This presentation summarizes a research study on user-generated video reviews by hotel guests. The study had two phases: first, collecting over 50 video interviews of guests' experiences at a Toronto hotel to understand preferences for online reviews; second, evaluating whether these video reviews are more authentic, believable and trustworthy than text reviews. Survey results from phase one found that most guests use reviews to select hotels but have not posted one before, and over half would consider posting a video review. Phase two will assess differences between text and video versions of the same feedback to build the case for incorporating video reviews into existing systems.

The Implications of Democratising Insights for Research Ray Poynter
Presented by Ray Poynter, Potentiate and NewMR
50% of insight projects are conducted internally by clients. Research is being democratised, a shift enabled by the explosion in the number of platforms.
Ray highlights the implications of more research being conducted by people who may have less research knowledge, but who have a greater topic understanding (and with the ability to implement results).
Tips and tricks for effective in-app customer research and surveys. This slideshare walks you through the growing importance of mobile research, the questions you should be asking when designing an in-app survey, and a few best practices we've discovered while working with our enterprise customers.
Every study starts with a question. This session at CSUN 2014 started by examining the questions that usability testing can answer. Short case studies illustrate how the right technique will help us know not only what is happening but also why it’s happening. It's an overview of usability testing as a research method, and what you can (and can’t) learn from working with real people as they try to use a web site or other product.

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.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Our Experiment
Research Vision
Video represents a new approach which could
improve existing online hotel guest review
systems.
Research Goal
Our goal is to provide an audio/video alternative
to text reviews and evaluate the authenticity,
believability, trustworthiness and business value
of that alternative system

• 60% agreed that they would post a video
review if it was an option in the future

Observations
• Most participants were familiar with using
touch interfaces, and interacting with a
computer video camera
• No correlation in a guest’s likelihood to use
or post online video reviews in the future
• The theoretical contribution is the
evaluation of the collected data and
analysis to provide content for the second
phase of the study

•(2008) also argues that potential consumers use online consumer reviews as one way to reduce risk and uncertainty in the purchase situation
•Ye, Law and Gu (2009), report that positive online reviews contribute significantly to an increase in hotel bookings
•The results show that overall rating, attribute ratings of purchase value, location and cleanliness, variation and volume of consumer reviews, and the number of management responses are significantly associated with hotel performance. Xie Zhang 2014
•Online reviews have become one of the most important information sources in consumers’ lodging decision 3 making (Ye, Law, Gu & Chen; 2011)
•Consumers tend not to book a hotel without seeking online reviews (Kim et al., 2011).
•For example, 53% of travelers would not commit to a hotel reservation until they read online reviews and 77% usually or always refer to online reviews before choosing a hotel (TripAdvisor, 2013)
