Abstract Details

This presentation will focus on the use of Qualitative Diary Apps to enable researchers in capturing rich, multi-modal, qualitative data.

Qualitative diaries in all forms offer exciting opportunities to uncover and explore the meaningfulness of participants’ lives in everyday situations, reducing recall bias and enabling understanding of events from individual perspectives across time.

As mobile technologies are now prevalent, there are calls from social scientists to draw on research methods that utilise this mobile culture to enable multi-modal data collection on the move. We explore the possibilities, challenges, and practicalities of using Qualitative Diary Apps for data collection.

The level of the session is: Accessible
