Summary:

Today, much of students' researching and writing takes place on computers and the Internet. Many traditional forms of data (e.g., hard-copy writing artifacts) may no longer be sufficient to capture students' writing activity. This case study will share experiences from a recent study using screen- and video-recording software (Camtasia Studio 6.0) to research students' computer- and Internet-based writing. Particular strengths of such a method include the ability to capture disappearing or changing data, such as text that is later deleted; the ability to see correspondence between think-aloud utterances and online activity; and increased engagement and interest on the part of participants and audience members. Limitations and challenges include the fact that hard-copy documents are not easily captured in the recording, the need to strike a balance in terms of the volume of data and the unit of analysis, and the existence of the usual technical challenges that emerge when one works with technology.
