Research Design Approaches for Social Media
Topic: Research Design Approaches for Social Media
Date and Location: 9月16日(二)2:30~4:00 大勇樓207教室
Speaker: Prof. Lorna Uden
Before analyzing various types of data collected from different social media platforms, it is critical to carefully consider the research design. A well-structured design helps ensure proper data collection, maintenance, and recording, which in turn facilitates the subsequent analysis—especially when working with large groups. Equally important is the establishment of a shared understanding of research design approaches.
