Abstract

Digital tools can help simplify qualitative researchers’ work. They can also add depth and richness by capturing data in a way that can be viewed and reviewed without preliminary transcription. This chapter shares an approach to working with digital data that honors participant voice and the lived experiences of those under study. The chapter also suggests new tools and common software applications. Further, it suggests a workflow to guide researchers as he or she begins to work to incorporate digital data into their studies.
