“Qualitative researchers and research methods faculty will find this book both a useful and enjoyable addition to their libraries.”

Stanislava Stoyanova

“This book is also useful for students, because each chapter includes discussions and assignments whose goal is to assist better understanding and preparation for the process of online interviewing.”

Karen L. Tonso

“This is a very timely addition to the set of essential methodological texts that every qualitative researcher should have in their professional library. It covers an area where there as been little writing to date, it does so in a very read-friendly way, and it is comprehensive enough for even the novice reader, while still including the more senior researcher.”

Jill Sperandio

“I would highly recommend any student contemplating a research project involving real time interviews to purchase the text for its excellent overview of relevant research to guide and support the choice of this methodology…”

Kim H. Knight

“Clarity of presentation, depth of coverage, excellent tables and figures….This book is informative and a pleasure to read. It has inspired me and I am excited about the prospect of teaching a course on online interviewing.”

Kathryn Roulston

“I think the fact that the author has conducted online interviews, and selects and represents examples of research that use online interviews for discussion is a strength of the book. The author’s knowledge of technical information concerning how to use the tools of ICT is also an asset …”

Annie St-Jacques

“As a Ph.D. candidate in Educational Technology, my research on blended online learning design and the virtual classroom will benefit from conducting online interviews in their “natural setting” through synchronous technology. Doctor Salmon provides sound and timely methodological advice throughout the book both from a theoretical or a practical perspective and I highly recommend it.”
