7:25 Move to your groups. 

Reading to be done beforehand: 

Mills: Chapters 3 and 4

Focus: Chapter 3

• Observations
  • pgs. 50-55
• Interviews
  • 55-61
• Document mining
  • 61-65

We have arranged the groups so that no one is with his or her team members tonight -maybe.   Please present to the others your plans for data collection.  Leaders, we'll suggest the following format.

• First have each person present brief plans for interviews, observations and document mining.
• Discuss the value of each format following the presentations.
• Have a recorder capture to Word, a web-authoring application or a simple TI note.

Scaffolds for data mining: Extracting themes

• Look over this set of clustered interview questions (7K pdf) and this interview log (12K pdf) and observe the format. These are simply scaffolds for you.
• If you have time, skim this transcribed interview (80k pdf). This is the long version, and it is very time consuming. Sometimes this needs to be done to establish themes as you will see. Themes can be established successfully, however, using the interview log format above. 
• Finally, here is a set of field notes (23K pdf) based on an observation in a computer lab. Once again, you can see the initial themes extracted from the data.

Add any final discussion comments to your recorder's notes.

8:30 Take a break.

8:45 - 9:15  In preparation for the final discussions tonight, check the remainder of the agenda for the evening.
