Laughing Men and Data Libertarianism

This post is about hacker activism, disruption and social iconography. Images used in this article are without permission, serving their profound duty as another link in the chain of hacker identity proliferation. Today’s news about Jack Dorsey’s Twitter account hack drew my attention to Chucklingsquad. I’d not heard of them before and of course their hacking exploits are designed first...

Ok, we got here, so where do we go next?

Inspired by Trevor’s FB post 5/8/19. He’s watching the Great Hack and is ruminating on behavioural modification, achieved via smartphone ubiquity, attractiveness, addictiveness and so on. Wendy chimes in with good points about advertising since the C20. I’ll take some quotes from each and raise my own points. I’ll begin at the end, where Wendy says “We need to understand...

Learner Experience Variables

This post discusses an idea I’m working on as part of further implications arising from the PhD. The idea is the potential to develop learner experience variables data values that could be used to help machines see more complex kinds of learning experience present in digital interactions and learner generated content within emerging technology mediated smart learning contexts. In turn...

NVivo and categories of quotes

This post briefly describes my experience of using cases and classifications in NVivo, to help form categories of data. In my research I use phenomenography methods, but any qualitative analysis would benefit from this. I’m only a beginner, so probably have a lot more to discover in this technique. Ive investigated using cases and classifications with attributes to compile the...

The World At War

When we were kids we’d watch The World At War, a hugely popular documentary series on TV, narrated by Laurence Olivier. Anyone of my generation will have seen this, we will all remember the authentic grainy black and white footage of the second world war, scenes of total devastation, thousands of refugees traipsing across icy wastelands escaping occupied territory or direct...

Tips for Transcribing

This article outlines my experience of transcribing 24 interviews with international participants, all speaking in English. Interview duration is between 35 minutes to 60 minutes. As part of qualitative research many of us end up with lots of interviews. The number of interviews needs to be controlled depending on the size of the study, and the chosen methodology, but we...

Let’s talk about phones

I’ve just upgraded my phone, so thoughts about phones have been in my mind, on a personal level as well as the research. I’ve had a fair few phones over the years but this article isn’t about my historic ownership of phones so I won’t go into the awesome BT fold up phones of the mid nineties (though they were...

The Moment of Clarity

Another in the series of posts on analysis of data and finding clarity I’d covered my floor with printout tables from a variety of papers to help conceptualise how I would achieve what I was supposed to achieve. I didn’t know what I was really supposed to achieve beyond what it should look like. That was the key. I knew...

Radical Candor, Radical Constructivism

In a professional environment it’s difficult to speak out and say what you really think. Often you might wait until bursting point and then everything comes out under the cloud of a bad temper ‘emotional outburst’. You get a reputation for having tantrums, and anything you’ve said gets very likely dismissed without a second thought. I speak from personal experience,...
