Reflective discussion Evidence and Research, and the move to digital.
Completion requirements
INSTRUCTIONS: Before the Collaborate Session please consider these questions, and suggest answers in the forum.
How would you characterise research use in your field of work?
Everyone describe 2 examples of different uses of research and evidence you are familiar with (provide links, documents etc), and comment on:
- Which of Weiss’s categories would you put these in? Why is evidence needed, why is research conducted and who pays for it?
- What is considered legitimate evidence in this field of use, and how is it contested?
- How is evidence presented to different stakeholders?
Discuss how is 'digital research' and born-digital data starting to be used as evidence in these areas of use? What value does it add over existing sources? How is it's use legitimised?
