"In addition, the software gives users the ability to write and edit documents as well as including features for note taking, summarising content, and outlining text," he adds.
In this way, students learnt skills in both blogging and tweeting to summarise content such that one respondent reasoned that "I learnt summarizing skills; summarizing what we had covered in class was improved over time and my online communication skills improved greatly with my friends".
We coded and grouped these units, contrasted and abstracted the content in each group, and finally discussed and summarised the content of each group into generalised descriptions of aspects of interaction.
Each open ended response was read and given an open code that summarised the content of the response (sub-category).
The authors summarised the content based on the categories in each of the groups: met, unmet or discordant rehabilitation needs in the persons with stroke and caregivers, respectively.
At the conclusion of each main part of the interview, the researcher summarised the content to ensure the participant's perspective was stated and comprehended correctly, a verification process that enhanced the credibility of the study [ 32].
To control for reflexivity bias, at least two researchers read and reviewed the material in-depth and summarised the content of each case into a concise description based on a uniform template that factually described the case and noted observations or comments on the case.
Thus, unlike previous studies that focused on a particular social media such as Twitter or by reviewing existing literature, a combined use of two social media tools (Twitter and blogs) in this study allowed students to have an opportunity to express their content in more details via blogs and to develop skills in summarising content with a few characters via Twitter.
The coding groups "feeling safe," "individually adapted information," and "managing strategies" were developed; 3) Abstracting and condensing the content within each coding group; and 4) Summarising the content within each thematic heading.
Each legal text is preceded by an introduction describing the historical, political and legal circumstances of its adoption, plus a short paragraph summarising its content.
