ETUG -> ETUG Spring Workshop 2014 - “20/20: Reflecting on the Past; Looking to the Future” -> What were you doing in 1994?

by Sylvia Currie -

Awhile back when members of the ETUG Steering Committee were chatting about the ETUG 20th Anniversary celebration, Amanda Coolidge had [yet another] brain wave. How about setting up a virtual face wall? So we did -- on Pinterest. Now it's time get your stuff on the ETUG 20th Anniversary Face Wall!

Here are some guiding questions:

  • Where were you and what were you doing in 1994?
  • In your view, what is the most significant educational impact since 1994?
  • ... the most significant technical impact since 1994?

Steps:

Option 1:

Have or want a Pinterest account? Follow the board and we'll follow you back + give you access to post to the wall.

Option 2:

Post your stuff elsewhere -- as a reply in this thread, on your blog... anywhere you'd like. Tweet the link, use the #etug hashtag, and we'll pin it!

SCoPE: Seminars -> Qualitative Online Interviews: 1 - 16 May, 2014 -> Fair & Good? Ethics & Quality in Online Research -> Webinar Recording: Fair & Good? Ethics & Quality in Online Research

by Sylvia Currie -

For those who missed today's webinar or wish to revisit, here is the recording. 

It was an excellent overview! I pulled out a few comments/questions from the text chat, mostly related to the 4 challenges presented.

Cristina Miguel: Is it ethical to use a personal account to do research?

Cristina Miguel: My study includes 3 case studies: Badoo, CouchSurfing, and Facebook and I created academic account in all of them, but I decided to keept using my CouchSurfing account because I have a good reputation in the network...I did interviews...and I'm going to do user profiles analysis

Sylvia Currie: Cristina, your comment about reputation makes me think that it also becomes more authentic if you use your own identity

Faye: I too am going to do (email) interviews. I was planning to do an Information Sheet rather than the long IC form.

Sylvia Currie: I like the suggestion not to think of informed consent as a barrier but as an opportunity to have clarity about what you're collecting

Sylvia Currie: Thinking about email interviews... I wonder if we can ever be confident that it's been deleted from server.

Faye: That [email] is not something either I or our University IRB thought about/required. Gmail is encrypted for transmission, receipt and sending-- if deleted from the account, wonder about the server. How could that be found out-- if actually deleted from the server?

Cristina Miguel: I did only 2 online interviews... I conducted my interviews face-to-face... I found participants opened up more face-to-face... I used the Badoo chat to conduct these 2 interviews

Cristina Miguel: What would you say it is the best online ethics source?

Faye: Does your book cover email interviews?

Janet Salmons: Yes the book covers all kinds of interviews online and related observations
