- 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJqf0_Nt1hM (Ricki)
- 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BObOQHvvFQThis video illustrates and graphs the process in creating a research question. The researcher should brainstorm – choose a topic that is interesting. The researcher needs to dissect or breakdown the topic into subareas. The next step is to raise questions. There are the 4 P’s in research: People, Problem, Program, Phenomenon. This will lead to formulating a question to assist in finalizing the research topic. (Renata)
- 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enA29lrcMT0This video explains the challenges and ways in finding the best research topic. The presenter states that there will be challenges in the distinction between existing and new knowledge. The researcher needs to focus on the gaps in the knowledge on the topic. Finding gaps is hard because it will require a lot of reading. Time is limited when finding the topic. Disagreement in the knowledge gaps lends itself to allowing the researcher to choose a topic. (Renata)

Creswell used examples such as Al Gore’s documentary and sports to explain qualitative and quantitative research and how it can give more insight to the research. Collecting and analyzing information in both the qualitative and quantitative frame can lead to a broader framework. (Renata)
- 7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb70vhcCf8w
This video describes theorists different views of interviewing in the past, present, and future. The past way of interviewing assumes the objective knowledge is prevalent. The present is seen as a negotiated accomplishment in order to create a “we” relationship. The future way of interviewing uses an empathetic approach which is considered “razor” edge. (Renata) - 8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSdxYb2IVwgThis video lists the qualities of a qualitative researcher. The use of clips from television shows and movie clips makes this video easy to follow.

The video goes over some of the basics in research, such as questions regarding the relationship between cause & effect, and information on how to choose to conduct research using quantitative or qualitative methods.
- 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UywO2XuFuBA this video explains how in order to conduct research successfully, researchers must decide beforehand what type of research method to use (either quantitative or qualitative), and must use the method to give structure and vision to the research.

Theory
Found through Watch, Know, Learn, this video expands on concepts and literature maps or charts described by Creswell. Personally, I found creating a literature map extremely helpful so a concept map might be as well, especially in deciding how to filter and describe a research topic.

Formulating the research question
The video expounds on the research topic by looking at how to formulate a research question once the research description is complete, giving a visual perspective using instructive steps and examples. This video examined what happens when a question is too broad? What should be the step to narrow and focus a question? Submitted by Dawn Rowe on November 3, 2013.

Finding research articles
Published by the Olin Library as part of their Research Minutes series, this video describes the difference between academic journal articles and news articles. Especially in regards to education, as it is such a hot topic currently, news articles can be very important in research, but must be substantiated. This video teaches you the clues to make sure the article you choose is a good one. (posted by MB).

There are many discussions focused on quantitative versus qualitative data but what does it really mean? The Quantitative versus qualitative video is a summary of the quantitative and qualitative phenomenon. The video looks at the fundamental features of each methodology using the characters of Albert Einstein and Queen Elizabeth as you never seen them before. The topic defines (Q) quantitative and (q) qualitative data, methodological approach, gathering data, and making sense of it all. Submitted by Dawn Rowe

Components of Qualitative Studies
This video provides a description of different types of qualitative research designs. This is important because a study should be evaluated by how well it implements a specific type of design. Four of the most common types described are phenomenology, grounded theory, action (participant focused research) and ethnography. (RS)

This video explains how cultural probes are used in qualitative contextual design research. It is a “kit”, that includes implements for recording qualitative data, such as a camera, workbook, and diary. Cultural probes are used early in the design of a study, used mostly as a source of inspiration, and to provide context for a study. (RS)
