Sub questions:
• How do security practitioners demonstrate digital literacy skills?• What is the nature of the personal learning environments of

Methodology
• Interpretive Description
• “description (with as much depth and richness as possible)”
• “interpretive (in the sense of an ongoing reflection about what these data might mean)”
Thorne, S. (2008). Interpretive description. Walnut Creek, CA, USA: Left Coast Press.
![Page 15: Ratcliffe. apg presentation, january 16, 2013](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a280161a28ab1f408b479a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• “we might collectively be accused of an obsession about methodological integrity” (p. 172)
• “differs from eclectic approaches that ‘slur’ methods without regard for the coherence of their epistemological foundations.” (p. 172)
• “following certain general principles for analytic frameworks, sample selection, data sources, data analysis, and rigor” (p. 173)
• Thorne, T., Reimer Kirkham, S, & MacDonald-Emes, J. (2004).
![Page 16: Ratcliffe. apg presentation, january 16, 2013](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a280161a28ab1f408b479a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• “Simply stated, interpretive description provides direction in the creation of an interpretive account that is generated on the basis of informed questioning, using techniques of reflective, critical examination, and which will ultimately guide and inform disciplinary thought in some manner.”
• Thorne, Reimer-Kirkham, & O’Flynn-Magee (2004, p. 6)

Data Collection Methods
• Online research methods
• Individual interviews, semi-structured (20-25)
• Focus groups (2, 6-8 participants)
• Observations (discussion groups, websites, workshops, webinars, industry publications)
![Page 18: Ratcliffe. apg presentation, january 16, 2013](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a280161a28ab1f408b479a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Data Analysis
• Emphasis on themes rather than tight coding
• Avoid premature and complex coding
• “Immersion in the data prior to beginning coding, classifying, or creating linkages (Thorne et
al., 1997, p. 175)
• Assistance of data analysis software, NVivo

Ethical Considerations
• University Research Ethics Code of Practice
• Evolving legal and ethical issues in using online research methods
• Information Sheet and Informed Consent
• Informed Consent may require ongoing attention
• Mindful of my role as a researcher in online communities beyond posting for participants
![Page 20: Ratcliffe. apg presentation, january 16, 2013](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032419/55a280161a28ab1f408b479a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Lessons from Pilot Study
• Much more consuming rather than sharing or peer production
• Lack of comfort with public spaces
• Prominence of email and telephone
• LinkedIn was primary online activity
• Digital literacy skills were not obvious beyond the basic
