Observing a manual reader
(think aloud process: reading)
Observing a writer (think aloud): Anouk. Think aloud, computer registration
(using input log; see
http://webh01.ua.ac.be/mleijten/inputlog; free software for research
use) and film/screen capture (camtasia: see
http://www.techsmith.com, 30 days
free trial version). (a) Anouk's
Writing task (writing in English as a foreign language);(b) film of
process and thinking aloud; (c)
writing protocol, with rough codes; (d)
replay with inputlog (you must
have downloaded inputlog software); (e) analyses (rough statistics) from
inputlog (e1):
pause analysis (excel); (e2)
statistics (excel);
general (e3)
linear text,
idem with five seconds interval; (e4)
resulting text; (f)
coding scheme (main categories);
(g)
film (mpg). All 'Anouk' materials are

Daphne van Weijen,
PhD candidate Utrecht University (dec 2006).
Observing computer use; filmclip/screen captures from a researcher doing
a factor analysis in SPSS. Made with Camtasia. Can be replayed with regular
media player.
Observing a classroom teacher French
(UK) (wmv format). Groupwork: design criteria for
effective foreign language teaching (beginners level), and apply this set to
the first ten minutes. Material collected in Lingua alive! team, copy
created by courtesy of Judith Janssen, Graduate School of Teaching and Learning,
Universiteit van Amsterdam
Observing motivation: time
on task (wmv format). Groupwork: design a scheme for time on task
observation. Design a random time sampling scheme, with interobserver
reliability checks (rating at some moment same student). Apply this set and this
design to the first twenty minutes of a classroom using IT.

process as it is played back with inputlog software). Material by courtesy of
