Documents and Website Content as Data Sources for a Qualitative Study

Documents and Website Content as Data Sources for a Qualitative Study Websites and social media sites can provide important sources of data that will help expand your understanding of the stakeholders who are connected to the phenomena you are exploring. Walden has devoted an entire website to making visible its actions and activities about social change. At the social change website, you will find videos, annual reports, text, and images. As you explore this data source, consider what text, images, and reports you would like to include as part of your data analysis exercise. To get this work done: Choose one of the three social change literature review articles and review the article in detail. ( It may be an article of your choice but not older than 2013) Explore the Walden Social Change website and locate an additional document, video, or webpage that will inform your understanding of the meaning of positive social change. Reflect on any additional sources you find. Next, write an analytic memo based on the information you gathered from the Walden social change website and any other documents or websites that might inform your changing impressions about the meaning of positive social change. Finally, review the media programs related to coding and consider how you will use this information to support this paper. Note: In your Excel Video Coding template there is a tab for your website data. Use this tab to place your content and codes for the website. With that write a brief explanation of your understanding of the meaning of positive social change thus far.
