This is an excellent overview of online research methods using qualitative approaches. While many students will focus on 'traditional' face-to-face methods or even telephone interviews, online research is something that they should be exposed to given the increasing reach and access to the internet in the UK.
The book covers essential practical issues related to different ways of conducting qualitative research online as well as addressing important issues of researcher reflexivity and the particular ethical implications of conducting online research. It is very clearly laid out and written in extremely accessible language.
