Managing Qualitative Data from Online Communities
Event box
This workshop will guide participants through thinking about online communities and some of the sources of data for performing qualitative research, primarily digital ethnography. We will discuss sample communities and the data that can be gathered by a researcher about them. Participants will be encouraged to brainstorm about an online community familiar to them and data from multiple platforms or online locations used by community members.
Participants are strongly encouraged to bring a laptop. Laptops are available for checkout from the Library information desk (Pitt ID required); if you will be checking out a library laptop please give yourself extra time before the workshop.
