Interaction analysis is a valuable method and approach to study knowledge in use in the learning sciences and CSCL communities. Central to interaction analysis is the creation of transcripts to selectively encode and represent audio and video data. However, current transcription techniques used in interaction analysis, including multimodal transcription techniques, have yet to explore the strengths and weaknesses of interactive visualization to selectively encode and represent people’s interaction in context. Drawing from our recent efforts to amplify, not automate, transcription in qualitative research, this paper interactively visualizes one video dataset in five different ways using contemporary interactive visualization techniques. Findings …

Informed by critical data literacy efforts to promote social justice, this paper uses qualitative methods and data collected during two years of workplace ethnography to characterize the notion of critical novice data work. Specifically, we analyze everyday language used by novice data workers at DataWorks, an organization that trains and employs historically excluded populations to work with community data sets. We also characterize challenges faced by these workers in both cleaning and being critical of data during a project focused on police-community relations. Finally, we highlight novel approaches to visualizing data the workers developed during this project, derived from data …
