Description
Summary:In recent years, the acceleration of technological developments has changed the way we interact with others in both our personal and professional lives. Digital communication technologies now feature in the toolkits of many social scientists, with the recent growth in use fuelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. In many global contexts, public health infection control measures have required people to distance themselves physically. As a consequence, much social interaction has shifted online and, for many qualitative researchers, so has the means by which data is generated. This How-to Guide focuses on the use of synchronous online interviews in qualitative research. Such interviews employ a range of tools that allow researchers and participants to communicate in real-time, from audio-only interviews to online video-enabled applications (apps, hereafter).
