The learning sticks’
Use of role-plays to develop deep student-learning has many advocates. Role-play is a powerful approach for learning that develops relevant skills in a range of disciplines and situations. In Higher Education, sustainability programmes role-play pedagogy appears to have great relevance for developing the competencies that these graduates will need. The ability of role-play pedagogy to develop these competencies was assessed through a case study o…
Enhancing student research through a virtual participatory action research project
Can graduate students in a distance learning environment gain meaningful research experience through a virtual participatory action research project? The answer is an emphatic ‘yes.’ The purpose of this article is twofold: to demonstrate how and to what extent graduate students can gain research experience through participation with alumni and faculty in an action research project, and to examine administrative issues arising from adhering to the…
Educators' conceptions of student diversity in their classes
This article reports on an international study investigating university educators' ideas about the diversity of their students, carried out by using semi‐structured email interviews. The information obtained from participants was analysed using a phenomenographic approach to obtain an outcome space, in which the narrowest conception ignored any differences between students, the broader conceptions made allowance for such differences, while the mo…

Contemporary developments in technology provide opportunities for qualitative researchers to enhance their modes of collecting rich data for analysis. In this article we explore the utility and impact of using email as a means of collecting data in the form of semi‐structured interviews. We investigate what participants think about email interviews, and how they view the relationship between email interviews and online pedagogies. We illustrate o…

The scales of the questionnaire were based upon a set of conceptions of mathematics identified in an earlier phenomenographic study of students studying mathematics. The scales represented fragmented and cohesive conceptions of mathematics. Evidence was found supporting both th…
