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.

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.

Editor's Notes
TO

TO
We use all the standard methods of gathering feedback and continue to use NSS, PTES, PRES, FE Survey, LibQUAL, tell us about it – campaigns e.g. opening hrs .
Campaigns and in house surveys e.g. Catalogue survey, feedback from course and programme boards, SU sabbatical officers.
UX concentrates on behaviour within space, and this research would help us to inform development of existing spaces, as well as feed into the plans for 3 major builds ongoing at the moment at UAL
SR
UX as a methodology uses a range of methods and techniques which are often described as anthropological and ethnographical in that they encourage objective observation and reflection of user behaviour within a given environment or system
Employed 12 observers through our UAL student temp agency – 2 per lib
We ran a half day work shop to set out what was required for the 3 techniques our students would be working on, Mapping, Observing and Touchstone tours. This also gave the student temps an opportunity to try out the techniques.
Set them doing field work for 2 weeks at different times of the day, and all days of the week
SR
Here is our full schedule over 6 months
Students employed for observation as well as for the collation of data as well as identifying key themes / likes & dislikes
Senior managers in project team then drew up reports and recommendations across UAL LS & for each college
SR
Ist method was mapping student movements within library spaces.
observers were located at vantage points throughout the libraries and Learning Zones, at specific times of the day, and plotted student journeys.
This is a popular way to see if signposting works, or whether students use particular preferred routes through the library and if there are particular physical paths of least resistance within spaces.
It is also a good method to see where the popular or unpopular destinations are.
We specified 3 vantage points per area and each observer mapped routes for 15 minutes at a time.
SR
Second method was observation, again at particular vantage points (i.e. communal areas, silent zones, photocopy areas) to see how the area or space is naturally used. This complements mapping, as it allows the observer to see which natural behaviours occur within given areas.
For static observations students were asked to look at what was happening in a specific space and to note their observations under a variety of headings e.g. environment / actions / actors
Students loved mapping and observing as they felt like secret agents. It was good for us too, as they blended in far better than we would have done.
TO
Here our observers invited users, mostly students to give them a tour around their library. This helped us identify well used and unknown areas in the space and common likes and dislikes. It also gave us suggestions for service improvements from users. Again this was very successful peer to peer as our users were more likely to be candid with fellow students.
TO
The focus groups generated deep and reflective discussion
The observers told us about key themes in their observation library
and they critiqued the observational techniques e.g. we had big issues with wifi & technology so would make sure we have paper copies of everything available. We will also spend less time on static observation in the future.
2. A focus group was held with lunch in each library to discuss our spaces
TO
We kicked these sessions off with an icebreaker. Participants were invited to write a love letters or a break up letter to the library.
It was a great way to get them to start thinking about the space before starting to focus group discussion.
TO
All the focus group participants and observers were then invited to keep a reflective journal of the spaces the learned and studied in for weeks.
Participants were asked to consider what made a learning space conducive to their studying, wherever they were – so not just in UAL LS or college.
So they might be on the bus, in a park or in another building.
This was useful for feedback on the look & feel of spaces as well as specifics to feed into current and future spaces.
SR
The UX reports – made recommendations across service, and for each library
Reflective journals informed us about the kind of learning spaces that students liked, or not, not necessarily within LS
To inform future Library space planning projects in current and new library buildings
Fed into student responsiveness policy, processes and initiatives
UX is now embedded as part of our culture and we have tried and tested our methodology and will improve on it next time
