The project “Exploring Online Research Methods in a Virtual Training Environment” is funded by the ESRC Research Methods Programme at the University of Leicester. It aims to enhance understanding of online research methods through the production and evaluation of a training portal targeted at the social science community. The portal will provide a self-supporting online training package covering theoretical, practical and technical aspects of online research methods including web-based questionnaires, virtual synchronous and asynchronous interviews. It will also draw on successful good practice case studies, cover associated ethical issues and provide important resource links.
