Method evidence record

Remote Participant Observation

Remote Participant Observation is a qualitative data collection method in which the researcher joins and participates in an online or digitally mediated social setting — such as a video-based community, online forum, virtual world, or remote work environment — to observe and record social interactions, practices, and meanings as they occur naturally, without requiring physical co-presence.
