สรุป	Digital Hermeneutic Phenomenology applies van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological tradition to phenomena that are lived, shaped, or mediated through digital technologies and online environments. Rather than treating the digital channel as a mere convenience for data collection, this approach treats participants' online experiences as phenomena worthy of interpretive inquiry in their own right — asking what it means to live, relate, learn, or work in and through digital spaces.	Digital ethnography is a qualitative research method that adapts traditional ethnographic fieldwork to online and digitally mediated settings. Drawing on sustained participant observation, document collection, and sometimes interviews, the researcher immerses themselves in one or more digital communities — social media platforms, forums, gaming spaces, or messaging groups — to understand how culture, identity, and social practice are constructed through digital interaction. The approach recognises that online spaces are not merely reflections of offline life but distinctive sites of cultural production in their own right.
