In research textbooks, and much of the research practice, they describe, qualitative processes and interpretivist epistemologies tend to dominate visual methodology. This article challenges the assumptions behind this dominance. Using exemplification... Read More about 'That's not quite the way we see it': the epistemological challenge of visual data.

Comparing Analysis Frames for Visual Data Sets: Using Pupil Views Templates to explore perspectives of learning (2013)
