The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

What are Wordles?
www.wordle.net is a free online tool for people to create
graphics from text they upload.
3. What’s in a Wordle? Mcromeroriera@gmail.com
Interesting features for language teachers:
• More frequent words are increased in size.
• Common words (the, and, of, etc.) are excluded by default, although they can
be included if the teacher wishes so.
• The ‘randomize’ feature creates new versions of a particular text instantly,
making it easy to make a number of different wordles for a text.
• You can customize colous, for instance, if you want mostly grey with one bright
colour to highlight a certain word.
• You can restrict the number of words which can appear to 30, ensuring that all
the key words are large enough to be legible, really useful with long texts.
• You can simply print a number of versions of a text for the class or you can also
publish the graphic into a web page (click ‘publish to gallery’).
• You can also save your wordle as a pdf file.

5. What’s in a Wordle? Mcromeroriera@gmail.com
Possible activities:
1. It is a quick, easy way to make short texts and word lists look funny.
2. Students could summarize the plot of a reader.
3. Ask students to recreate sentences from the wordle: Sentence pattern.
4. Provide them with wordles from a text that will be read in class or for
homework. The aim is to make the students curious about the content of a
text, so that they will read it with more concentration when it is handed out.
5. Use a wordle to pre-teach important vocabulary from a text.
6. Look at the wordle: What is the text about?
7. Collocations and phrasal verbs: Make students find the verbs which usually go
with a certain noun, since wordles allow the frequent collocates of the word
to appear around it.
