Success Showcase: Online with Lawns, Gardens and Trees
See how the NDSU Extension Lawns, Gardens and Trees team created and shared content via blogging and posting to their Facebook page during the 2013 spring and summer seasons. Analytics showed significant gains in Facebook Likes and page visits to the blog, after they made a concentrated effort to blog and post great content frequently.
Getting the Most from Your Facebook Page
1. This document provides tips for county extension offices and departments on using Facebook pages effectively. It emphasizes using a Facebook page rather than a personal profile to represent your office and ensure continuity over time.
2. It reviews the key aspects of a Facebook page like profile photos, milestones, and building an audience. Content is important, and the document suggests sharing timely information, staff spotlights, links to publications and more.
3. Resources for creating engaging posts with photos, videos, polls and more are provided. Scheduling posts and interacting with other pages is also covered. The goal is to help offices make the most of their Facebook presence.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
