Branding is a "squishy" word in higher ed that often gets conflated with identity or branding components. This presentation helps enunciate what brand is, shows examples of how Mt. Holyoke and other institutions support their brand in key areas on the web, and provides some testing examples to help you measure how well your creative work is delivering the messages you want your audiences to understand. Presented at HigherEd Web 2009 by Doub Gapinski, mStoner, and Patricia Vndenberg, Mount Holyoke College.
This is a presentation for new principals in the Chula Vista Elementary School District on the topic of communication. It touches on vision, leading change, decision making, meetings, and presentations.
Feeling the future: how emotions help us design for tomorrowYasmin Borain
In the world that is increasingly divided, people are demanding more. As customers and communities adapt their everyday lives, we look to understand their needs and behaviours – but what about understanding their emotions? This vital design dimension is often ignored and yet, as designers, we are ultimately responsible for connecting with people by making them feel!
How do we bring a sense of emotion to emerging technologies and products to create more meaning and bring humanity back into our interactions? We design experiences that are as layered as us humans.
Building connection - both real and virtual – is the foundation. Let’s use Emotional Design to embrace the change we are facing today and make the world a better place through creativity tomorrow.
Join Yasmin and Greet as they explore what emotion will look like in tomorrow’s world and how this will impact design by pushing us to look beyond.
Little Rock Tech Fest - Change your questions change your worldAllison Pollard
At a critical moment in history the world pivoted because people began to look at things from a different perspective. They stopped asking themselves, “How do we make our product large enough for people to see?” and started asking themselves, “How can I make my product more visible to the public?” When we change our questions we get entirely different outcomes. Questions are powerful tools in the hands of agile teams that can help people discover innovative solutions that have been locked inside waiting to be released into our products! Join Allison for a high-energy workshop that teaches how questions can be used to help a team learn, grow, and break through thought barriers. Learn what makes certain questions provoke more thought than others and how to make your questions more impactful.

Our world is completely wired and often we cannot see the real connections that seem invisible.And it's not only young people who spend hours using social media every day,but more and more grown-ups are joining social media sites for a variety of motives. Even the Pope tweets. In this presentation I explore questions about social media, faith and education and share two frameworks for evaluating how students, teachers, and others create content and consume it. The T.H.I.N.K. strategy is easy to learn, apply and share with even young children.

Engagement, not Outreach: Using Equity to Empower All FamiliesLesley Williams
We know we serve a diverse family population, in terms of race, socio-economic level, education and language. How do you balance competing needs to achieve equity? How do you engage all members of the community effectively and avoid common barriers to accessing resources?
Person centered planning is the fulcrum idea behind services to people with disabilities, and yet it is often misunderstood - to the point where sometimes people refer to it as "the perversion of person centeredness" - one way to make it meaningful is to break it down into elements and break those down to see what means what and what might be done to make those parts mean more. This is a version of a presentation that was given at TASH 2013 and at Cornell University as part of their Citizen Centred Leadership webinar series.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.
