Classroom Research
This is the Unit Guide for a master's unit based on the idea of 'Teachers as Researchers'. Many other courses have used it as a model.
Qualitative Research
This is a module developed by the International Research Foundation for Open Learning (IRFOL) under a contract with the Commonwealth of Learning. This is a draft version made available for testing and for comment. It is intended for use by those enrolling for masters' programmes in distance education.
Case Study
This powerpoint file, with notes, was presented at the University of Southampton in March 2005 as part of a seminar series on qualitative research methods.
