the course designer is to identify the goal(s) of the analysis; is there alreadya clear curricular problem that needs addressing? Is the goal to evaluate the course as part of acontinuous improvement process? The desired outcome for the analysis determines the type ofdata which is to be captured, a process known as coding. When coding, researchers carefullyread the artifacts and search for the presence of specific words, themes, pictures or othercontents. The coding scheme determines what the reader is seeking and how they will capture itspresence (or lack thereof). When entering into the artifact review with a predefined problem inmind, the coding scheme will likely be a priori, a predefined series of data attributes the coursedesigner is
