This online course is run by the Researcher Academy 

Target Audience: ALL research students and research staff across all faculties.

Description:

This webinar contributes to the Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities series.

Students will learn the basics of how to gather public data from individuals and groups on social media sites (mainly Twitter, but including a discussion of Facebook, Flickr, Youtube, and other sites). 

An external speaker will provide practical examples of how to use a specific social media data mining software package, will show how data is able to be visualised using social science methods and will present ways to analyse this data. There will also be discussions about the ethics of doing this kind of research.

No technical skill required; all those with an interest are encouraged to attend!
