Ethnography

Tried to do the ethnography in Storify but it meant uploading all the headings and screen shots to flickr, which was incredibly fiddly and time-consuming. The pdf format, while not what I originally wanted, as least does the job!

It is therefore quite a flexible approach – and one that might suit a study where there is a group or community of interest, but not yet a clear idea of what the most interesting elements of that community are.’ (Bhatti) https://edc15.education.ed.ac.uk/champton/2015/02/17/an-ethnography-usually-starts-with-a-very-open-ended-question-and-that-question-may-well-change-as-the-participant-observation-brings-new-ideas-to-light-it-is-therefore-quite-a-flexible-approach/ https://edc15.education.ed.ac.uk/champton/2015/02/17/an-ethnography-usually-starts-with-a-very-open-ended-question-and-that-question-may-well-change-as-the-participant-observation-brings-new-ideas-to-light-it-is-therefore-quite-a-flexible-approach/#comments Tue, 17 Feb 2015 06:28:13 +0000 http://edc15.education.ed.ac.uk/champton/?p=376 from Facebook
