much to the delight of many cannabis
users. This came as a welcome development for many who had initially had fears of the closure of cannabis
dispensaries prior to the announcements made by the legal states before heading into lockdown.
Cannabis and the Corona virus pandemic
The beginning of the pandemic in the United States was earmarked by a rapid surge in sales of cannabis products
heading into the lockdown. This surge was majorly attributed to the panic-buying nature of many cannabis users who
were worried about the closure of cannabis dispensaries in legal states. The coronavirus whose e ects was really felt at
the beginning of March facilitated the surge in the sales of cannabis products. This was also accompanied by the 4/20
uno cial holiday set aside for cannabis users. And as we all know 420 always sparks an increase in sales. The sales and
boom recorded by the cannabis industry during the coronavirus pandemic can also be attributed to the fact that the
majority of individuals make use of cannabis to deal with the fears and anxieties that surround the pandemic.
Essential, but is it equal?
One worrying fact about the classi cation of the cannabis industry as essential is that it does not seem to be equal. The
reality of the matter is that some states have classi ed the cannabis industry as essential heading into the lockdown but
they were only opening them for medical patients.
This puts a dent on the classi cation of the cannabis industry as essential because unlike groceries and pharmacies that
were opened without restrictions, there is seemingly a sector of the cannabis industry that are treated as 'not essential'.
This puts a dent on the high hopes of the majority that had earlier rejoiced with the declaration of the industry as an
essential service.
This development as expected was met with an outcry in a number of states where laws favor the use of cannabis for
recreational purposes. Massachusetts for example initially headed into the lockdown with their cannabis dispensaries
open primarily for medical patients while it was closed for recreational use. This was stipulated despite the fact that the
4. 9/7/2020 The Cannabis Industry is Now Essential But is It Equal?
https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/the-cannabis-industry-is-now-essential-but-is-it-equal 5/12
full industry was considered as an essential service. This stance was however changed after two months due to di erent
lawsuits.
The same situation was implemented in Colorado where patients needing cannabis for medical purposes had access to
the services of cannabis dispensaries while those who needed it for recreational purposes had the services minimized.
The steps being taken by these state governments show the inequality that exists between how they view the essential
nature of the cannabis industry.
How big of an impact does this have on cannabis users?
The reason why the matter of this inequality in the essential nature of the cannabis industry matters so much is that a
considerable amount of cannabis users makes use of the natural product for its recreational purposes. This reality is
even more true in the 11 states in the United States where the use of cannabis for recreational purposes is legalized.
The lack of an equal view to all arms of the business places a good part of the bene ciaries of the cannabis industry at a
loss. The implication of this in terms of the situation around the pandemic is very dicey especially for recreational users.
All these trends tell us is that there is a great deal of inequality in terms of how these governments see the cannabis
industry.
The nature of the coronavirus pandemic is sure to cause a reduction in the number of cannabis users who will opt for
the conventional smoking method of use as opposed to other methods. This is because the respiratory system is
majorly a ected by the coronavirus which has accounted for a considerable amount of lives lost. The implication of this
is a rise in other forms cannabis products such as cannabis edibles, oils, and tincture. So, the inavailability or scarcity of
these products as well as cannabis strains for recreational users is bound to push them over to illicit sources. Illicit
sources of cannabis cannot be trusted because the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed as opposed to getting it
from reliable sources like cannabis dispensaries.
Bottom line
The present situation clearly depicts how far the cannabis industry has come in terms of acceptance and legalization
and also how far it still needs to go.The cannabis industry engages a good number of people and for cannabis users
that are used to the cannabis markets, there really isn’t much of a distinction between those who use it for medical and
5. 9/7/2020 The Cannabis Industry is Now Essential But is It Equal?
https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/the-cannabis-industry-is-now-essential-but-is-it-equal 6/12
those who use it for recreational purposes.
A lot of cannabis users shop in recreational markets for cannabis to be used for medical purposes especially those who
use it for sleep disturbances and for facilitating a calm and relaxed mood. Recreational and medical users are all part of
the big cannabis family. There's no need for any baseless discrimination. The unnecessary divide poses a lot risk to
users and the cannabis industry at large.
It is therefore necessary to put an end to the discrimination of recreational users so as not to push cannabis users to
risky activities like illicit procurement of cannabis, and so on. Despite the hurdles, the cannabis industry is forging
ahead. Exciting times for a cannabis lover.

5 National Crises Legal Marijuana Has a Good Shot at Fixing
Legalizing cannabis wouldn't only free up prison space and allow law enforcement to focus on more dangerous criminals. Treating marijuana like booze would
improve everything from the economy to the environment. We should encourage lawmakers to free the weed, and here's why.
