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.
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.

3. Why Is It Important? It explains the forces that shape the land. It explores how living things are connected to the places where they live. Helps us understand our environment.

5.
6. So….Who Studies Geography? Geographers! Do you like to ask questions? Do you like to find answers? Do you like being outside? Then being a geographer may be just the job for you someday!
7. Three Essential Questions Where is it? Why is it there? What is it like there? These are the questions geographers ask about different environments. Their job is to find the answers.
8. “Where is it?” Geographers answer this question by describing the location of a place? How would you describe the location of your home? Explain what is close to it. Give the address **Geographers do both of these!**
9. An Address? Geographers give places an address by using lines of latitude and longitude. Check it out!
10. Latitude These lines are also called parallels. Degrees of latitude measure how far north or south of the equator a place is. Each line has a number, called degrees. The equator is 0 degrees latitude. Other latitude lines are measured in degrees north or south of the equator.
11. Longitude Also known as meridians. Also have numbers, called degrees, to name each line. The prime meridian is at 0 degree longitude. The rest of the longitude lines measure east or west of the prime meridian.
12. “Why Is It There?” After answering the “where” question, geographers are ready to tackle the “why” question. This takes detective work. Look for clues about the forces that created mountains, rivers, and other features. Look for clues about why people settled there. Look for clues about why communities grew or disappeared
13. What Kind of Clues? Natural Clues: landforms, bodies of water, wind, rainfall, plants, animals, trees, and soil. Human Clues: languages, food eaten, jobs, religion, and types of buildings.
14. “What Is It Like?” This is where the geographer takes the clues used to answer the “why” question and describe them!
15. Let’s Be Geographers! Now it’s your turn to be a geographer! Let’s take some time right now to answer those three questions geographers use to learn about our area!
16. “Where is it?” Let’s look at a globe. What do you notice? Sphere shaped 7 Continents Africa Antarctica Asia Australia Europe North America South America 4 Oceans Atlantic Ocean Arctic Ocean Indian Ocean Pacific Ocean 4 Hemispheres Hemisphere: one half of Earth’s surface Lines of Latitude and Longitude
17. So….Where are we? Northern and Western Hemisphere North American Continent United States of America Illinois Stephenson County German Valley
18. “What is here?” What are some landforms in our area? What kinds of work do people do? What plants and animals do you see?
19. “Why is it here?” The why we will be learning more about in the two lessons when we discuss erosion. In the meantime, continue to describe the world around you! Let’s be successful geographers!
