In Weeks 1–4, you observed and created field notes for each of the Walden Scholars of Change videos. Now that you have completed your observations, next you will select one of the Scholars of Change videos to begin the coding process of not only your field notes but also the transcript of the video you downloaded.
To prepare for this Discussion:
- Review the chapters in the Saldaña text found in this week’s Learning Resources.
- Review the Introduction to Coding and From Content to Coding media programs in the Learning Resources.
- Refer back to your observational field notes from the Scholars of Change Videos from Weeks 1–4.
- Choose one of the four Scholars of Change videos and refer to your field notes from your observation.
- Access the transcript you downloaded for the media program of the Scholars of Change video you selected for this Discussion.
- Begin to code the transcript and the observational field notes of the Scholar of Change Video you chose. (Note: You will only need one or two codes for this Discussion, although more are acceptable.)
ASSIGNMENT
Post a brief description of the video you chose. Next, include an example of one or two codes and provide quotes from your notes or transcript to support your example. Finally, explain your reasoning for this coding.
Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.

Directions: For each video you chose, type in the following information, extracted from your video field notes guide. Put the data of one video per tab.
The numbers above correspond to the directions below.
1. Create a video code number, so the identifying information will not be visible in this record.
2. Indicate speaker’s gender
3. Indicate speakers program of study
4. Briefly describe the subject matter or topic of the video.
5. (a) Under the sub-heading “My Notes”, copy each sentence describing a “fact” of the video (#2 from your Notes guide) into one cell of the spread sheet. Use the “wrap text” function for readability.
5 (b) Under the sub-heading “Transcript”, select sections of text from the video transcript, again placing each one in a cell of the spread sheet.
6-7. Using the techniques from your Saldana text and the coding videos, code each line with two 1st cycle and one 2nd cycle codes.
8. Create a short statement or phrase summarizing your reflexive notes (#4 from your guide).

Global Days of Service, celebrated October 12–18, inspired more than 20,500 faculty, staff, students, and alumni, as well as their friends and family, to participate in community service projects around the world.
Members of the Walden and Laureate communities in more than 15 countries contributed more than 125,000 volunteer hours in more than 240 service projects. Projects included:
Cleaning and organizing the Minneapolis American Indian Center in the U.S.
Building houses for hedgehogs and performing general cleaning and maintenance at a nature reserve in Gdansk, Poland.
Painting, assembling furniture, beautifying a courtyard, and organizing a food pantry at a middle school in Baltimore, Maryland, in the U.S.
Launching a program to engage with and provide physical and artistic outlets to refugee children and their families in Germany.
Serving orphans in Saudi Arabia.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for helping make a positive impact in communities around the globe.
