The Data Donation Lab organizes a data donation workshop at the ECREA ECC featuring a demonstration of the Data Donation Module, a web application designed for social scientists to collect data donations. Learn how you can use this tool to collect data donations from citizens for your own research, including data from social media and streaming platforms.
The workshop takes place on Thursday 26 September 2024, 16:30-18:00. The workshop will be held in the lecture room FDV-20 (1st floor at Faculty of Social Sciences) at the conference site of ECC.

Workshop Programme
The workshop consists of three parts:
1. Introduction to data donation
We will provide a brief overview on what data donation is, why it is a promising new approach for communication researchers, and what needs to be considered when designing a data donation project.
2. Introduction to the Data Donation Module
We will present the Data Donation Module, an open-source web application that can be used to conduct data donation projects on all digital (media) platforms and other digital sources. The introduction includes a walkthrough of setting up a project, including crucial design decisions, recruitment of participants, monitoring of a project, and data analysis.
3. Best practices
We provide insights into various data donation projects and share the most important do’s and don’ts that need to be considered from ethical approval to publishing your results.
