Description
Summary:Digital or online research methods are increasingly popular among students, researchers, and organisations. While these options bring huge benefits and increase research possibilities, there are concerns with how to ensure that research does not increasingly focus on the most 'digitally literate' sections of the population. Increasingly, and accelerated by COVID-19 measures, participation in societies across the globe, including notions of citizenship, democratic engagement, and research practices all assume digital participation. This How-to Guide provides an introduction to key concepts and understandings of digital literacy. It explains why these matters in doing online research. This guide explains how to consider digital literacy and accessibility at all stages of research, including how to set up and design a study, how to ensure your platform is as accessible as possible, how to design appropriate materials, and how to include the digitally 'excluded'.
