This course will introduce you to virtual data archiving platforms. It will explain the principles of storing and processing online archival data (websites, portals, forums, etc.). The course will present tools that allow you to look back at websites and data published on them in the past, even if they have been deleted from servers. Another part of the course will present web tools and platforms for live monitoring of social events. Various events in the real world (protests, catastrophes, military conflicts) instantly become content on social networks. Various data analytical tools help to collect and process the latest posts published on social networks. This course will provide an overview of the tools or online platforms that help to monitor and record various processes. These open content tools are used by law enforcement structures, researchers of threat assessment and social phenomena.

Course participants will learn about tools that allow them to view and retrieve information from websites that existed in the past, even if they have been deleted. The course will also introduce online tools and platforms for live monitoring of social events. Through testing these tools and access to data, participants will gain the skills to collect and process the latest information posted on social networks.
