Instructional design and tutorial strategies in online training courses on qualitative research methodology

This article locates a didactic and methodological perspective which is seldom covered in the literature on online training. Most of the published studies describe the objectives of a course and basic methodological ideas, entering more in depth in the results. Only a few articles recount how this training process in research methodology courses has been carried out. To cover this necessity, we present a proposal that we have delivered in a course of postgraduate students at the University of Seville. We attempt to delve into the keys of instructional design and online tutorial strategies. Results have been very satisfactory, including an outstanding acceptance on the part of the students. The learning objectives have been completed, as completed learning tasks and students' own answers have been shown. However, many tutor hours were required for the development of this training in addition to the number of hours required for delivery and tutorials.
