Qualitative Online Interviews Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCsg2–S4ZXSA2QpUR1MVFG0GzRyLVL3z
Doing Qualitative Research Online Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCsg2–S4ZXS9r7MfF4tQdtXI5LJ8G-GX The next webinar is about designing and conducting highly collaborative, participatory, arts-based methods online. In this type of research, data is generated from within a research event– not simply “collected.” It goes beyond the usual verbal questioning common to interviews, focus groups, or participant-observation. The online environment offers many ways to communicate, making it a fertile setting for creative and immersive approaches. We can see the trend towards increased use of images and media. Children and youth, or participants who have differences or limitations with spoken language, may prefer alternatives to the typical verbal questioning and responses common to research interviews. Such alternatives may also be useful when dealing with complex or sensitive topics.
These approaches are discussed in depth in Doing Qualitative Research Online!
In addition to participating in the webinar, I will post some relevant resources you can use. The attached handout is designed for use with a group, so they can try out and compare different approaches. You can use the exercises online, or in a face-to-face session. If you use it, I would love to hear how it goes– write to me at [email protected].
Here is another resource, if you are thinking about how to use online research activities in your e-learning or hybrid class: https://youtu.be/nXwg4uAlQcE?list=PLCsg2–S4ZXSA2QpUR1MVFG0GzRyLVL3z

Sibongile 2:I am using chrome.
Jakob Pedersen:Sibongile are you able to hear sound and view presentation now?
Sibongile 2:Yes Jakob. I can.
Tony Carr:thanks Janet, this is a really usefull illustration of the distinctions
carla:Bye everyone – willbe back tomorrow
Tony Carr:till then Carla
Cath:cheers carla – see you tomorrow
Sibongile 2:Bye Carla
Guest2:What would interest me would be what guidelines would one use to analyse the data from facebook. Would it be a content anayis?
Tony Carr:so much data there Helga
Tony Carr:depends so much on your research question
Guest2:Ok
Cath:agree Tony – also what kind of data it is and aim of the research would determine how best to work with the data
Tony Carr:Welcome Kate and Lisa 🙂
Kate Whittaker:HI!
Cath:Hi Kate – great to see you again
Kate Whittaker:Will play catch up with the recording
Tony Carr:But with FB interactions you have data for interaction analysis, content analysis and social network analysis
Guest2:I as mostly thinking about the cancer patients specifically. I mean there is so much more data one can retrieve from FB too.
Tony Carr:agreed
Kate Whittaker:Hi Cath… oopss not sure I know which ‘Cath’ it is?
Cath::-) “sketchnote” Cath
Tony Carr:Models of Teaching https://g.co/kgs/Y6y4h
Kate Whittaker:ah! yay!
Sibongile 2:I lost the sound
Guest2:cant hear is it me
Tony Carr:lost sound
Cath:seem to have lost audio
Tony Carr:after data management
Irene Maweu:Audio is gone
Jakob Pedersen:Did we lose sound for Janet Salmons now?
Tony Carr:yes
Cath:yes – audio gone
Tony Carr:meanwhile can you say something about your experience of conducting research with/ in online environments and any thoughts sparked by the presentation?
Tony Carr:no need to say everything ebfore sending a message
Guest2:I used e-mail interviews for my Masters. Three professors from Germany were my participants. It worked well. I did a comparative analysis and also looked at their pubiscation o the themet for more detailed knowledge. This was 10 years ago. But I would d the same now as its a patient tool especially for a qualitative study.
Tony Carr:thanks Helga
Jakob Pedersen:http://bit.ly/1W5l7P0
Cath:Jakob are you going to make the presentation available as a download in the forum too
Jakob Pedersen:Site dicussion forum
Tony Carr:would you move into using the online environment as the phenomenon of the research? (not just the medium or the setting)
Cath:excellent – thanks Jakob
Guest2:Yes Tony.
Cath:yes – Janet has posted some excellent resources in the forum already
Guest2:Yes Cath, the resources look great.
Tony Carr:To anyone else here – has the presentation sparked some thoughts for you about how you conduct your own research?
Jakob Pedersen:Seminar landing page: http://bit.ly/1UOZF1P
Cath:should we do a sound check quickly?
Kate Whittaker:yes I’m fine to
Kate Whittaker:stay online
Tony Carr:You’re back!!!
Cath:i can hear fine …
Sibongile 2:Sound is back
Irene Maweu:Welcome back Janet
Guest2:It works best to use firefox with adobe connect for presenters. Tech tip 🙂
Tony Carr:Iits great to ee how you bring learning design and research design together
Tony Carr:thanks
Cath:I had never thought about breaking ICTs down into MEDIUM / SETTING / PHENOMENON ….. very useful
Cath:different perspectives / facets
Kate Whittaker:hmmm indeed… how does being online influence how we communicate and what we communicate interesting..
Tony Carr:thats where the fun multiplies!
Kate Whittaker:yup.. its become a conversation I’ve had in many different contexts recently – as a non teacher/educator these have been in my social communities but its very stimulating
Cath:thank you Janet
Janet Salmons:We can communicate in the forum, and I will post additional resources there.
Tony Carr:Seminar Landing page http://emergeafrica.net/live/events/teaching-online-research-design-basics-and-generating-data-with-arts-based-participatory-methods
Kate Whittaker:indeed.. it poses an ethical challenge and requires great care.. as someone who produces materials to pilot with students and eductors its interesting to identify how best to enable them to engage and provide feedabck in a way that is conducive to identifying next steps for product development without undermining the learning opportunity.
Kate Whittaker:thanks Janet, I have found this very stimulating!
Kate Whittaker:will definitely revisit the recorded version to reflect 😉
Tony Carr:Janet thanks for sharing this with us (and for getting up so early!)
Irene Maweu:Thank you for this great presentation. Looking forward to the forum discussions
Alastair Smart:Thank you very much for the presentation.
Guest2:Thank you Janet and Tony
Irene Maweu:Thank you Jakob
Cath:yes -hope to see everyone again for tomorrow’s event
Sibongile 2:Thanks janet for the innovative presentation
Janet Salmons:Goodbye everyone
Kate Whittaker:thanks and bye!
Cath:Thanks Jakob and Janet
Tony Carr:till tomorrow!
Sibongile 2:Thank you bye
Dorothy Ofoha:Thanks all see you tomorow
Cath:Thanks everyone
Cath:Will see you all in the forums
Jakob Pedersen:This seminar has ended please refer to recording here: http://bit.ly/1Yb3dsSThanks a million for all these resources Janet:) I co-teach on a Postgraduate Diploma in Educational Technology. I did my PhD (Media Studies) on kids and games in after-school settings and MA on use of educational software in a school computer lab. I found your ICTs as medium, setting and phenomenon particularly helpful – wish I had come across it earlier in my research career. I will definitely share this with students and the links to the webinars and resources. The first seminar is particularly interesting for this group of students (example of inquiry models online).
Anyone else here teach on a research course or doing research? Or planning to do some online qualitative research? Please share.
Janet, I’m wondering if online qualitative research means something different to doing research with ICTs minus internet access…
Also since there’s lots of multimodal stuff here, this International conference may be of interest http://www.8icom.co.za/ Will be at UCT and with the exchange rate at the moment and timing, perfect time for a December holiday:)
Research Examples
I discussed these examples that differentiate uses of technology:
Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as Medium
A “virtual interview” enabled women from 12 countries and 44 states to participate in this study.
Cesario, S. K., Nelson, L. S., Broxson, A., & Cesario, A. (2010). Sword of Damocles cutting through the life stages of women With ovarian cancer. Oncology Nursing Forum, 37(5), 609-617.Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as Setting
This study comprised a convenience sample of archived online threaded messages posted in the online lung cancer support community during August and September 2008. The setting for the study was an online lung cancer support community.
Lobchuk, M., McClement, S., Rigney, M., Copeland, A., & H., B. (2014). A qualitative analysis of “naturalistic” conversations in a peer-led online support community for lung cancer. Cancer Nursing, 37(5).Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as Phenomenon
…the internet is becoming an important space in which cancer patients meet and construct knowledge regarding their illness. The aim of this paper is to study knowledge- and practice-construction among advanced cancer patients and caregivers, and to explore the suitability of online forums for analysis of these processes… Online forums enable participants to disclose experiences, share knowledge, and co-construct “good practices” for illness management.

Social Science & Medicine, 62(10), 2577-2590. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2005.11.016I discussed these two studies in my webinar or Arts-Based and Participatory Research Online:
McGarry, O., & McGrath, B. (2014). “A Virtual Canvas”: Designing a blog site to research young Muslims’ friendships & identities. Forum: Qualitative Social Research, 14(1), Art. 1. http://www.qualitative-research.net/index.php/fqs/article/view/1805

https://online.sagepub.com/cgi/register?registration=FTGlobal2016 Given our discussion on Monday, I found this article in the Chronicle of Higher Education interesting: “More Professors Say Undergraduates Need to Hone Research Abilities, Survey Finds” http://bit.ly/1UWR8tB. Perhaps they need a little “Learning to Research, Researching to Learn” activities in their classes!
