Online Open Research – A collaborative approach – Standplaats wereld

"The technology I’m referring to is the Online Open Research (OOR) tool, which is currently being developed by Christian Bröer and others at the University of Amsterdam. The aim of OOR is to establish means to collaboratively interpret qualitative data. This means that all the users of the tool, whether they are scientists or not, can determine together the meaning, or meanings, of a certain piece of data. The tool can be compared to massive open online courses (such as Coursera offers) in that it is open and free to join for anyone with access to a computer. Apart from being a promising start for making research more democratic, I argue that this tool might also bring depth to qualitative research."
