<p>The Hopscotch Model and web tool constitutes a tool to help researchers to thoroughly accomplish with the stages included in the design of qualitative research studies, as well as a conceptual model for faculty teaching research methods to design comprehensive syllabi in the field of qualitative research. The model helps potential researchers to incorporate the theoretical background behind qualitative research, and the intrinsic complexity of the multiple technical procedures that could be followed within the many different traditions in the field. The model is supported by an easy to use webtool that will drive users through the design of qualitative research studies.</p>
