The name is absent

not peculiar to illuminative research when immersion in the data enables

categories to emerge from it rather than to be decided upon long before

the

research

takes

place .

This is the case with much work informed by

traditional methodologies.

At the end of the day the question of partiality and possible bias has to

be answered empirically.

At the time in the life of the innovation when

the research was undertaken detailed knowledge of underlying parameters

was

needed.

This necessitated

methodology which would reveal

the

experience

the concerns

the disquiets and satisfactions of the course

for

its participants.

Following from this research was

required to

demonstrate the operation of the underlying structures and processes:

the

flexibility of the illuminative research paradigm offered the opportunity

for this to be accomplished.

However ,

the limitations,

the gaps

the

omissions that remain are

in any research project,

the responsibility

of the writer rather than the methodology.
