ABSTRACT
This chapter explains about looking for data, thinking about where you might find it, and keeping records of it once we have found it. It shows the reciprocal relationship between your learning and their learning and actions. Multimedia technologies provide both the means for developing powerful data archives that contain the evidence base of claims to knowledge, and can also act as the means for developing and communicating this knowledge as forms of social and political action. The chapter considers issues of data gathering from the perspectives of which data to gather, and which actions may be monitored. It explores questions about what to look for when gathering data, and how to find it. The data sought will refer to the transformational relationships between the learning and its influences in other people's learning and actions.
