Associate Professor Tatyana Dumova, Ph.D., served as a respondent at the Virtual Conference of the International Communication Association, part of the annual convention in Phoenix, Ariz., held May 24-28.
Dumova's role as a respondent included providing commentary on research papers and engaging in asynchronous discussions with virtual presenters and attendees. She has since published a conference report reviewing the state of virtual conference technology.
"Although totally replacing face-to-face conventions with virtual conferences is not yet on the agenda, there is no doubt that virtual conferencing, especially in the hybrid form, will continue to grow due to the level of flexibility and the numerous benefits they provide to participants," wrote Dumova. "Virtual conferencing is an efficient and cost-effective technology that provides an alternative to location-based meetings and has the potential to alter the future of conferences, conventions and trade shows."
At Point Park, Dumova teaches applied mass communication research methods, technology mediated communication, communication theory, technology and culture, and multimedia.
"It is important to keep pace with technology," she said. "I will use this knowledge of the latest developments in virtual conferencing technology in my classes to provide students with real-life examples."

Am hoping the secret project includes your delightful whipped cream cake frosting. I just passed the torch of making wedding cakes to the next generation - my last one was Daniel's, our youngest son, on New Year's Eve. And I want the birthday cakes in our future to have your lovely frosting on them - thanks for all the wonderful ideas!
I love reading your blog - posts of your creativity and see your kids grow. I miss you.
Now, I am trying to figure out what B--k is. Best wishes with everything you are setting out to do.
I miss you and hope our paths will cross again soon.
Shelly, everything looks wonderful. I love the skirt, blur and all.
Jane, I had practically forgotten about the whipped cream frosting - thanks for the reminder...guess that was more of a hot weather treat and we haven't had much hot weather here lately! I'll see if I can work that one in. Congrats about Daniel's wedding!
Chimge, it's great to hear from you! Thanks for the Christmas letter, your baby is beautiful! 
Emilie, thanks for the luv - hope you and your family are feeling better!
 Glad to hear though that my kids aren't the only ones who seem to ENJOY fussing at each other (I didn't get my Christmas wish either, sigh).
Hazel's skirt is SO cute and seems to be able to roll with the punches as well.
If you would like to add me to your reader's blog list, I would be honored.
What a lovely Christmas it looks like you all had (despite the shrieking, of course).
I love the skirt twirling especially, lovely!
I'd love to be linked to as a devoted reader - you can find my ramblings at tempestahoy.blogspot.com.
hope you and your family are feeling better!It’s so easy to get busy with day to day life and never fully embrace the space you live in! Particularly if you rent an apartment and have to keep your walls bare of colour. We’ve put together a few tips and tricks to help boho your home so you’ll be feeling those gypsy vibes in no time!
Changed the vibe completely with loads of colours, fabrics and some lush greenery.
Layering fabrics and cushions to create interest on a simple modern lounge has given it new life.
The key to creating a bo-home is to ignore trends and instead finding things that speak to you!
For indoor plants, we suggest fiddle fig leaf, devil’s ivy and ferns as they are all fairly hardy indoor plants but if you are uncertain, head to your local nursery and talk with the staff about what is right for you.
Create your own eclectic collection of Objet D’art to place around your home. It could be items that have significant meaning to you that you have collected on travels, photos, art or simply something you stumbled upon!
Beautifully draped throws, vibrant and colourful pillows with elaborate embroidery, floor cushions and more can make even the most modern space suddenly feel like a gypsy den! Don’t worry about matching things, in fact you will create more interest in a boho room by having more contrast.
Wall weavings, dream catchers and hanging planters will make those plain walls talk, which is especially good if you’re a renter. Splash a bit of colour about with embroidered chaklas as wall art and hang a toran above the window or doorways to make every day feel like a celebration.
Bring the indoors outside with embroidered cushions, vibrant throws and quirky wall hangings on outdoor furniture. Just be sure to have somewhere to store it and keep it safe from the elements when you’re not using it.
Bedding is a great place to explore contrasting yet complimentary linens, and get experimental with textures and weavings.
Create a bedroom that invites relaxation with piles of cushions and soft lighting.
Incorporate as many natural elements into your home as you can, such as wood, glass, stone, ceramics, shells, feathers, and thoughtfully place them throughout your rooms.
Personal touches, like your favourite vinyls, books or accessories, go a long way to making a space truly your own.
In the day, the more natural light you can bring into the space, the better. In the night though, it’s all about moody diffused lighting. When in doubt, add a salt lamp! These are great for absorbing excess moisture in a room too.
Have you got a favourite hobby like reading or playing an instrument? Create a nook to read or play that will inspire you and you can escape to, day or night.
We hope you’re feeling inspired to create your very own bo-home. Don’t forget to share your beautiful results with us via the #treeloves hashtag on Instagram so we can appreciate your work!<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: Add multiple test app examples to show Nav UI SDK component custom styling
