Project aims1. To produce and evaluate a high-quality
online portal to provide training in online research methods;
2. To act as a self-supporting online resource focusing on web-based questionnaires, virtual synchronous and asynchronous interviews;
3. To draw on successful good practice case studies, cover ethical issues of online research, provide resource links and technical guidance.

Why ORM?
• Training in ORM recognized area of need with a current shortage of provision.
• E.g. recent Consultation Exercise by National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) and ESRC Postgraduate Training Guidelines (2005).
• Prior to the launch of the “Exploring Online Research Methods” package no training programme in ORM existed.

4. How can site be used?
• Stand alone for individual researcher.• As part of training modules.• Training events- workshops etc. • Characterised by flexibility learning styles and
strategies and differing levels of experience of research in general and on-line methods in particularly.
