International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education welcomes submissions to the thematic series on 'Mixed Methods Research in Educational Technology in Higher Education'.

In the last three decades, mixed methods research (MMR) has considerably expanded in the social and behavioural sciences. MMR is defined as “research in which the investigator collects and analyses data, integrates the findings, and draws inferences using both qualitative and quantitative approaches or methods in a single study or program of inquiry” (Tashakkori & Creswell, 2007, p. 4).” On that basis, a growing number of scholars are emphasising the added value from using MMR, including, among other things, the opportunity to expand the breadth and depth of the social phenomena under investigation and to offset the weaknesses of one method with the advantages of the other.

Deadline for submissions: 1 October, 2017
