Long Answer Questions: With reference to the readings, answer any TWO of these questions in 400-500 words EACH:
Topic #1:Williams (2007) explains that the pseudo-presence of online gaming environments requires the researchers to use responsive and adaptive online methods in order to gather reliable and valid data. With reference to Williams and drawing on at least two other readings from Modules 1 & 2, outline a research plan for a virtual ethnography of an online MMORPG of your choice. Your research plan must include a brief definition of topic, a research question, and a detailed description of your chosen research methodology(ies).
Topic #2:Numerous readings discuss that because the Internet blurs boundaries between public and private, researchers are required to adapt new ethical standards and embed serious ethical considerations into their online data collection practices. As this blogTO (Links to an external site)(https://www.blogto.com/city/2021/01/university-toronto-top-sugar-baby-schools-canada/ ) article claims, according to numbers released by SeekingArrangement (Links to an external site.), University of Toronto lands first on the list of top sugar baby schools in Canada. Imagine that you are trying to conduct an “at home ethnography” (see Middha 2018) of the sugar baby scene at University of Toronto. Read these two links I provided, and, drawing on at least 3 of the course readings from Modules 1 & 2, choose an online data collection method and describe what ethical considerations you have to make as you conduct your research.
Topic#3:As the COVID-19 pandemic has progressed, more and more workplaces have resorted to using online conferencing tools such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom to conduct their daily activities. Due to global travel restrictions,researchers have also started conducting interviews via online conferencing platforms. With reference to at least 3 of the course readings from Modules 1 & 2, reflect on both the advantages and drawbacks of using online conferencing tools instead of face-to-face interviews.
