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.

• Assumes blood and body fluid of ANY patient
could be infectious
• Recommends PPE and other infection control
practices to prevent transmission in any
healthcare setting
• Decisions about PPE use determined by type
of clinical interaction with patient
PPE Use in Healthcare Settings

• Gloves – Use when touching blood, body
fluids, secretions, excretions, contaminated
items; for touching mucus membranes and
nonintact skin
• Gowns – Use during procedures and patient
care activities when contact of clothing/
exposed skin with blood/body fluids,
secretions, or excretions is anticipated

43. PPE for Standard Precautions (2)
• Mask and goggles or a face shield – Use
during patient care activities likely to generate
splashes or sprays of blood, body fluids,
secretions, or excretions
