Qualitative data collection tools collect data which is best characterized as descriptive – text based data expressed in participants’ own words. This kind of data track changes in participants’ attitudes and perceptions, identify why and how change is happening, and are analyzed by organizing emerging themes.
Photovoice is a qualitative method used in community-based participatory research to document and reflect reality. It is an empowering and flexible process that combines photography with grassroots social action and is commonly used in the fields of community development, international development, public health, and education

It is the first time we have introduced our new, combined approach for gathering student feedback on teaching. The method can also be used in other contexts such as curriculum review or development.
The Nominal Group Technique is akin to focus groups, but with more structure and an immediate, quantitative output. Our approach has been to combine two stages: stage 1, focus group, followed by stage 2: nominal group. We have found this an effective approach at the University of Liverpool.

For JSI's June Designstorm, Tahmid Chowdhury from the Center for Health Information, Monitoring, and Evaluation presented tips and tricks for formatted elegant slidedecks, including tips on using icons, colors, photos, fonts, and more.
Consumers making product & brand choices are increasingly turning to computer-mediated communication for information on which to base their decisions. Besides perusing advertising & corporate websites, consumers are using newsgroup, chat rooms, email & other online formats to share ideas, build communities & contact fellow consumers who are seen as more objective information source.
Marketing researchers use a variety of methods to study consumers. NETNOGRAPHY is one such qualitative & explorative research approach to analyse the consumer dialogue in online communities in order to gain unbiased consumer insights. These consumer insights in turn are converted into solutions. If these solutions are implemented in the product or service , it can capture lot of market.
My seminar focuses on research methodology tool , Netnography, the procedure to conduct Netnograhy online along with the example of Apple i-pod nano, the various online solutions which do this Netnography survey along with the case of Listerine and finally the review of netnography, its scope and limitations , conclusion and the ethical considerations to use this tool to survey online communities.

Hunger Free Colorado - Hunger Through My Lens - Photovoice Case Study & ToolkitHungerFree
Based on the photovoice model, Hunger Through My Lens is a new advocacy project that sheds light on the reality of hunger in the Denver Metro area. The participation of experts—individuals who experience hunger—is the foundation of photovoice and this project. Following this model, Hunger Through My Lens is designed to provide a platform for Coloradans to share their stories.
Digital cameras are the main medium for participants to express themselves and put real stories to the overwhelming statistics surrounding hunger. The photographs provide tangible evidence that there’s a need to face the impacts of hunger on individuals, families and communities throughout Colorado.
A traveling exhibit displays the photographs and stories at locations around Denver. Policy makers and stakeholders—including you—are encouraged to view the photographs, meet with participants and engage in critical dialogue. Find out where you can experience Hunger Through My Lens.
The project released a Hunger Through My Lens Case Study & Toolkit in April 2014, so other groups can create a photovoice project in their community. The case study and toolkit the basics of photovoice, why the method is effective, when and how to use, and guidelines and considerations for developing your own photovoice project.
Hunger Through My Lens also has garnered local and national news coverage, including a PBS NewsHour report that struck a chord with people across Colorado and the nation.
Healthcare delivery is moving into communities away from hospitals. Our mission at the School of Nursing is to use flexible learning strategies to optimize this shift from acute care management to community/population health promotion and well-being. In this presentation, we will discuss our strategies for engaging students and our community practice partners in flexible learning experiences throughout the undergraduate curriculum. One activity is linked to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) open school. Eleven of our students and three faculty members participated in a North American I-CAN project (Change Agent Network) to improve population health outcomes in our communities. We partnered with the Union Gospel Mission to identify, implement and evaluate healthcare improvement interventions for this special population. The I-CAN project included online learning modules, synchronous coaching calls and in-person project work at the Union Gospel Mission. In another flexible learning activity, student-faculty-community practice partners co-developed online learning resources to be used in the undergraduate curriculum and as educational resources in community settings (e.g., updates on the HPV vaccine). After providing an overview of our flexible learning innovations, we will discuss successes and challenges associated with designing, implementing and evaluating these collaborative projects. One powerful outcome that we are eager to share– we are shifting students’ focus from hospital settings to those places where we live.
Our Learning Objectives This session will:
1. Describe the planning, implementation and evaluation processes associated with community-based experiential student learning.
2. Discuss how to link community-based experiential learning to other course learning objectives and other curricular components (e.g., in-class discussions, skills lab simulations).
3. Examine the successes and challenges associated with flexible learning and student-faculty-community partnerships.

This presentation was delivered at IAFOR’s Asian Conference on Education and International Development (ACEID) 2017 in Kobe, Japan.
Presentation abstract:
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) in an education context equitably involves teachers, pupils, community members, organisational representatives and researchers, with a commitment to sharing power and resources and drawing on the unique strengths that each partner brings. The aim through this approach is to increase knowledge and understanding of a given phenomenon and integrate the knowledge gained into interventions, policy and social change to improve the health and quality of life of those in the school community. Sightsavers, a disability-focused iNGO, has been implementing a community-based participatory research approach (CBPR) within its education and social inclusion research in the global South. This paper describes the CBPR methodology, how it works within international development, and its impact on Sightsavers interventions in schools. Specific reference will be made to working with teachers as peer researchers – including those with disabilities, training material for peer researchers, CBPR ethical principles, and community analysis of data.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

7. What is Participatory Action
Research?
• Action research is “learning by doing” - a group of people
identify a problem, do something to resolve it, see how
successful their efforts were, and if needed, try again
• Photovoice is an arts-based qualitative research technique
and a good example of participatory action research
September 23,2011 |

www.wellesleyinstitute.com/sjtinitiative.com
8. What is Photovoice?
Photovoice asks you to take photographs
of things that are important to you - and
to tell the story of why these things are
important. The visual images &
accompanying stories are the tools used
to reach policy- and decision-makers.
8
9. Why use Photovoice?
• Powerful way to approach empowerment and advocacy
• Rewards of taking photographs are immediate
• Photography is fun and creative
• Taking photographs can change participants’ perceptions
about their social and physical environment
• Basic photography is easy to learn and accessible to all
• “A picture is worth a thousand words”
• Images are understood regardless of language or culture
• Policy makers & program planners cannot deny reality
when images are staring them in the face
9
10. Who should use Photovoice?
A few examples:
• Children and youth in difficult circumstances e.g. orphans, children
forced into job market, children and youth living under the threat of
violence because of war or crime
• Homeless adults and families
• People with disabilities or mental health issues
• People with chronic diseases/medical conditions e.g. HIV, TB etc.
• Members of racial, ethnic, linguistic, or cultural minorities
• People who are discriminated against because of class, caste, way of life
• The urban poor, whose concerns and strengths are often different from
those of the larger society
• Women and men, to highlight gendered social and health issues
10
11. When might you use Photovoice?
• When Photovoice can change people’s opinions about themselves and
their environment
• When a disadvantaged group’s situation or problem needs to be
publicized
• When change is necessary, & PV can inform policy makers
• When a community assessment is needed or in progress
• When you need to document the process of or gather data for an
evaluation of an intervention or program
• When you need to document a site, an event, or a way of life that is
threatened or about to disappear
11
12. How to put together a PV project?
The stages of Photovoice include:
1. Conceptualizing the problem
2. Defining broader goals and objectives
3. Securing resources for the project
4. Formulating the theme/s for taking pictures
5. Identifying community partners & establishing relationship
6. Recruiting PV participants & target audience members
7. Planning the project with community – include PV participants
8. Beginning the project: Training staff and participants
• Training has two components : (1) technical &
(2) ethical and safe photography

14. SHOWED:
Guideline for story writing
One way of exploring photographs
• What do you See here?
• What’s really Happening here?
• How does this relate to Our lives?
• Why does this problem/condition/strength exist?
• How could this image Educate the community/policy makers/ etc?
• What can we Do to improve the situation, or two enhance these
strengths?
September 23,2011 |
14
www.wellesleyinstitute.com/sjtinitiative.com
15. Ethics of Photovoice
• Ensure activities are done in a fair, respectful & ethical way
• Participants must have the opportunity to consent to participate in the
project, based on full and complete information about both the
advantages and disadvantages of participating
• Participants must be made aware of expectations of participation. They
should also be informed about how they can withdraw from
participation
• Because Photovoice participants are co-researchers and co-creators of
data, they must conduct themselves in fair, ethical and appropriate ways
• Participants should be familiar with process of informed consent
September 23,2011 |
15
www.wellesleyinstitute.com/sjtinitiative.com
16. Ethics of Photovoice
Ask yourself before using your camera…
• When is it ethical to take photos of individuals?
• Should someone take pictures of other people without their
knowledge?
• How do you ask permission to take a photo?
• Should you ask subjects to sign a release form?
• Should you offer them a copy of the picture?
• How do you react if the subject refuses?
• How do you protect yourself in dangerous situations, where people may
be engaged in illegal activity or may be aggressive?

information that can be collected
using Photovoice technique

26. SOCIAL ATTRIBUTES
Safety, Crime, Drugs, Fear
The picture shows a memorial of a residence of St. James Town whose life was robbed off him last
year due to gun violence. The person who murdered “Juice” is yet to be found. It just comes to
show9/27/2011
that more security is needed in the area. A lot of undercover police are the area dressing up
26
as drug dealers or buyers but they are usually easily spotted and pin pointed.
27. SOCIAL ATTRIBUTES
This is related to our lives because every day we are witness to some type of harmful
carcinogens produced by these cigarettes. Whether second hand, or first hand smoke, living in
St. James Town means a high chance of encountering cigarettes. Because of this more people
are exposed to harmful chemicals.
28. PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES
As a child, one way I kept myself occupied with my time was through playing basketball. It not only
kept me off the streets, but also wasted the majority of my time, keeping me active. If more
community programs ran such activities, it would bring the community closer and keep children off
the streets away from any type of violence. These activities are strengths in our community as
children are kept away from trouble. (Youth,SJT. 2010)
29. PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES
Overcrowding
... In a neighbourhood such as St. James
Town where most people live in high rise
buildings and come from low income
families it may not seem like the best
idea to build more buildings when we
don’t already have that much green
space around. This issue relates to your
lives because we need more things than
buildings around our community, such as
more parks, centres for youth but
instead we invest in building and more
buildings.
(Youth,SJT. 2010)
29
30. SOCIAL ATTRIBUTES
“The Tsismis Tree” Tsismis is a word in Tagalog that means gossip. This
tree is treasured by many immigrants because we meet here to share
experiences and support each other. Common spaces are important to
the wellbeing of both individuals and the community.
These different flowers represent people from different places and the vase represents this

This tiny tunnel connects one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Canada, St. James Town, to one
