Example of a PhD student doing a contextual inquiry in the HCI Instructor's office. The topic of the inquiry is data management. A contextual inquiry was selected because it is not always obvious what is and is not "data".

While watching the video try identifying other types of "data" you might have asked about if you were running the inquiry. We intentionally kept this inquiry short, a real one would likely have lasted 30-60 minutes to really cover all the data in the office, so there are many pieces of "data" we missed.
