The first set of Live Online Short Courses of the 2020-2021 CARMA year, sponsored by the University of South Australia, have been a huge success! These courses were held via CARMA’s Virtual Global Classroom using Zoom with instructors providing a live lecture and Q&A session. This program took place from November 9-20, 2020 and offered two sessions which allowed course participants the opportunity to take two back-to-back courses. The Session 1 course had 30 course participants and was titled “Doing Grounded Theory Research” instructed by Dr. Glen Kreiner from The University of Utah. The Session 2 course was titled “Mixed Methods and Qualitative Comparative Analysis” instructed by Dr. Thomas Greckhamer from Louisiana State University and included 35 course participants.
Some feedbacks from course participants:
- This was my first real introduction to Qualitative Research Methods and Grounded Theory. I felt the the Grounded Theory was covered very well and left me with strong understanding of the method. If anything, I know want to learn more about other qualitative methods in anticipation to use in a possible PhD.
- There were key learnings, helpful insights and tips and appreciation and patience for the research process and increased awareness of Grounded Theory in Research. I like how different exemplary journal papers were used for our group discussions (i.e. structures of papers, writing styles, presentations of data in figures and tables, how method chapters were presented)
- Presenter provided good back up resources and good linkages from the slides/discussion to these resources.
