What IS Content Strategy, exactly?
Great question - so glad you asked! A lot of colleges, universities and other large organizations have style guidelines that tell you what gets capitalized when and how to make a department or a team’s name possessive – that’s useful, but it’s not that.
Many organizations also have branding, web design and social media guidelines – rules for which fonts to use and how to represent the organization on the open web. That’s a little closer, but it’s not that either.
Content strategy is the practice of understanding your users – what they’re looking for, how they’re feeling when they’re looking for it and how they process it when they get it – and crafting a strategy for making sure your content suits their needs.

Kurt Lewin developed the idea that behavior is a function of both the person and their environment. Motivation theories can be categorized as either need theories, which focus on internal factors like needs and drives, or process theories, which examine cognitive processes and goal-setting. Job design models like job enrichment aim to make jobs more motivating by increasing skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback. Organizational citizenship behaviors are discretionary behaviors that benefit the organization and can indicate employee motivation levels. Fostering perceived organizational support, the belief that an organization values employee contributions, can increase motivation and OCBs.

Using Disruption to Stay on Course (for Liberal Education)Rebecca Davis
Today’s news headlines are filled with startling reports about U. S. higher education. Calls for dramatically reduced cost are paired with critiques of higher education outcomes, demands for jobs for graduates, and images of online learning (especially the massive open online course or MOOC) as the new magic bullet that will remake our system of higher education by bringing learning to the masses for free. But what do these developments have to do with institutions that focus on liberal education? How are liberal arts colleges and universities preserving a focus on their key missions and goals during a time of dramatic change in higher education?
This workshop will focus on technology-enabled disruptions challenging the traditional high touch liberal arts model—e.g., the massive open online course or MOOC, blended learning, big data, the globally networked world, etc.—and investigate creative responses that adapt these disruptions in service to the essential learning outcomes and high impact practices of liberal education. Participants will discuss disruptive innovations, examine cases of adaption to the liberal education context, and consider how they might implement such adaptions at their own institutions.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

15. Research // User Quote
“…How do you define a sort of, like,
cultural legitimacy that someone has?
You can't give someone a test and say,
can you answer all these questions?
But like I said, when there are financial
and/or political benefits, you kinda do
have to draw the line somewhere.”
16. Self-identity is
complicated.
Affinity Wall // A card sorting process
Group membership
is exclusive.
A distrust of
federal and tribal
government.
Language is a top
cultural marker.
Social media is
commonly used.
17. Criteria for our solution // Ideation
• Promote use of Ojibwe, the Native American language
• Create a new and inclusive space for a community to
connect with the evolving culture
• Incorporate the habits and preferences of this user group
19. Idea #1 // Ideation
• Visual dictionary
• Counteract or flag
misappropriation
of Native American
culture, language,
and identity
20. Idea #1 // Ideation
• Did not teach
Ojibwe
• One-way
communication
21. Idea #2 // Ideation
Conducted more research on endangered language
revitalization efforts and best practices.
Existing program’s set up:
• Had one fluent speaker paired
with one learner
• Focused on oral learning
• Useful language in daily life
View the lecture, “Two Models of Language Revitalization from California” by Leanne Hinton:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcHrIBmxEWM
What we incorporated in our design:
• Have segments in which Ojibwe
is used exclusively
• Prompt conversation with
culturally relevant material
• Save note taking for the end
22. Idea #2 // Ideation
Built personas & scenarios to sketch a wireframe.
23. Design Defense // Ideation
How do we avoid trolling?
Unlocking the ability to chat requires
a certain level of commitment that should prevent
trolls engaging with speakers.
Who is allowed to use the system?
Anyone. Learners and speakers would be paired up
using keyword matching from their profiles.
This non-intrusive filtering process pushes those that
identify as Native Americans to the front but leaves
the decision of whom to share the language with in
the hands of the speaker.
24. Testing // User Quotes
“Are my notes
private or public?”
“What does
‘leveled up’ mean?”
