Abstract

The challenge of research issues in the time of Covid is an opportunity to participate in a community of practice seeking to indentify alternative ways to carry out research. Coming from a methodological background in digital and visual research methods in education and educational technology research, this presentation shares approaches to postgraduate level educational research in the time of Covid: studying ‘schooling’ when ‘schooling’, staff and students are online/offline/hybrid. It concludes with a number of tools to think with that have resonances across disciplines, focusing on what is similar rather than different in a community of practice initiated in response to the Covid-19 retrictions on fieldwork.
