More Researchers Using Video

February 5, 2007

More education researchers are documenting classroom interaction using digital video. Close analysis of videotaped educational settings is proving useful to graduate students working on dissertations and to multi-site federally funded research projects. More than 40,000 researchers using video and audio data have downloaded Transana, a computer program that allows users to transcribe and analyze large data collections. Developed at WCER, Transana enables researchers to apply searchable analytic keywords and to engage in complex data mining and hypothesis testing across large collections.
