So I consulted with my writing group peers. I felt there is just too much information than I can handle at this point. Even though I would love to interview some participants for a more direct and personal interaction about their experience, I just don't have the time and capacity to 1) conduct the interviews, 2) record in some fashion the content of the interviews, and 3) analyze the interviews. They all think it is fine that I don't do the interviews and I think so too. I will still see if I could talk to the instructor. I know he is very busy too but it would be meaningful to add his perspective of how class has been going.
Honestly speaking, the amount of content (class materials + online discussions) is as much as I can handle by myself. If I have a research assistant, maybe this is a different story. From the blogs I can tell that some people think the content could be beefed up, others think more interactions would make this a more meaningful experience. I agree with both yet I worry about how much I can take as a researcher.
