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.

27. Literature Review
FOCUS on the meat of the article not their lit
reviews: Findings, Discussion, Results….Avoid
any sentences in the paper that cite someone
else! use sentences written by the author you are
reading.
No personal stories- or really cool
introductions- no OPINION and no
arguing the “obvious” point of view-
there is no BIAS in lit reviews
Make sure that you are not neglecting key
studies in the field. Make sure your sources are
relevant both on topic and timeliness. ITS OK TO
HAVE ARTICLES THAT DO NOT AGREE WITH
YOU. Address them and see why they may not
match the findings of other research (different
population, different variables, different analysis
etc.)
This is NOT a
book report- you
need to synthesize
your articles-
arrange them by
concept or theme
or similarities-
differences- Some
articles may be
mentioned in
more than one
section. One
section may only
have one relevant
article. don't
forget to mention
any limitations
and future
research that
should be done on
your topic!
