“I would highly recommend any student contemplating a research project involving real time interviews to purchase the text for its excellent overview of relevant research to guide and support the choice of this methodology…”
—Jill Sperandio, Lehigh University
“This is a very timely addition to the set of essential methodological texts that every qualitative researcher should have in their professional library.”
—Karen L. Tonso, Wayne State University
Online Interviews in Real Time considers theoretical and practical dimensions of emerging online interview approaches.
Online Interviews in Real Time explores the use of synchronous communication technologies for research interviews. These technologies allow for four key types of interview exchange:
- Text-based chat through instant messaging or texting;
- Audio and video through videoconferencing or video calls;
- Audio, video, shared whiteboard and other tools in online meeting spaces; or
- Exchanges in 3-D Immersive environments.
Interviews using these technologies generate complex verbal and visual data. With a focus on these four types, the book explores ways to design studies, prepare for and ethically conduct real-time interviews online.
Each chapter contains well-researched discussion of related qualitative research principles that serve as a foundation for thinking through key issues and practical steps for online interview researchers.
