They're the most basic technology on the web, but we underestimate just how much links are changing the way we read and write. Links give content creators a way to play with user expectations and give users a way to turn the act of reading into a form of gameplay. We'll discuss how links actually create meaning, how to use them as an artful writing tool, and how all of this is changing the very nature of knowledge in the 21st century. Questions Answered: How can links make your content more engaging? How are links turning the web into a gamespace? What are the best/worst practices for using hyperlinks? What are the benefits of a context-first approach to content? How are links enabling a fundamental shift in how we define knowledge?

The prevalence of virtual-based teams have increased significantly within recent decades as a result of expanding corporate globalization. This rapid growth has exacerbated communication issues within the global virtual team setting. Issues related to poor work-life balance due to variance in work time zones, poor dissemination of team decisions and discussions, and insufficient use of collaborative tools, are common issues within the global diverse virtual team. Challenges exist even in virtual teams that are based in a single region, as differences in functional backgrounds and departmental cultures create challenges which are difficult to address within their virtual setting. Although interdependent constructs appear to be straight-forward and clear, the challenges teams face in accomplishing a shared goal is complex. Research in the area of team dynamics has provided support and guidance on improving interpersonal relationships, communications, and planning; thereby, enhancing team efficiencies. This presentation will review emotional intelligence (EI) and how it relates to the current team efficacy research. The related attributes and challenges at the individual, team, leadership, and organizational level will be reviewed with a focus on enabling the virtual-based team to succeed. With over 16 years of experience as a virtual team member, Christine Loch brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the science of team dynamics. She is currently completing her PhD in organizational leadership at Northeastern University, Boston MA, with a research focus on team dynamics in the virtual-setting. As a past presenter at the national Drug Information Association Conference, and several times a presenter at the national Oncology Nursing Society Congress, Christine brings an engaging presence on this captivating topic, which will leave the audience with at least one new pearl of wisdom to try out on their own virtual-based teams at home.

The past decade has seen seismic shifts in how we create and consume content. Think Company’s Principal and Senior Experience Designer David Dylan Thomas illuminates 7 key aspects of those shifts and how they enable previously under-served voices to be heard. We’ll learn how emerging business models make it both more AND less problematic for content creators to make a living. We’ll learn which stories can be told that could never be told before and how mass participation births new art forms. Examples from the worlds of film, television, music, social, transmedia, and areas we don’t really have a word for yet will help content creators, strategists, and those who build platforms for them understand how to prepare for and profit from the future. We’ll also discuss the following questions: How has the lowered cost of technology been good and bad for creators? How can new business models completely change the game for diversity in content creation? Why do you need to learn everything you can right now about participatory culture? David Dylan Thomas has developed digital strategies for major clients in entertainment, healthcare, publishing, finance, and retail. A senior experience designer at Think Company, he serves as programmer for Content Strategy Philly, founder of Content Camp, a content strategy instructor at Girl Develop It, and previously consulted at the Corzo Center for the Creative Economy.

Speaker: Marilyn Woelk Presentation Description How do you create marketing materials for technical products or services while considering the normal technical communications mantra to avoid the soft, flashy advertising approach? If you work in a job where the marketing team and the technical communicators are often at odds or where most marketing materials are viewed as "not intended for technical audiences," then join us to talk about how the "Technical Communicator and Marketer Can Be Friends," or in some cases, how one person can take on both communication roles.

So your company has decided to take its documentation mobile. Great! But just saying “go mobile” is too vague. Is it an app? Responsively designed online help? A mobilized web site? Something else? What effect might going mobile have on your documentation efforts? That’s the subject of this presentation. We’ll first look at various definitions of “mobile” including apps, responsive design, mobilized web sites, and more – their pros and cons, and tools you can use to create them. We’ll then look at how you might have to change your documentation practices in order to move to mobile, such as requiring greater syntactical rigor, eliminating local formatting, using relative fonts and media queries to create resizable tables and content, and more. You’ll leave this presentation with a solid understanding of options for going mobile and how your work may have to change to stay on the cutting edge of technical communication.

GitHub is a web-based repository for software projects that uses Git as a repository. GitHub is reportedly the world’s largest open source community, hosting over 35 million repositories that include both code and the documentation for that code. In addition to the public version of GitHub, companies can adopt GitHub Enterprise internal use, so it is gaining popularity for private repositories as well. Docs aren’t siloed in GitHub — they live with the code, follow the same workflow as the code, and are reviewed with the code, which is especially useful in an Agile environment, where docs are part of the “definition of done.” GitHub includes version control, issue tracking, notifications, diffs, status dashboards, documentation, and social features. All of these features are useful when developing and managing documentation in a GitHub project. Technical communicators have other opportunities to contribute in GitHub, including commenting on, reviewing, and merging proposed changes and managing the wiki community. In this session, we’ll learn about these features, GitHub terminology, and about documentation workflows in GitHub.

Presented by David Zimmer As project managers, we spend 90% of our time communicating: writing, talking, presenting or reporting to our stakeholders. One of the most influential forms of communicating with our audiences is in a public setting, whether it be a formal presentation, meeting, a gathering of people around the coffee machine or wherever more than two people congregate. Public speaking done well enhances our credibility, leadership, influence and reputation. Public speaking done poorly puts us back in the pack of the other average people. David has learned over the years that simple tips and tricks used by some of the best speakers work for him, whether he was with an informal group of colleagues, in tense meetings with stakeholders, or as a keynote presenter at large industry conferences or as the invited speaker for the CIO briefings of executives from the leading companies in Australia. In this session, David helps you understand critical aspects of public speaking and provides his secret tips and tricks making you a more influential speaker.

Public Speaking Skills: A Project Manager’s Best Friend

STC-Philadelphia Metro Chapter

By David Zimmer It seems epidemic. In meetings, in job ads, in performance reviews and even in lunch conversations, we discuss our need to increase our critical thinking skills. Some use the term “critical thinking” in a general sense meaning all problem solving approaches. Others refer to the specific thinking modality of critical thinking. Unfortunately, we miss eight thinking modalities equally important when solving problems, developing new concepts or simply living life. In this session, we provide an overview of the 9 thinking modalities, their characteristics and differences, and demonstrate their approaches to an example problem. From this session, you will: Learn the 9 Thinking Modalities. Understand the characteristics and differentiators of each modality. Recognize appropriate uses of each modality. Learn how to overcome the Critical Thinking monopoly.
