I’ve finished one entire interview!

Epistolary interviews do take a long time – this one took three and a half weeks, but there’s lots of very good and thoughtful data coming in, so I’m happy about that.

Must sort out my data collection in a bit more detail, though. I have several groups in which all the students have agreed to be archived, and a few where all the students and one tutor have agreed, but only one group where everyone has signed up. I’m going to chase seven groups and hope I get a few extra responses.

I also need to decide exactly who I’m going to interview and how and start getting in touch with absolutely everyone. Oh, and I need to contact the course manager to sort out more about archiving.
