This self study pack will provide an introduction to digital research methods, with an emphasis on content analysis as a method of analysing digital data. Digital methods concern research that involves the collection and analysis of data taken from the internet, most often social media. Social media is now an integral part of most people’s lives and we can learn a lot about people and a variety of subjects based on social media activity. Moreover, social media continues to have a greater and greater impact on offline issues and events, and analysing a subject using digital data can grant us a unique perspective. More and more disciplines are embracing digital methods, ranging from health and social care, to political science, to psychology, to economics. This makes digital methods very versatile and it's likely that, whatever you're studying, digital data about this subject exists. Therefore, digital research is of growing academic interest and this self study pack will explore why and how digital research could be used in your academic career. The self study pack will begin by contextualising why researchers use digital methods and the benefits of using digital methods in research. People also produce a lot of data on social media, and so it can be daunting knowing where to start. You will therefore be guided through what can be learned about a user from a social media post. Images also play a key role on social media, but they are notably more complicated to understand than text. Therefore, images are examined separately to provide some ideas of how images can be approached. How data can be collected from social media is also explored and is it vital to understand the ethical issues related to digital methods before beginning your research. It is often assumed that because digital research involves the collection of publicly available social media data as part, then there are few if any ethical concerns to consider. However, digital data should be managed to the same ethical degree as other kinds of data and digital data also has some unique ethical concerns. The final portion of the self study pack is dedicated to content analysis as a method of understanding digital data. You will be guided on how to construct a content analysis code frame and then have the opportunity to produce your own findings based on real social media data.

This course will introduce you to thinking ethically about data and how data – like technology is rarely neutral. We will look at how data is all around us and how when we create data systems we need to be aware of the ethical implications of our decisions, how borrowing from design thinking we can create better systems and how we must be actively guard against unintended harms.
Do you remember how it felt to be a new student at Manchester Met? The International Buddy Scheme has been created to help new international students integrate into university life and life in the UK. As a student who joined the university this semester, you’ll be paired with an existing student who will act as a buddy/mentor to you over a short series of meet ups where you can discuss things such as: – Aspects of university life you are adjusting to – Goals for this semester – Your own cultural experiences (maybe you’ll share another language with your buddy, or perhaps you could start to learn a new one through them!) As an existing student, you’ll be supporting a new student as they settle into their studies and the university environment. This is an opportunity to enhance your personal development, gain mentoring and coaching skills, and improve your overall employability! You can also earn Rise points by submitting a short summary of each meet up. This scheme is aimed at international (postgraduate) students in the department of Marketing, International Business and Tourism.

Manchester Met is committed to human rights, promotes freedom of expression, works to be a diverse and inclusive community and works to prevent modern slavery throughout its operations. The university community encourages freedom of expression and debate, has policies that recognise protected characteristics and beliefs and works to treat everyone with dignity and respect. These are not just ‘nice’ statements or aspirations, they reflect the university’s responsibilities with regard to Human Rights. And they affect your life in the university, because you are a Human Rights holder – you have rights that are listed and explained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is essential that you know your rights, however, because not knowing them can mean you do not demand or use them. So this module will help you explore your Rights, understand what they mean for you, and even encourage you to think about how you might work for Human Rights for others. Human Rights are about justice, what it means for individuals, societies and nations; how it is upheld and how it can be denied when governments, businesses and institutions are not held to account. Biography Dan Shercliff is an educational consultant with over 20 years’ experience working in education and human rights. He holds a degree in International Relations and a Master’s in Education Policy, where he developed a strong belief in the power of education to bring about justice, deeply influenced by the ideas of Paulo Freire and critical pedagogy. Dan began his career in further and adult education, starting as a teacher and progressing into senior leadership roles. He led community-based education across Manchester, driven by the conviction that adults have the right to learn and that education gives people the tools to think critically, challenge injustice, and shape their own lives. Alongside his work in the UK, Dan has worked in Uganda and Bangladesh, supporting education in schools and disadvantaged communities. He trained teachers, helped establish an IT suite, and delivered programmes in slum areas, gaining first-hand insight into the global challenges facing education. Dan has always seen education as a means to work toward social justice. He has led a range of projects tackling inequality, including anti-racism education programmes. Most recently, he was Human Rights Education Manager at Amnesty International UK, where he managed national projects helping people understand their rights. This included training teachers, advising education leaders on rights-based policies, and supporting youth-led campaigns. Now working independently, Dan continues to design and deliver education projects focused on human rights, community empowerment, and critical thinking. His work remains rooted in the belief that education, when it is participatory, inclusive, and grounded in lived experience, is one of the most powerful tools we have to build a fairer, more just world.
