Epistolary Interviews On-line: A Novel Addition to the Researcher’s Palette

  • Authors: Margaret Debenham
 

Description

This paper reports on the experimental introduction of a novel research method (termed epistolary interviews) to conduct personal interviews at a distance via asynchronous e-mail. The work was undertaken at The Open University UK between January and April 1999 as part of the final phase of a linear series of doctoral research studies designed to explore the experience of undergraduate distance learners with long-term health problems (Debenham 2001).
