Getting to know others with a shared interest has always been an important part of one’s professional life. With social media on the rise, there are new and effective ways to engage. This session will review ways to help build your personal brand, giving you a jump on making a splash in your career of choice!
Presentation made in conjunction with Career Services at the Heller School at Brandeis University.
Personal Branding is how you share and market yourself to others.
A brand is created when people connect images, emotions, stories, experiences and expectations with a person or company. Therefore, your name and what people associate with it, determine what your brand is.
Your personal brand is comprised of three C’s:
Connections – anyone with whom you have a relationship or a connection. Your connections include your friends, family, colleagues, clients, customers and fans.
Content – the information, language, images, and design associated with your brand that exists through word-of-mouth stories, printed and digital materials, public profiles, websites, traditional and social media (articles, blogs, video, audio, etc.).
Commerce – the money that you earn from goods or services sold under your brand name.
Connections build reputation. Content builds trust. Commerce builds a business. Put all three together and they create your brand.

Virtual Learning Communities of Change
Using Web 2.0 tools educators can network with others around the globe extending traditional boundaries of ongoing, learner centered professional development and support. See concrete examples of how the tools that support Virtual Learning Communities (VLCs) are being used and how to create supportive, reflective communities of practice around school-based goals.
A presentation I did for Leduc County on how municipalities can use social media. I provided some background info about how communication is changing, what social media is, which channels to focus on, and how some other cities are using social media.
With advent of the internet and global connectivity, the way business is done is changing, the way we utilize the people and their potential is changing, the way we interact with people is changing. Nobody is a stranger now and we are connected to one another with the network of networks.
Virtual Communities are interaction platforms for the new age millennials and beyond. The presentation explores different dimensions of establishing and fostering such Communities and the way their potential can be harnessed for the process of co-Creation.
Total learning: Communities - Learning through Knowledge SharingBrightwave Group
Communities - Learning through Knowledge Sharing by Nancy Kinder, Knowledge Management and Community Coach at FeverBee
Facilitating the growth of your learning community is an
essential skill for an L&D professional.
Nancy parts with her expertise so you can enable your community to engage meaningfully and in turn build strategic relationships for your organisation.
These are the slides for my presentation at WebContent 2010, Building and Running an Online Community.
The presentation is about a a few of the practical issues you'll run across when thinking about an online community, such as:
* When should you open your site to members
* How to set and enforce community guidelines
* What sort of features to build
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
