Masters of Mobile Data: Maximizing the Lifetime Value of App Users
Aaron Price, SVP of Marketing, Expedia
Aug 30 2016
63 mins
Join us for Part 3 of this compelling 4-part series on mobile data. After all, it's not news that when it comes to apps, consumers can be very fickle, engaging for one download and then abandoning the app. In many ways, an app marketer's real job only begins after the install. Boosting engagement metrics and increasing the lifetime value of app users is what really matters more than ever.
A compelling value prop and smart design are necessary but not sufficient to keeping people engaged. You also need to apply data and technology on an ongoing continuous basis to strengthen and sustain your user relationships, and in turn boost the LTV of the average app user by extending both their "lifetime" and their value. Furthermore, being proactive about managing churn, and retargeting users outside of the app itself, can mean the difference between success and failure.
Join this exclusive VB Live event as experts from retail, hospitality and on-demand services demonstrate how to:
* Use the right technology to maximize LTV of app users
* Optimize each user engagement to avoid app abandonment and churn
* Learn acquisition-engagement tactics such as: pre- and post-install segmentation, organic growth, retargeting and reward-based acquisition
Speakers include:
* Aaron Price, SVP of Marketing, Expedia
* Rob Willey, VP of Marketing, TaskRabbit
* Jillian Burnnett, Director of Customer Success, mParticle
* Stewart Rogers, Director of Marketing Technology, VentureBeat
* Wendy Schuchart, Moderator, VentureBeat

Is Agile Dead?
Will Iverson
Aug 29 2016
80 mins
Is Agile Dead?
In an industry that loves the buzzword, none seems to be thrown about as often as Agile. Agile's principles and process are broad, and the term is frequently misapplied, but the benefits of agile can't be understated - eliminating "Waterfall" development, reducing risk for companies that adopt it, and creating a good work and team dynamic for developers worldwide.
Nowadays, though, simply being "Agile" doesn't fully enable rapid and consistent delivery of software at scale. True agility doesn't only arise from process, it also needs to be supported by tools and methodology. The core best practices from the Agile Manifesto still hold.
- Ship often
- Talk to product / business owners
- Pivot when needed
A modern development team will always benefit from holding these tenets. However, unless you have a good Continuous Delivery framework behind your development team, you may find that you're working harder than you need to to meet demands in today's environment.
In this seminar, Dev9's Will Iverson will discuss the process and tools that can help to make sure that "Agile" actually provides you and your team with a solid delivery strategy, instead of just a nice label. We'll discuss how you can automate and accelerate the parts of the process that drag teams down and increase cost. If Agile is dead, what it needs is a resurrection, not just an autopsy!

The Role of FPGAs in SparK Accelerators
Shreyas Shah, Principal Data center Architect, Xilinx
Aug 29 2016
61 mins
In the cloud computing era, data growth is exponential. Every day billions of photos are shared and large amount of new data created in multiple formats. Within this cloud of data, the relevant data with real monetary value is small. To extract the valuable data, big data analytics frame works like SparK is used. This can run on top of a variety of file systems and data bases. To accelerate the SparK by 10-1000x, customers are creating solutions like log file accelerators, storage layer accelerators, MLLIB (One of the SparK library) accelerators, and SQL accelerators etc.
FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are the ideal fit for these type of accelerators where the workloads are constantly changing. For example, they can accelerate different algorithms on different data based on end users and the time of the day, but keep the same hardware.
This webinar will describe the role of FPGAs in SparK accelerators and give SparK accelerator use cases.

Introduction to Parallel Testing with JUnit, Selenium & Sauce Labs
David Drake, Solutions Architect
Aug 29 2016
66 mins
At Dev9, we love to solve complex challenges, and we love learning new technology while doing it! One of the biggest challenges today is managing the explosion of test cases which must be executed repetitively as a result of combinatorial test factors. Some of these factors include...
- Multiple browsers (varying by version, operating system, desktop & mobile)
- Self-updating browsers
- Multiple languages & locales
- Different branding on similar sites
It's easy for all of these factors to result in an explosion of testable combinations. How do you describe these combinations, queue them for execution, and link them to test results in your continuous integration server? How do you design it to be extensible and maintainable?
In this presentation, we will discuss our real world techniques for combinatorial testing with Selenium and JUnit, leveraging on-demand resources from Sauce Labs. We will describe successes and challenges encountered along the way. We will discuss concrete problems (and solutions) encountered in Selenium framework design for both a major retailer with multiple simultaneous brand launches, and performance testing involved in the successful launch of a new consumer device used by millions.

Don't Buy the Healthcare IT "Snake Oil"!
Marion Jenkins, Healthcare Technology Partners
Aug 25 2016
26 mins
Recently the president of the American Medical Association referred to healthcare IT as the "snake oil" of the 21st century. He referenced ineffective electronic health records, an explosion of direct-to-consumer digital health products, and apps of mixed quality.
In this webinar, leading healthcare expert, Marion Jenkins, will cover the major causes of this sorry state of affairs, and discuss how healthcare technologies can actually help medical practices deliver better patient care.
Major areas to be covered:
1.Who is to blame? There is plenty to go around. Physicians? Healthcare IT vendors? The government? The solution must get past blame and address solutions.
2.How can clinical users and executives "break through" the logjam of sub-optimal IT systems, poor implementation, and ineffective workflows?
3.Is it possible to utilize new technologies to improve patient care, without breaking the bank and further hurting the clinician/patient experience?
4.What are the necessary changes that enable technology to actually provide benefit in a healthcare setting?

Using your Load Balancer for Application Performance Monitoring
Ashish Shah, Director of Product, Avi Networks
Aug 25 2016
47 mins
Load balancers occupy an important position (in the path of application traffic) on the enterprise network. Yet, traditional application delivery controllers (ADCs) are unable to provide meaningful application insights to drive business decisions. Avi Networks' software-defined architecture for load balancing separates the control plane (management layer) from the data plane (load balancers) to generate continuous insights about applications.
In this 30 minute presentation from Avi Networks, learn how you can get rich analytics and actionable insights into end user experience, application performance, resource utilization, security, and anomalous behavior. See how you can benefit from:
• A "Network DVR" to record and replay traffic events to pinpoint app issues
• At-a-glance view of all virtual services throughout the system
• Real-time visibility into DDoS attacks, SSL versions and ciphers used in transactions
• Health scores that give you immediate feedback on application performance

Gain a Holistic View of User Experience in an Omnichannel World
Bryan Whitmarsh - Sr Principal Product Manager, CA Technologies
Aug 25 2016
55 mins
It's a paradox that too many tools and too much data can actually lead to not enough insight into what is really going on with your users' experience across web, mobile and wearables. To best improve your users' digital experience you must be able to observe users from an outside-in view. With the end user's experience top of mind you are able to make experience focused improvements in design, development, and performance across various channels. Equally important is to have the inside-out view to find and fix problems fast. Finally, it's is critical to have an integrated view of both outside-in and inside-out analytics.
In this webcast you'll learn:
•How to understand the experience of all of your customers across mobile, web and wearables
•How to identify and address problems that can impact user experience even at times when you have no active users
•How to monitor user experience in conditions where security or other concerns prohibit direct end-user monitoring
•How a holistic view of user experience can help you see wide and deep: across all channels and from end to end

Masters of Mobile Data: Harnessing Mobile to Drive Omnichannel Success
Brian Kim, VP of Media & Acquisition, Dollar Shave Club
Aug 17 2016
61 mins
In part 2 of this compelling Masters of Mobile Data series, you'll learn that there's no such thing as a smartphone user, tablet user, or web user. Rather, it's the same user who hops between the different experiences. By the same logic, there's no point in developing a "push messaging" strategy when what you need is a holistic communications strategy.
How are some companies able to use mobile as part of a broader customer engagement strategy, when so many others struggle to even get mobile right within its own silo? How are these marketers able to know what's really working, taking into account all of the various multichannel effects that drive people to the app and from the app into transactions that occur outside the app, using real data, not guesswork.
Join our group of experts from retail, ecommerce, and travel as they review what works and what doesn't when it comes to omnichannel success.
In this webinar you'll learn:
* How to think about mobile apps versus the web, and the role of mobile in the wider customer journey
* How omnichannel marketers integrate user preferences and profile information across multiple sources
* Mobile strategies that work in an omnichannel environment (hint: it's more than in-app messaging and email)
* Techniques for leveraging user-knowledge to personalize messages across channels

Big Data Innovation – From Experiment to Production
Matt Aslett - 451 Research Director, Data Platforms and Analytics with Aali Masood, Senior Director, Oracle
Sep 1 2016
4:30 pm
60 mins
Big Data projects offer the promise of generating value from previously ignored or under-exploited data. Many enterprises are looking to take advantage of new data sources and combine that with the wealth of information they already hold about their customers, their business, even their competitors to develop new innovative applications and services, such as:
· combining data from devices, sensors, customers, and analyze that in real time to react better and faster (example, location-based services)
· pursue new opportunities in an adjacent markets – for example selling predictive maintenance services to the buyers of your products
· accelerate time to market – for example identifying the most valuable customers and launching special programs to boost loyalty
Innovation from Big Data is driven by experimentation to uncover new markets or data-driven products and services, as well as trying out new business processes, searching for new insights, and testing new hypotheses.
However, a well-planned integration strategy is essential to putting this innovation to work in production business environments. The innovation may take advantage of new platforms, but to be taken into production it must work smoothly with existing systems and processes. No matter where the innovation came from, enterprises still need to access data, and figure out how to make it scale. This will involve not only the technology team, but business and strategic leaders as well.
Join Oracle and 451 Research for a webinar exploring how to take advantage of big data opportunities by coordinating innovation and production. It covers how to manage rapid development in an environment with minimal control—together with the ability to migrate innovation into a production environment to support real-world needs that are constantly changing.

The Social Future of Virtual Reality
Alice Bonasio, Technology Author and Journalist
Sep 13 2016
10:00 am
45 mins
VR is sometimes perceived as an isolating technology, where the user is cut off entirely from the real world in order to be fully immersed in the virtual one. Yet this doesn't take into account how much of our lives are lived online, and how our identities and relationships are already built in connected virtual worlds. The Internet and social media have transformed every aspect of society by connecting people in ways that were previously unimaginable. Virtual Reality will build upon this interconnectedness, while at the same time making those connections much more compelling, meaningful and emotional. This introductory webinar will look at the unique aspects of the medium and ask how VR content producers can best leverage them to engage their audience.

Everyone knows what a huge success Pokemon Go has been - combining Augmented Reality with GPS location tracking. We can also see the impact of personalized ads "following us" when we visit different websites online... But how will we feel when we start seeing personalized location based marketing in the 'real' world, as Augmented Reality starts to change the way we experience supermarkets, high streets, and even getting around on public transport?
Join us as we speak to two highly regarded experts in the world of Augmented and Mixed Reality:
- Nik Badminton - Futurist & CEO at Design:Culture:Mind
- Simon Gosling - Creative Evangelist at Happy Finish

VR in Education: Moving the Classroom to Mars (and other field trips)!
David Burden - CEO, Daden Limited, an immersive learning and visualisation company
Sep 13 2016
2:00 pm
45 mins
For years, even decades, people have talked about how virtual and augmented reality and technologies could be used in the classroom, but it is only with the current wave of consumer VR devices that there is in schools on a large scale is becoming practicable. But to be effective we need to understand the pedagogic basis on which such technologies can be used, and provide the tool for teachers to be able to create their own VR experiences tailored to their own students.
This presentation will look at the scope for the use of VR technologies in schools, describe some of the pioneering systems, and summarise the pedagogic underpinnings of VR use. It will then describe the Fieldscapes system as one example of a VR authoring system that will allow educators to create and share VR content, and how for the short-medium term a mix of VR and non-VR usage will need to be supported in order to cope with school ICT budgets, issues and concerns and different modes of use in and out of the classroom.

The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue & Frame Story
by Geoffrey Chaucer
Analysis: Booker's Seven Basic Plots Analysis
Christopher Booker is a scholar who wrote that every story falls into one of seven basic plot structures: Overcoming the Monster, Rags to Riches, the Quest, Voyage and Return, Comedy, Tragedy, and Rebirth. Shmoop explores which of these structures fits this story like Cinderella's slipper.
Plot Type : Comedy
Shadow of Confusion
Chaucer describes the Pilgrims gathered at the tavern in Southwark.
So many of Chaucer's pilgrims are not what they appear or what, in a perfect world, they would be. The Pardoner pretends to be a holy man intent on saving souls with his relics; in reality he's a money-grubbing liar. The Friar should be living a life of poverty and chastity; instead he's living the high life with rich people and whores. The darkness that is oppressing the pilgrims is no one person or figure, but rather a general state of sinfulness.
Pressure of Darkness
Various conflicts erupt between the pilgrims on the course of the pilgrimage: The Miller gets drunk and interrupts the Host's proposed order of tale-tellers; the Miller's tale offends the Reeve, who tells a tale that offends the Miller. The Pardoner and the Summoner take cheap shots at one another and tell tales to offend each other.
The pilgrims' pride and sinfulness brings them into conflict with one another as the pilgrimage progresses. The 'felaweshipe' that is the goal of any group of pilgrims eludes these ones despite the Host's and others' best efforts to ensure it, because these pilgrims' sinfulness puts them into a state of division.
State of Joyful Union
This doesn't really happen in The Canterbury Tales because the work is incomplete. The "resolutions" of the various conflicts that occur between the pilgrims are not really resolutions at all, just containment of anger that's still present because sinfulness is still present.
Since the pilgrims never arrive at Canterbury, which is where their sins would be cleansed, they never reach a state of joyful union. The whole point of a pilgrimage is to receive absolution for your sins and thus, perfect union with God. This perfect union with God would also lead to perfect union with your fellow Christians. The pilgrims would at last be able to achieve perfect fellowship. But since we never get to see them reach Canterbury, we never get to see them in a state of joyful union.

Columbus, Ohio (AP) -- A teacher's legal bid to get copies of the standardized tests for Cincinnati Public School freshmen has flunked.
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled 5-2 Thursday that the exams are protected trade secrets, exempt from state public records law.
High school teacher Paul Perrea began in 2007 seeking copies of tests evaluating ninth-graders at the end of each semester.
He said he wanted to have the exams evaluated for fairness, accuracy and validity.
Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger wrote for the majority that Cincinnati Public Schools spent more than $750,000 developing semester exams and has gone to great lengths to guard their secrecy.
Teachers aren't allow to make copies.
The court says making them open records would allow student access, leaving them with little value in evaluating student progress.

When Hannah Dalglish '16 was considering summer internships, her sociology professors encouraged her to seek an experience abroad. She took the advice to heart.
Not only did she create her own opportunity at an organization that helps HIV and AIDS survivors in Cape Town, South Africa, but she also confirmed her postgraduate aspiration.
"I wanted to get out of my comfort zone at home," said Dalglish, a Barrington, R.I., resident. "My advisors, professors Hyun Sook Kim and Karen McCormack, encouraged me to find an internship abroad. They truly were the first push that I received to begin looking abroad."

Skill Level Beginner
In this lesson we are going to adjust the training file that was created when we recorded our simulation. We will be using the contact_training file to do that. If you don't have it open, please open it now. When Captivate records trainings, it creates click boxes for all of the places that you click. In addition, it builds success and failure captions and it also builds text areas. We need to make some adjustments in order to make our training more effective. Let's begin with the audio on slider number 1.
Select the audio and then choose Edit Audio from the Properties panel. If your Properties panel isn't available then you can get it by switching to the Classic workspace. I know because I edited this audio when we edited the demo file that I need to remove this area over here. I'll position my cursor and drag to the left and then remove the audio. I can use my Delete button or my Cut button to do that. Now that that's gone, I'll save and close.
Now I need to adjust the duration of the slide. Select the click box and drag it all the way back to where the sound ends. And then do the same with the slide. Let's scroll down to the middle of the screen. Captivate has created for us a click box and a hint and failure caption. We need to adjust both the captions and the click box.
The captions should say "Click the Name field." Let's change that now. Select the hint caption, double-click, and type Name field. Do the same with the failure caption. Hit Escape to cancel editing the text. Now reduce the width of that caption.
Do the same with the other caption. Select them both and drag them to the right a little bit more. There we go. Now we need to adjust the size of the click box. Select the click box and make it to be just a little bit bigger than the Name field. We have to increase the size of the click box because the user's expectation is that they can click anywhere on the name field to be able to enter text.
Captivate builds a very small click box, which is right around the area where you click. Let's move now to slider number 2. On slider number 2, we have some typing text. We need to remove the typing text and replace it with a text entry area. Select the Typing Text in the Timeline and then right-click and replace it with Text Animation. Now hit the Delete key to remove the text animation. Yes, we would like to delete the selected items.
We need to draw a text entry box on the name field. Use the Text Entry Box tool to create a text entry box. In the General Properties, we need to remove Validate User Input. We also need to remove the Hint Caption and the button. Scroll up to see the text entry box. Let's call the text entry box Name and we will associate it with a variable.
The associated variable will be called Name. Type in Name and click OK. Now let's put that text entry box so that fills the Name field. Let's reduce the size of that text so that its Myriad Pro 12 points. We can do that in the Character area of the Properties. The last thing we will do is to adjust its duration on the Stage.
Before we do that I would like to remove the typing in this audio right here. Select the audio and edit the audio. Drag to the right and I know that there's typing here. Let's remove it. Click-and-drag and then delete. Now that we have made the change, save and close. We will reduce the slide duration to match our audio. We also need to extend the text entry box so that it lasts for the entire slide.
Select it and then extend it to the end of the slide. We need to move its pause point all the way to the end of the slide as well. Scroll down to Timing and adjust Pause After to match the display duration, which is 3.6 seconds. Now let's go to Slide 3 to see how we can use this information that we have just captured in the Name field. You can see that there's already a name that's in the Name field.
This is because Captivate makes screen captures as it goes along and James Lockman was the name that was in that field when it captured the screen. We are just going to cover it up with a white rectangle. Select the Rectangle tool and draw a rectangle that we will use to cover up the text. Change the Fill to white, and solid white and the Stroke to 0. The last thing we need to do to bring the information from the previous slide to this slide is to create a new caption.
Change its Style to transparent, reduce the Size of the type to 12 points, and make it left-hand justified. Let's drag it onto the Name field now. We need to reduce its width to be the width of the Name field. The last thing we need to do with this caption is to fill it with a variable called Name. Double-click, select all with Command+ A or Ctrl+A, scroll down to Format, and choose Insert Variable which is the X here.
This is a user variable we are looking for and its name. We will set its maximum length to 30 and click OK. The steps that we've just taken for Slides 1, 2, and 3 will need to be repeated for the remainder of the training. While this may seem tedious, the results are very satisfying. Let's take a look at the results of the first three slides. We will preview the project to see the results. (Recording: In this training, we're going to learn how to use the Two Trees Olive Oil Company form to reach out to Kurt James.) (Recording: Browse to the Two Trees Olive Oil Company web site and then click on Contact and then Kurt James.) (Recording: That will take you to this form.) (Recording: The first thing you've got to do is enter your name in the name field.) (Recording: Although it's not required, it's a courtesy that Kurt will appreciate.) Now the program has stopped and it's waiting for us to click in the Name area.
Move your cursor over the Name field. You can see that the hint caption pops up that says "Click the Name field." Click somewhere else, however, so click out in this area instead. The failure caption will pop up reminding you to click the Name field. Now click the Name field. Select the Name field and then type your name. Now the program is waiting for some entry from us. I will type a totally different name and then Enter.
Next, we need your email address. Select the Email field and then type your email address. You've noticed that the James Lockman name has reappeared. It has reappearede because we need to extend the white box and that text caption to fill the entire slide duration. Now that you know what you need to do, I'm going to leave it to you to make that change. Let's exit our preview and save our project. We will call it contact_training_a.
As you can see, there are several steps that you'll need to take to turn your Captivate training recording into a proper program. Although it may seem tedious now, you'll get into the swing of it and be very productive before you know it.

For years we'd heard about the giant burgers at Grover's.
The behemoths are so famous that in 2009, Food Network superstar Guy Fieri (spiky bleached blond locks and all) featured them in an episode of "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."
Obviously, the jig is up.
Grover's (once the site of Grover Cleveland's hunting lodge) is small. "Standing Room Only" was the case on a recent Friday night. Find the chalkboard, add your name, stand and wait.
The highly efficient staff keeps things rolling, but alas they cannot help the "hangers on" tying up tables. So we waited -- and waited -- for an hour. But the atmosphere was cheerful, drinks accessible, so it was no big deal.
The burgers, on the other hand, are a big deal.
Glance in the teeny kitchen to see the giant beef cakes sizzling away on a griddle that conserves the juices and -- gasp -- lovely fatty flavors. Nonbeef items (chicken, turkey, tuna, etc.) and even fish fry-ish stuff on Fridays appear on the menu, but when in Rome, why would you eat Chinese?
We were at Grover's for the beef.
Burger prices range from plain ($7.59) to ($9.95) with Swiss, cheddar, blue cheese and bacon combinations. The Cattleman (bacon, cheddar and barbecue sauce) clocks in at $8.95. Grover's Best Hang-Over ($13), a prime steak sandwich, and double jumbo wings ($13.95) are the highest-priced menu selections. Salads run $3.95 to $9.95. Most intriguing was the Grover's Garbage Salad ($9.95), mixed greens tossed with pickles, tomatoes, onions, cheese and fries.
But what better prelude to a burger than a cup of Cheeseburger Soup ($3.25)? Whenever cheese enters the soup arena, we fret. The "gloppy" quotient multiplies. Grover's, however, deftly avoids the disaster. Delicate chunks of burger in a creamy, tangy (but not salty) soup were as Fieri proclaimed "a liquid cheeseburger."
Equally delectable was Friday's New England Chowder ($3.95 a cup) -- a good amount of clams in a flavorful, silky cream.
The wagon wheels of meat ("manhole covers" a la Fieri) that showed up next, were almost overwhelming (but in a good way). Two folks with hearty appetites could easily split one.
"Groverburgers" are 12 ounces of fresh, 90 percent certified Angus beef. No frozen patties here. Lacking a handy Acme school ruler, we gauged them to be roughly one inch thick, five inches in diameter.
Vertically, the high-rise created by the hearty bun (Grover's has gluten-free buns available, too) and toppings (lovely green leaf lettuce, red tomato and white onions) required the jaws of an anaconda to consume.
My choice -- the Bruiser ($9.25) -- was described as a "black and bleu burger" with grilled onions.
The burger was perfectly cooked medium rare as ordered, with lots of sweet grilled onions and melted blue cheese to sink my teeth into. Alas my bun was cold, as if plucked from a nearby open kitchen window. Yet the delectable, juicy beef made up for it. There was a hint of spicy heat, too. Was this the black? Picked up from the grill? I don't know, but it was delicious. No condiments needed.
The significant other's "Burger of the Week" ($9.95) was Buffalo-style with hot sauce, diced celery (a nice touch) and blue cheese giving it plenty of heat and crunch. After attempting to flatten it down, he gave up, cut and attacked the juicy medium beef burger from all angles.
Friend No. 1 opted for a classic Bacon Cheeseburger ($8.50) that was heavy on American cheese, bacon, and again cooked perfectly medium-well, as requested. A little ketchup and he was good to go.
Friend No. 1's new date ordered a very ladylike Groverburger Salad ($8.95). Thumbs up on the fresh field greens, tomato and onion topped with a naked burger. Thumbs down on the use of packaged Ken's dressings. A few homemade options would be nicer, but perhaps the constant throng of customers just makes the packages easier.
We split a basket of fries ($3.59) and onion rings ($4.25) -- more than enough. The fries were hot, yet rather ordinary. The rings were very good, verging on addicting. Had we not been so "beefed up" we might have finished them.
3.5 pennies (out of four)

Premier Christy Clark said Monday that B.C. has been researching the impact that foreign investment might be having on the local housing market for about a year.
The disclosure suggests her government is more concerned with the role offshore funds could be playing in Metro Vancouver's red-hot real estate market than it had previously indicated.
Clark mentioned the research during an unrelated news conference at the University of B.C. in response to questions about a confidential government document reported on by The Sunday Province.
The heavily redacted "issues note" — obtained by the Opposition through a freedom of information request — was sent to Rich Coleman, minister of natural gas development and housing, last July 13 under the title "Analysis of Housing Market Affordability."
An explanatory email, sent from B.C. Housing to the NDP and also released to the media, confirmed the Crown corporation was in the process of hiring a consultant to "conduct research on this topic."
Asked why British Columbians were hearing of this research project only now, Clark said the government is a "$45-billion operation" that is "doing a lot of things."
In the past, Clark has cited finance ministry data that suggested factors such as supply and municipal development costs have a greater impact on the market than foreign money.
"They (B.C. Housing) have been working on it for, I think, over a year now," Clark told reporters Monday.
"I think the problem ... in understanding what's at issue with affordability and driving up housing costs the Lower Mainland is nobody really has all the information. That's the work that B.C. Housing is going to do."
Housing critic David Eby, whose office released the FOI document and explanatory material, questioned the reasoning behind the apparent secrecy of the research — the B.C. Housing email said it was "premature" to say if the research would be released — as well as the premier's claims that government has been looking into the subject for over a year.
"I don't understand the secrecy — this is one of the most public issues," Eby said.
"A huge number of people in Metro Vancouver raise the issue of housing affordability and international investment as their biggest priority. And the government is on the one hand saying it is not an issue, and on the other hand conducting secret surveys."
Eby said the government should be more transparent in its objectives. And ideally, he said, government should make its research and data on the subject available to academic researchers.
"I think what all of us would like to see is a very comprehensive and independent look at the problem and some experts in the area to recommend solutions," he said. "And we can't get there as long as the government is doing this in secret."
In an email Monday responding to questions from The Province, B.C. Housing said the government requested that the Crown corporation conduct the research through the Industry and Consumer Advisory Council.
It said an "invitational RFP" (request for proposals) had been sent out to "number of economic consultants" for the research project, which is expected to take up to six months.
"Through the Industry and Consumer Advisory Council (ICAC), B.C. Housing will examine housing affordability issues in B.C., particularly the Lower Mainland, to assess reasons underlying rising house prices," the statement read.
"This research initiative will collect existing information and identify gaps to better understand what additional data might be needed to assess the impact of foreign investment."
Clark said additional "initiatives" to "help us understand" the role "non-citizens are playing in our property market" will be released in this month's provincial budget.
