Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.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.

- Results are in- kids do judge books by their cover. According to a TALKBACK article from www.schoollibrary.com for 250 MS the recommendations of librarians received the same rank as the recommendations of friends. That is high praise- 27 ‘usually’ seek the recommendation of a librarian and 50 percent ‘sometimes’ do. Themes and displays are a fun way to grab students attentions and including books that have attractive covers will increase the likelihood of students actually checking out your recommendations.
