The online qualitative toolkit has grown tremendously over the past 20 years, with new digital methodologies vastly expanding the ways we talk to consumers. No longer are we limited to just chat groups or messages boards; today’s digital toolkit includes everything from real-time virtual focus groups to remote ethnography and even social media listening. Mastering these tools is critical for today’s qualitative researchers.
QRCA’s new Online Qualitative Fundamentals program allows researchers to explore all aspects of online qualitative, from design to execution and analysis. Through seven learning modules, researchers will gain an understanding of the diverse tools available and how to use them to meet research objectives.
After completing all seven modules, researchers will earn a QRCA Online Qualitative Fundamentals Certificate of Completion, which will demonstrate to current or prospective clients, colleagues, and employers that they have made a commitment to learning about online qualitative research with QRCA, the largest and most collaborative community of qualitative professionals worldwide.
