Do you want to study social media or collect social media data as part of your research?
In this workshop, we teach you how using Twitter data as an example. You will learn how to collect Twitter data from participants, have participants view Twitter data as part of a study, and collect data on how people react to Twitter data. While this workshop focuses on Twitter data, the same tools can be used on other social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
