“…The interviews were carried out in an asynchronous digital way. This way of interviewing students is a rather new technique in qualitative research, which encourages respondents to reflect on their answers by allowing them to structure their ideas and responses beforehand [15]. In this particular study, students had the opportunity to record their answers as audio files independently.…”

This paper discusses evaluation findings from project-based and blended learning courses in the higher education sector and beyond. The multi-method studies focus on learners’ attitudes, practices and preferences towards project-based and blended learning. The evaluated courses were developed and taught in the context of teacher training programs at Ludwigsburg University of Education (LUE). They aim at the planning, execution and critical reflection of individual projects carried out by the participating students in blended learning contexts. This paper presents a discussion of the structure, the blended methodology and the outcomes of the courses, combining the methods of quantitative evaluation research and qualitative interviews. By doing so, the study assesses current practice and analyses the above-mentioned courses closely and in detail. Thus, this paper discusses how students deal with a project-based and blended learning environment and how these results can be constructively implemented to improve future project-based and blended learning scenarios.

“…Several social media websites and programs have facilitated contact with my respondents, which unquestionably can be used as tools for carrying out ethnographic interviews safely. Such websites also offer opportunities for social networking and they are clearly reshaping the way in which news and views are gathered and disseminated (Salmons, 2014).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the way people in a collectivist culture, particularly Egyptians, define social isolation and to understand the effect of social isolation on maintaining traditional networks of social relations.Design/methodology/approachTo do this, online ethnographic semi-structured interviews were carried out with a purposeful sample of non-infected Egyptians who have access to social media networks.FindingsAlthough collectivism may be perceived as a risk factor in developing countries, it has positive effects on reducing the spread of COVID-19 among Egyptians through the preventive measures it entails. Increased fear, worries and anxiety about the family and in-group members is a limiting factor against the prevalence of the disease, despite the emotional hardships experienced by individuals.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample interviewed does not refer to the entire Egyptian population, since the number of social media users represents 43.5% of Egyptians. Therefore, generalization of research data may be problematic.Practical implicationsThe paper aims to raise awareness of the important of stressing collectivist character traits since they can help develop more preventive measures against the spread of the disease. Research findings also indicate that there is a need to coexist with the disease under controlled conditions to lessen the psychological risks of social isolation.Originality/valueIn light of the paucity of research carried out on COVID-19, the present research provides a pioneering insight into the meaning of social isolation in a collectivist culture and the distinctive local methods adopted by people to maintain their networks of social relations.

“…Whilst a myriad of resources exists for gathering data in one-to-one virtual interviews (Gray, 2020; Iacono, 2016; Nehls et al, 2015; Salmons, 2015), the same cannot be said for data collection involving group participants, much less so for interactive group discussions such as workshops. Although a variety of researchers have used workshops as a data collection method (e.g., Leyns et al, 2018; Tarr et al, 2018), the term ‘workshop’ remains poorly defined as a concept from an academic perspective.…”

Social distancing rules in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic have necessitated a move to online research for many social science researchers. In moving data collection online, academic literature on Internet-mediated research has resurfaced and been enriched, providing researchers with a useful resource when planning data collection online. In sharp contrast, there is limited published work for online workshops, indicating new opportunities for developing an evidence base for this increasingly important approach to data generation.
