Why interview? : Why interview? In-depth interviews are about obtaining specific information that later will be analyzed (Rubin & Rubin, 2005).
Qualitative interviewing tends to be seen as involving the construction or reconstruction of knowledge more than the excavation of it (Mason, 2002). “Research questions that explore an online phenomenon are strengthened through the use of a method of research that closely mirrors the natural setting under investigation” (Geiser, 2002). Why interview online? Covered in Chapter 1
Researching the Internet vs. Researching on the Internet : Researching the Internet vs. Researching on the Internet Internet as subject of inquiry Internet as means of inquiry Use the Internet to study online behaviors, trends, attitudes, styles of usage, etc. Use the Internet to communicate with research participants about any aspect of lived experience. Covered in Chapters 1 & 4

Visual Research: Unique Potential : Visual Research: Unique Potential Questions, after all, raise some profound issues about what kind of knowledge is possible and desirable, and how it is to be achieved. For example, do all questions have to be made in words?
- Michael Pryke, 2003
The world told is a different world to the world shown.
- Günter Kress , 2003 Covered in Chapter 8
Visual Research Typology:What can you do with ICTs? : Visual Research Typology:What can you do with ICTs? Transmit visual images. Image or media files, links to images posted on a server or website, or images captured in the moment are sent to the other party during the interview.
View visual representation of phenomena together: Researchers and participants can view photos, graphics, artifacts, or media during the interview.
Navigate in a visual virtual environment. Observe and experience websites, software applications, or 3-D virtual environments.
Generate visual images. Access shared tools that allow researchers and/or participants to create drawings, diagrams or visual maps, snapshots or videos.
(Salmons, 2010, pp. 171-172)
Visual Research Typology:How could you use visual methods in online interviews? : Visual Research Typology:How could you use visual methods in online interviews? Visual elicitation refers specifically to the process of using visual stimulus to draw out a verbal or a visual response.
Visual communication describes the use of images to communicate abstract concepts, relationships between concepts or data, or examples of research phenomena.
Visual collaboration to either stimulate new thinking or create responses in relation to visual representations of the research phenomena.
(Salmons, 2010, pp. 172)
Visual Elicitation : Visual Elicitation Images are transmitted by researcher and viewed together. When you are making a charitable gift, would you choose to help in a global emergency,
remedy a problem like homelessness in your community,
or sustain
local arts organizations?
Why?
Visual Elicitation : Visual Elicitation Images are transmitted by research participant,
viewed together. Take pictures representing your experience
of your school…
Visual Collaboration : Visual Collaboration To stimulate new thinking or create responses in relation to visual representations of the research phenomena.
