DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF MANIPULATIVES / INTERACTIVE MEDIA
Interactive Media – a method of communication in which the program's outputs depend on the user's inputs, and the user's inputs in turn affect the program's outputs. Interactive media engage the user and interact with him or her in a way that non-interactive media do not. Websites and video games are two common types of interactive media.
Interactivity – the communication process that takes place between humans and computer software. The most constant form of interactivity is typically found in games, which need a continuous form of interactivity with the gamer. Database applications and other financial, engineering and trading applications are also typically very interactive.
One area where interactivity is most useful is in online training. Interactivities in this area allow learners to interact with the course in terms of action and/or thinking.

Social Media: Embracing the Opportunities, Averting the Risks WhitepaperElizabeth Lupfer
The "Social Media: Embracing the Opportunities, Averting the Risks webinar" webinar offered insight into business leaders’ views and perceptions on this issue and provided actionable recommendations and advice on the development of social media policies and employee training sessions. The webinar also highlighted the insights gleaned from the recent national study conducted by Russell Herder, in conjunction with Ethos Business Law, on social media trends in the workplace and policy adoption.
Lift Without Loss: New e-retail white paper offers help for tough timesElizabeth Lupfer
Summary: Promotional offers can be effective for increasing online revenue, but they can also cut into margins. An alternative marketing strategy, campaigns based on messaging alone, can increase conversions and boost revenue without the need to discount product prices or shipping charges. In this white paper we share our experiences and lessons learned while creating and managing "zero cost" marketing campaigns on a wide range of commercial web sites.
The Coming Change in Social Media by Social Media TodayElizabeth Lupfer
In a major paradigm shift that is impacting public relations and marketing oranizations, companies are now viewing social media as their front line strategy for customer engagement, immediate contact, and lead generation. This means the software tools we use in the social space will be changing a lot too. This gamebreaker call was based on research developed by our resident trendspotter, Josh Gordon, in Social Media Today's latest free download white paper The Coming Change In Social Media. It's our focus here at Social Media Today to help frame the issues and put them into perspective so that community members can use them as a roadmap and drive the future of social media. Don't get behind the curve.
The presentation touches on what social media is and its potential uses in increasing communication, collaboration and public participation in local government agencies.
Here's my presentation at NewComm Forum 2010: "Social and Entrepreneurial: The Paths to the New Journalism," a look at the fast-evolving journalism and social media landscape, the opportunities for new players, and why the old guard won't survive if they don't make significant changes to their corporate cultures.
Social media is coming of age. Since the emergence of the first social media networks some two decades ago, social media has continued to evolve and offer consumers around the world new and meaningful ways to engage with the people, events and brands that matter to them. Now, years later, social media is still growing rapidly, becoming an integral part of our daily lives. Social networking is now truly a global phenomenon. Source: Nielsen

Embedding Employee Engagement throughout the Employee LifecycleElizabeth Lupfer
I recently presented at Ragan Communications conference on how communications can effect employee engagement. My presentation was a 2-hour workshop on how communications plays a key role in helping the organization shift to today's new work environment and how employee engagement initiatives can be more thoughtfully and strategically embedded throughout the organization by using the employee lifecycle as a framework. This also demonstrates four key principles for consistently applying employee engagement: adaptability, relevancy, sustainability and execution.
Presentation to Using the Employee Lifecycle as Your Roadmap to Employee Enga...Elizabeth Lupfer
This is the complementary presentation to the "Using Employee Lifecycle as Your Roadmap to Employee Engagement" #infographic. Presented by Elizabeth Lupfer at the Talent Management Alliance's Employee Engagement conference in July 2014, this presentation is a walkthrough each area of the employee lifecycle and identifies how organization's can develop an employee engagement framework through adaptability, relevancy, sustainability and execution. If you've realized this spells ARSE, then you've got it. Because an ARSE is the foundation for any successful relationship -- employee engagement and the employee lifecycle.
Using the Employee Lifecycle as your Roadmap for Employee EngagementElizabeth Lupfer
Often times, employee engagement initiatives are managed from many areas within Human Resources or Corporate Communications. These efforts can be fragmented in their approach resulting in decreased relevancy and adoption. Using the employee lifecycle provides framework to these efforts so that organizations can ensure their employee engagement initiatives effectively balance the needs of the business against the needs of employees. Using the lifecycle in your employee engagement approach allows you to define the needs of employees based on each lifecycle area and identify opportunities for engagement based adaptability, relevancy, sustainability and execution. This framework was developed and designed by Elizabeth Lupfer of The Social Workplace (@socialworkplace) in July 2014 and was formally presented at the Talent Management Association's Employee Engagement conference.

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).

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.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.
The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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:
