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.

Video-conferencing as an NREN Service
2. Introductions
» Who
am
I?
› On
secondment
from
Jisc
in
the
UK
for
two
years
– Part
of
Jisc
Futures
division
– Worked
at
Jisc
on
video-‐conferencing
projects
› What
is
Jisc?
– UK
NREN
parent
company
– Janet
is
the
TENET
equivalent
– Jisc
runs
services
and
development
programmes
in
all
areas
of
technology
and
tertiary
education
› What
do
I/Jisc
know
about
video-‐conferencing
and
education?
– Quite
a
lot!
3. What
is
Video
enabled
collaboration?
Teliris
Express
Telepresence
conference
» Anything
that
involves
collaboration
and
video
(but
may
also
include
other
things)
» From
Telepresence
to
the
desktop
» Room-‐based
conferencing
» Desktop
conferencing
» Web
conferencing
» These
things
are
now
converging
–
mobile
is
here
» The
goal
is
a
system
that
spans
from
web-‐conferencing
to
Tele-‐Presence
» How
to
join
things
up?
» Interoperability!
Desktop
Conferencing
using
Vidyo
4. What’s
wrong
with
conferencing?
» The
room
is
booked
out
or
locked
» The
support
people
have
gone
home
» The
equipment
is
out
of
commission
» There
is
echo
on
the
audio
feed
» The
screen
only
shows
tiny
thumbnails
of
participants
» The
network
is
up
and
down
and
the
video
quality
makes
this
system
unusable
» I
can
conference
from
a
room
but
why
can’t
I
join
from
my
laptop
or
cell
phone
or
iPad
at
my
desk,
or
at
home
or
from
anywhere
in
the
world?
» I
want
to
easily
share
content
from
whichever
device
I
am
using
» Etc…

5. Video-‐conferencing
» Parts
to
this
presentation:
› The
changing
landscape
of
video-‐conferencing
› Meeting
the
needs
of
South
African
Higher
Education
› TENET’s
plans

6. Jisc
Project
conclusions
» There
are
considerable
benefits
accruing
from,
and
opportunities
for
more,
virtual
meetings
» Virtual
meetings
don’t
always
replace
travel
› new
uses
› stimulating
contact
» Considerable
CO2
benefits
for
all
› largest
element
in
research
intensive
universities
is
(long
haul)
air
» Air
travel
generally
dominates
CO2
equivalent
travel
» But
overall
business
benefits
are
mainly
related
to
short-‐medium
distance
travel
air
travel
» Best
maybe
to
target
UNPRODUCTIVE
travel?

8. “Legacy”
conferencing
» Otherwise
known
as
H.323
or
SIP
or
standards
based
» The
old
way
–
expensive
room
based
systems
and
heavy
duty
back
end
processing
» Betrays
its
telecommunications
roots
» Only
now
waking
up
to
the
growth
of
demand
for
mobile
and
desktop
conferencing
» Easy
to
use
(relatively)
» Limited
functionality
beyond
video
and
audio
(e.g.
content
sharing)
» Vendors
include
Polycom,
Lifesize,
Ayaya,
Cisco,
etc.
» Business
–
not
education
focused

9. Web
conferencing
» The
other
end
of
the
spectrum
» Content
is
king
–
so
presentation
is
centre
stage
» Video
and
audio
not
usually
as
well
done.
Lack
of
echo-‐cancellation
can
cause
really
bad
problems
» Good
for
push
–
webinar
or
where
interaction
is
not
so
important
» Examples
include
Adobe
Connect,
Cisco
Webex,
Blackboard
Collaborate
and
Big
Blue
Button
(open
source)
» Doesn’t
really
move
off
the
desktop
to
enable
bigger
groups
to
interact

10. Consumer
and
desktop
clients
» Skype
› Great
for
one
to
ones
and
presence
› Network
parasite
› Can’t
interoperate
with
anything
else
» FaceTime
› Apple
only
» Lync
› Part
of
the
MS
Office
stack
–
so
on
a
lot
of
desktops
› Replacing
traditional
telephony
–
soft
phones
› Can
interoperate
with
many
other
systems
› One
to
watch

11. “Modern”
approaches
» These
use
variants
of
the
SVC
extension
to
theH.264
video
compression
standard
(Annex
G)
» Sends
a
base
layer
which
is
enough
–
and
then
enhancement
layers
as
the
circumstances
dictate
» Traffic
goes
through
a
media
router
–
but
the
decoding/encoding
is
done
intelligently
on
the
end
points
» Endpoints
get
the
resolution
and
detail
they
can
handle
» Advantages:
› Efficient
low
cost
infrastructure
–
backend
is
much
cheaper
than
traditional
MCUs
› Excellent
network
resilience
-‐
copes
well
with
variable
bandwidth
situations
› Real
time
adaption
–
constant
tailoring
of
what
gets
sent
to
each
end
point
› Flexibility
» Gateways
to
H.323/SIP
world
are
available
» Lync
and
Outlook
integration

12. Cloud
services
&
Integrators
» But
we
may
still
have
islands
on
video-‐
conferencing
» Enter
the
integrators
and
cloud
services
» But
most
of
these
mean
traffic
going
to
Europe
or
the
US
–
so
not
really
an
option
at
present
in
South
Africa
» Promise
of
any
system
connecting
to
any
system
09/10/14
TENET
12
13. Some
emerging
themes
» Software
endpoints
and
infrastructure
› Much
cheaper
› More
flexible
› User
provisioned
and
launched
» Cloud
based
offerings
–
pay
for
what
you
use
» Desktop
and
mobile
–
connect
from
anywhere
» Unified
communications
–
presence,
IM,
telephony
and
video
» The
right
tool
for
the
job
» Video
in
browser

14. So
what
to
use?
» What
do
you
want
to
do
› Teaching
and
learning
› Research
collaboration
and
coordination
› Outreach
› Administration
» What
does
you
have
in
your
university?
› Rooms
› Desktop
» What
can
you
get
access
to
via
the
cloud?
› Some
of
the
new
approaches

Developments
» Old
offering
was
a
farm
of
MCUs
and
a
rather
clunky
booking
service,
along
with
a
dreadful
desktop
client
» Some
advice
and
guidance
on
purchasing
and
use
» Quality
assurance
of
endpoints
» But
use
was
patchy
and
seemed
mostly
directed
at
schools
» Some
heavy
use
in
colleges
with
multiple
sites
» New
Platform
incorporating
Vidyo
for
desktop/personal
and
Cisco
MCUs
for
H.323/SIP

16. VIDYO
» Best
of
breed
(IOHO)
» Scalable,
modular,
flexible,
configurable
» Mostly
virtualised
» Good
traction
in
research
communities
(CERN,
SKA)
» Desktop
and
web
client
› All
participants
can
share
content
» All
registered
user
get
a
virtual
meeting
room
» Room
systems
» Gateway
to
H.323/SIP
» Pay
as
you
use
pricing
model
» API
and
SDK
allows
for
custom
intgration
options

17. Vidyo
at
CERN
» CERN
needed
to
scale
V-‐C
capabilities
» Traditional
V-‐C
was
way
too
expensive
» Settled
on
Vidyo
» 20,000
user
accounts
» Routers
in
many
locations
(one
coming
on
line
in
Cape
Town)
» Over
800
concurrent
connections
at
peak
» Cool
graphic
here:
http://avc-‐dashboard.web.cern.ch/Vidyo
» CERN
asked
TENET
to
provide
hosting
for
Vidyo
Router
for
SA
use

19. Vidyo
at
SKA
» Needed
to
expand
video-‐conferencing
hugely
» Existing
and
emerging
H.323/SIP
technologies
were
difficult
to
use,
and
very
expensive
and
were
not
good
for
the
desktop/mobile
» Trialled
other
systems
(Zoom,
Blue
Jeans),
as
well
as
consumer
level
applications
(Skype,
Google
Hangouts)
but
came
down
for
Vidyo
» It
is
planned
that
South
African
end
of
SKA
will
use
Tenet

20. Vidyo
Infrastructure
» Portal
(VM)
› Authentication
and
licensing
› Tenant
set
up
and
Admin
– Capable
of
handling
multiple
tenants
(i.e.,
one
per
university
or
even
more
finely
grained)
» Router
(VM)
› Intelligent
packet
switching,
so
no
decode/compose/re-‐encode
overhead
–
tailors
video
feeds
to
match
each
end
point
abilities
› Up
to
100
concurrent
users
per
router
» Gateway
(Vidyo
hardware)
› Link
to
H.323/SIP
systems
» Replay
(Vidyo
hardware)
› Recording
and
streaming
server

23. Possible
model
of
provision
» Pay
as
you
use
model
› X
Rand
per
named
user
who
uses
the
system
in
a
given
month
– Don’t
for
forget
that
users
can
invite
guests
who
do
not
count
towards
that
number
of
users
– Cost
per
user
decreases
as
number
of
users
grows
» TENET
will
provide
virtual
machines
to
run
most
of
the
infrastructure
and
buy
some
Vidyo
kit
(Gateways)
› Institutions
can
manage
their
Tenant
areas
–
connect
to
LDAP
and
AD
» Support
within
office
hours
» Training,
familarisation,
evangelism
publicity
materials,
etc
» This
is
not
“Rip
&
Replace”
–
your
H.323
investments
can
co-‐
exist
and
will
reach
a
whole
lot
more
people
› Also
–
you
can
easily
bring
your
Lync
users
to
the
party

24. Who
will
use
it?
» Admin
› Split
sites
› Cross
institutional
organisations
» Research
collaboration
› Project
management
» Teaching
and
learning
› Video-‐conferencing
everywhere
› Record
sessions
or
stream
to
wider
internet
› Role
here
for
Web-‐conferencing
– But
probably
not
Adobe

as
cost
implications
are
worrying
if

25. And
finally
–
some
words
of
advice
» Local
Network
Configuration
needs
to
be
stable,
and
in
particular
firewalls
need
to
be
correctly
configured.
» Room
systems
need
to
be
properly
configured
including
network
and
routing
settings.
» Meeting
rooms
need
to
have
good
acoustics
and
good
light
» Provide
good
quality
audio
play
back
in
rooms
» Laptop
/
PC
/
mobile
users
need
to
have
reasonable
spec
hardware
&
preferably
headset
and
microphone
(although
Vidyo
has
built
in
echo
cancellation)
» Laptop
/
PC
/
mobile
users
can
connect
using
only
a
web
browser,
but
get
more
functionality
if
they
install
the
Vidyo
client
before
connecting.
» Test
the
setup
before
a
meeting
starts,
not
when
the
meeting
is
supposed
to
start
» However
good
the
hardware
is,
bandwidth
across
the
internet
will
always
be
a
limiting
factor,
however
latency
is
even
more
critical.
» User
familarisation
and
expectations
are
key
–
make
sure
people
understand
how
to
use
the
system
and
kit
