Supporting the use of digital media in research with children and young people

Supporting the use of digital media in research with children and young people

 This project will create an online resource about using digital media in research with children and young people. It has developed out of a recognition that digital media offers exciting possibilities for developing research with children and young people.

The resource will give guidance and support to researchers who wish to use digital media in their work. It will draw on expertise from academia as well as other sectors, using existing resources as well as commissioning examples of using online media.  It will build on the research team’s experience in research with children and young people and of developing courses on using digital media in research.
