Thinking about a qualitative research methods course update for the digital age? Doing Qualitative Research Online covers ethical and theoretical foundations, as well as a wide range of approaches to collect or generate data. In addition to finding appropriate extant data, the book encourages researchers to explore ways to elicit data online through interviews or focus groups, or to use enacted methods such as arts-based and experiential methods.
See the SAGE Publications companion site for instructional ideas including a sample syllabus, assignments, media, and (open access) articles.
From an instructor’s blog: “Everyone in the class liked the text. It is well organized, informative, and clearly written. There are great charts and tables throughout that illustrate the points being made, and students appreciated this component.”

Learning to Research, Researching to Learn
It is essential in this time to change the ways we teach– whether we work with children or adults. They need the opportunity to develop skills needed to scrutinize, dig deeper, and ask hard questions! In the process, perhaps they avoid taking information they receive at face value, and can better understand the importance of scientific, evidence-based approaches. And these skills and mindsets prepare them to be future researchers!
