Online resources: This case study takes the perception of ethnography as not being generalisable and questions whether such an understanding is correct and also whether a different perspective on generalisability might be helpful in developing formative approaches to educational technology research. The aim is to encourage discussion about ethnography as a tool for technology researchers. The case study is built around arguing that such studies require localised understanding prior to interventions being developed and that mutable design principles can provide a generalised starting point for formative research projects.
