Abstract
Teaching qualitative IS research is a fundamental concern for the future health of the discipline. We draw on our experiences as both practitioners of qualitative research methods and teachers of qualitative IS research courses to offer guidelines to instructors about elements to consider in the design of an introductory PhD level course on qualitative IS research. We highlight and dispel some myths and misconceptions that are often associated with qualitative IS research, note the importance of theory and offer an extended set of recommendations. We illustrate the recommendations with a complete course outline, including activities and readings. We emphasise the critical importance of students putting their newly acquired skills into practice, so as to experience the full richness of qualitative research.
