Σύνοψη	Digital Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (Digital IPA) applies the rigorous IPA framework — originally developed by Jonathan Smith to explore how individuals make sense of significant lived experiences — within digital data-collection environments. Participants are recruited and interviewed online (via video call, synchronous text chat, email, or digital diary), and the resulting transcripts and digital texts are analysed through the same close-reading, emergent-coding, and cross-case patterning procedures that define standard IPA. The digital setting both expands access to geographically dispersed or hard-to-reach participants and introduces distinct methodological considerations around rapport, embodied cues, and data authenticity.	Digital Narrative Research is a qualitative methodology in which participants create or share short digital stories — typically combining personal voice-over, photographs, video, and text — that become the primary data for inquiry. Originating in community digital-storytelling practice developed at the Center for Digital Storytelling in Berkeley in the 1990s, the approach has been adopted widely in education, health, social work, and participatory action research to surface voices and experiences that are difficult to capture through interviews or surveys alone.
