Ethnographic research that focuses on collecting data in the digital realm has been called digital ethnography, virtual ethnography, or cyber ethnography. The commonality is that it requires a merger between specialized skills needed for ethnographic approaches and an understanding of relatively new methods for how to gather, analyze, present, and write about web-based data collected online or about online phenomena. Critical reflection will be done on how fieldwork in digitally enabled environments must be adapted from traditional ethnographic methods.
