Name Online Research Ethics: Challenges and Opportunities
Organized by NCRM, University of Southampton
Where Building 39, University of Southampton, Highfield, Southampton, Hants
 
From 09.06.2016
To 10.06.2016
Description This course will address the ethical implications of using digital methods in research. It will help participants to design and implement ethical online research projects. The course will include theoretical and practical workshops that will apply ethical and legal standards to different digital research scenarios.
 
The course covers:
  • Ethical challenges and opportunities that the various sources of digital data present including for example: social media, blogs, forums, user comments on websites, tracking apps, and so on.
  • Ensuring online studies comply with requisite UK regulations
  • Moving beyond the ethics application form: how to be an ethical researcher throughout the whole of your research.
By the end of the course participants will:
  • Be able to demonstrate their ability to design ethical projects that use digital research methods
  • Understand the ethical challenges associated with digital research
  • Have the confidence overcome these challenges
  • Be aware of the research opportunities digital environments can present
 
This course would be useful to anyone undertaking online research; however, it will be tailored to meet the standards of research governance offices and institutional ethics committees, and beyond. It would most likely benefit postgraduate and early career researchers, government researchers and researchers new to online research and digital methods, primarily from the disciplines from social sciences and humanities.
