Підсумок	Visual elicitation digital ethnography is a qualitative research design that embeds visual elicitation techniques — using photographs, videos, or digital images as interview stimuli — within digital ethnographic fieldwork conducted in online or digitally mediated environments. Participants produce or select visual materials from their digital lives, which are then used to elicit in-depth talk about meanings, identities, and practices that verbal questioning alone often fails to surface.	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.
