Presenter: Carla Brodley, Dean, Northeastern University College of Computer and Information Systems
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by 2020 there will be 1M more computing jobs than applicants. Contributing to this shortfall is a field that seems to signal, “it’s too late to come to this party” to anyone who didn’t study computer science as an undergraduate.
What’s more, our education system continues to fail to attract women and underrepresented minorities to the field. In 2018 more than half undergrad degree earners were women and a quarter were underrepresented minorities, but only a fraction of them got a degree in tech.
We need a new way of thinking about how colleges and universities can make computer science accessible and attractive to everyone.
In this talk, Carla Brodley, the Dean of the College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University, will present the results of a five-year pilot that is attracting hundreds of students from every background to pursue a Master’s in computer science. Graduates of this program, which started in 2013 at Northeastern’s Seattle campus, are working in top tech firms in the area and are proving that an MS in CS is the new MBA. Northeastern is now working with other universities to adopt this new program to create systemic change in higher ed to address the pipeline problem in tech.

Connect is both the lifeblood of capitalism, and its most volatile competitive field. In this Arena, the mightiest of brands compete – in a state of near permanent transformation – to be the primary point of connection between people, between things, and between people and things. Over the next 100 years, humans will experience the equivalent of 20,000 years of technological advancement. In the Decade of Possibility, changes that once took decades will happen in years – or even months, driving a revolution in the ways people and things Connect. What does this mean for brands? Everything…
Experience may be the best teacher, but how does a team experience accessibility? We generally learn best by doing or feeling for ourselves. An accessibility workshop has the power to bring that immediate sense of understanding to teams – and personal understanding results in better solutions. In this session, Jess Vice outlines why accessibility is a strategic investment. With her expertise in UX and design responsibility, she will walk the audience through a framework for a tactical accessibility workshop to make equitable design a priority for every team.
The Metaverse and blockchain-based tokens sound like nerdy buzzwords but they represent the bleeding edge of new opportunities for brands to cultivate relationships with their audience, from creating new product experiences to building real communities.
Luis will share his entirely subjective view on what's possible here based on nearly two years of immersion in the space (which feels like seven years in web3 world).
You'll hear about:
+ Tapping into an emerging wellspring of creativity
+ Harnessing technology to empower the audience
+ Nurturing environments of authenticity and fascination
+ Leveraging new kinds of data for programmability and insights
The cobbler’s children and their lack of shoes is an overused reference but so handy as a quaint way to say, ‘we’re too busy doing work for other people to focus on ourselves.’ When Tether was founded more than fourteen years ago, a temporary logo and website was hastily created in order to have something to make Tether look legitimate. And, you guessed it, that temporary logo and website became permanent for way too long.
In this presentation, Steve will reveal the process and results of being a good client to ourselves as we created a new face for Tether, including a sneak peek of the new website that will go live in November.
There is a massive shift happening in the social and media space as GenZ and Younger Millennials are shifting their time and attention away from traditional social platforms and leaning into healthier, community-based options. The trust in news and influencers is on the decline, and this is changing the landscape quickly.
From a brand perspective, all of the iOS and Android changes are forcing marketers to rethink targeting, audiences and shift toward interests, passions and other signals.
These two forces (consumer and marketer shifts), along with the economy, are creating the most important inflection point for businesses and people in over a decade.
So some scientists mapped thousands of brain cells....why should you care? Rachel and Jenny tell the crazy cool stories behind the complicated science of the Allen Institute. In this session, you’ll learn marketing, communications, and SEO tips to promote complex topics to your audience. From building relationships with subject matter experts to finding surprising angles that make technical topics approachable, you’ll walk away with new ideas to make any tricky topic shine and to grow your audience beyond just the experts.
As we are in a global market, there’s more to win over international audiences than just translate text into another language or simply updating UI components. Localizing your user experience design is to adapt international products for a specific region to create relevant and appropriate experiences for users. With extensive experience in UX/UI design and visual design for the global audience, Shantelle Liu will share the the matters, the definition, and best practices of localizing user experience design.
History is not simply a chronology of events that happened in a particular order. History is a meticulously curated phenomenon of power. How history is created -and who gets to tell that story- has one of the most significant impacts on our society. But we never talk about it.
In this talk, we’re going to! We will explore how history is constructed and how we can use that knowledge to create the legacy for which we want to be remembered. We will learn about the roles of presence and absence in history-making and how those who leverage those roles often control power. We will also discuss practical ways in which we can all reclaim our personal agency and drive the narrative that will become our lives, our families, and our society.
Learning Objectives:
+ Discover the secrets to history-making that have remained unchanged for centuries.
+ Learn how to actively write your own story in the way you’d wish to be remembered.
+ Take-away four techniques to help harness the power of your own story."
As much as we take photos throughout our lives and now grab screen captures of our connected virtual moments, the tools will converge as we move through the metaverse. The way we capture what we see will change, but our want to remember, interpret (editing), re-imagine (editing!) and share will continue.
Getting people to your website is just the first step. Once they're there, your content needs to keep them engaged long enough to get them to the call to action. The best way to engage readers is through stories, so in this presentation, Alison Ver Halen will provide actionable tips you can use to include stories in your content that demonstrate the value your business provides so your target audience is primed to take your call to action.
The constant pressure on marketers to prove return on ad spend (ROAS) is receiving particular emphasis heading into 2023. Economic headwinds are signaling uncertainty, retail is transforming rapidly as shoppers return to stores after over two years of quarantine and a mainstay of digital advertising — third-party cookies — are continuing to collapse.
The good news is that marketers don’t have to navigate these challenges (and opportunities) alone. Learn how this fast-evolving digital landscape can remake programmatic advertising to benefit marketers and consumers alike. Heading into next year, what trends can marketers expect in digital advertising, and how can they leverage the power of people-based advertising to succeed in the evolving landscape?
Your superpower is developing strategic copy that's grounded in rationale. But when it comes to writing creative headlines, it might not come easy. From left brain to right brain, Brianne will share her journey to enhanced creativity and share four frameworks you can use to get out of your head and write headlines that stick. You won't explore your typical 'how-to' and listicle headlines in this session. Go beyond the surface and walk away with immediately actionable strategies and the confidence to generate a sea of creative headlines for your next copywriting project.
When you started your business you probably didn’t think about all the day-to-day marketing and promotion you’d be doing. You’re not a marketer but you know you need marketing. Outsourcing your social media marketing is great way to establish consistency in your online presence, while allowing you to focus on what you do best — your business. However, a company’s marketing strategy should be integrated into every part of your business to be more effective. Learn how you can bring marketing in-house and build a social media team that can thrive over time.
Website marketing has an altruism problem. While forward-thinking professionals are beginning to understand that successful websites are built for humans, too many of us are still trying to ""game the system"" to stay in Google's good graces. Decision-makers have been burnt by cookie-cutter agencies and frustrated by strategies that don't seem to spark movement. The key to accelerating and future-proofing your online presence is in rethinking your SEO program to involve more teams, inform more decisions, and bring the focus back to your users.
In this session, you'll learn:
+ How to think beyond page titles and meta descriptions to design a modern, sophisticated website strategy
+ How to tell whether your SEO agency is worth the price tag
+ How to maximize your investment in SEO by removing silos and adopting a 360-degree perspective"

Are you still manually managing granular campaigns, but your ROAS are dropping? With the progress of Artificial Intelligence over the past few years, machines can now predict trends and make automated decisions in real-time. With this, it is crucial for advertisers to explore this new modern approach. By making the shift from overly segmented targeting and using too many keywords, to a simplified and more efficient account structure, you’re allowing machine learning to work to its best ability. In this session, Ashley Royalty, Director of Add3SHOP, will discuss modern practices and full-funnel activations that helped transform brands like IT Cosmetics, Nuun, and Elemis into million-dollar assets.
As the market has become saturated with advertisements for consumers, leaning into pop culture has proved to be the key to standing apart, especially since 38% of people consider brand involvement in pop culture either important or very important. Still, many brands opt to stay on the conservative side and avoid taking big (albeit culturally relevant) risks. When The Narrative Group took a seemingly “boring” product like yogurt and made it bold by championing the sometimes controversial “cannabis holiday” with Harmless Harvest’s “Harmless Hits Different” Pack a Bowl campaign for 4/20, they were met with 168M earned media impressions, 11M influencer impressions, and record-breaking sales. The success continued with their “thirstiest summer” campaign promoting their coconut water, tapping into “thirst traps” and recognizing “the thirst is real” with their consumers, and logging over 3M impressions in the first 3 months alone. Rebecca can share why bold, culturally relevant, and sometimes “risky” ideas can lead to the most successful campaigns.
At the end of this session, the audience will be able to:
+ Understand what “brand swagger” is and how you can use that confidence and boldness to boost your brand and campaigns
+ Navigate and find the right threshold for trying new ideas that still align with the brand
+ Develop a strategy to connect to an audience who “gets it” - building trust with your current audience but also expanding to new ones
The Metaverse will require more content than we can realistically build manually, and it will need to be dynamically generated, personalised and completely interactive. This talk focuses on two groundbreaking projects: Creating an entirely AI-generated and interactive TV show and our inevitable future of 3D streamed media, specifically interactive streamed volumetric sports broadcasts. Adam will show how both projects work under the hood with live demos of the technology and breakdowns of the key points. Components include procedural cinematography, shot evaluation, ML pose estimation, dialogue and narrative synthesis, touch interactivity, intuitive UX and the challenges of streaming huge amounts of content to mobile devices. You’ll see what will hopefully be the very first, fully AI-generated TV show running 24 hours a day and never before presented versions of the latest Metacast technology, transforming how media is broadcast.
Have you ever wondered how to learn a new craft? In this session, Tiantian will share her knowledge on mastering a new craft using the 100-day-project format. You will learn about how to set up a daily routine, apply deliberate practice, and eventually become a better designer in 100 days.
As the amount of personal data we produce continues to grow, so does the sophistication of the technology used to collect it. However, this ever-expending ecosystem of customer data is becoming so complex that few people actually understand how it all works, creating a widening divide between the data haves and haven-nots. To level the playing field, we’ll explain how customer data is used for personalization and targeted marketing in words that even a 5-year-old can understand—literally. In this session, we’ll tell the story of Parker, a data manifestation who travels through the strange world of the digital information on a journey to find his way home. Along the way, we’ll explain concepts like Customer Data Platforms (CDPs), predictive modeling, data on-boarding and more. It’s a story the whole family can enjoy, including technologists, marketers and privacy advocates.

With increased digital media consumption, comes increased expectations. Brands are challenged on a daily basis to share engaging visual media across all social channels. In this imagery-driven environment, we have seen video come out on top as the most valued type of content. While video is expected to continue to grow, another major consideration is the increased importance of personalization. Personalization requires brands to look at content differently. How do you scale the required content while meeting the personalization needs that brands are looking for? This talk will discuss strategies that brands are using to localize and personalize content as it becomes an increasingly crucial element of consumer engagement and loyalty.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Solving the Tech Pipeline Problem | Seattle Interactive Conference 2018
1. Solving the tech pipeline
problem:
The Master’s degree in
Computer Science
as the new MBA
Carla E. Brodley
Professor & Dean
Northeastern University – College of Computer and Information Science
4. U.S. High Tech Workforce Challenges
• By 2020 the U.S. Bureau of Labor projects 1M more computing jobs than
applicants
• A large part of the problem is an education system that fails to attract
women and underrepresented minorities (URM) to CS
• Women: > 50% of BS/BA degree recipients and 18% of BSCS
• URM: 25% of BS/BA degree recipients and 10% of BSCS
• If we can close these gaps, we will not only address a major economic
issue, but also a major issue of social equity and inclusion
5. Four Key Observations
• Only 25% of MS in CS 2016 graduates nationwide were domestic students
• Current MS programs (which require a BS in CS) are either geared for
PhD preparation or designed to generate revenue from foreign students
hoping to win the H1B visa lottery
• Code academies do not prepare our workforce for leadership positions and
we do not have time to wait for our K-12 programs and undergraduate
programs to solve these challenges
• 1.8M people graduated in the US last year without an undergraduate
degree in CS
7. The Align MS in CS
provides a 2-
semester on-ramp
for people who
studied something
other than CS
8. After Completing the Two Semester Bridge,
Students Choose One of Three MS Degrees
9. Experience: 6-8 Months of Real Work
• This is part of Northeastern’s famous co-op program; the College of
Computer and Information Science has partnerships with over 450
companies
• On average students earn on $35,000 for 6 months
• Co-op alleviates the fear factor and provides powerful inroads to
companies that might seem too intimidating to approach for students
making a career transition
• Increases job prospects – both with experience on their resume and
because many students receive an offer of permanent employment from
their co-op company
10. Location: Designed for In-Market
Settings in Tech Hubs Across the U.S.
San Francisco
2018
11. Commitment: Our Program Takes 2.5 Years
and All Classes are Offered in the Evening
• Evening classes allow students to keep up with other commitments; the
majority of our domestic students have a part or full-time job which
supports their living expenses
• Classes run year-round to shorten time to graduation
• In contrast to an undergraduate degree, our program develops leaders in
tech in 2-2.5 years
14. Northeastern has the capacity to dramatically
scale this program to produce 1,000+ graduates
per year whose demographics reflect those of
the population (50% female and 25% under-
represented minorities)…thereby increasing
diversity of race, gender and thought in the US
tech workforce.
15. In partnership with the NSF in 2016, we have demonstrated
that the key to attracting women and URM is a first semester
scholarship to help make the leap into CS
16. A First Semester
Scholarship…
• Ameliorates the financial risk to the student (retention after
second semester is 99%; all graduates have $100k+
salaries)
• Encourages students to try CS and will ultimately (because
of our retention rate) ensure that we do not contribute to

Placements at These 47 Companies
• Our tech company partners tell us that the Align masters program produces graduates
that are vastly better equipped to succeed than “boot camp” code academy graduates, for
whom they only have a limited number of openings
• They find the diversity of thought that stems from coupling an undergraduate degree in
another field together with an MS in CS an exciting employment opportunity

Hi Catherine. Nice to meet you too. The list is still mostly accurate with a few additions:
Coral Docs (a start-up founded by one of our grads who used to work for Comcast Tech Solutions) – Co-Founder
Nordstrom (now has 2 grads there) – Software Engineer
Simba Technologies, A Magnitude Software Company (1 grad) – Computer Scientist
TecAce Software Ltd. (1 grad) – Software Engineer
You may want to remove the Comcast Entry on the slide as the grad at Coral Docs left the Comcast position to co-found the company.
