Week 2 took some time to get adjusted to. I had just met my professor, Dr. Patil, the previous friday and he let me know what were his expectations for the summer research project. I had to download trello and create a Slack account so that he can be able to communicate with me at all times. I also did some assigned background reading on Privacy ideation cards and learned a few things about Privacy ideation cards:
- GDPR mandates informaton privacy by design which is the purpose of privacy ideation cards.
- This is a design tool that designers can engage with their own terms.
- The challenge for Privacy ideation cards is how can we make these abstract legal concepts real and relevant for the designers, legal requirements, regulation use of instruments.
I also did some reading on grounded theory and this is what i learned:
Grounded theory is a theory that is developed inductively from a corpus of Data. The resulting theory at least fits one dataset perfectly and the researcher takes different cases to be wholes. The methods for Grounded theory is Open Coding, Axial Coding, Selective coding, Memos and process.
I also had a meeting with my professor on June 1st. We discussed about Ideation cards and how i can create a full board IRB Application. We also discussed the 2 capstone projects and the tasks that i have to complete for the next week. Week 2 was just the beginning now the hard work begins.
Until next time,
