I have been a member of the Mixed Methods International Research Association (MMIRA) for a few years now. It is a truly international interest group with chapters representing a variety of countries or regions, and a governing board of international scholars. One of the best benefits is the mixed methods MOOC. One reason I am a fan is that I have just completed a module (on mixed methods secondary analysis), and another is that I have not had access to many academic courses on mixed methods. I have completed a couple of the modules in the first two seasons, and I was able to virtually, asynchronously attend courses taught by known scholars including Elizabeth Creamer, Joseph Maxwell, and Jennifer Greene. Membership is required for access to the MOOC, but membership costs, especially student ($25) are pretty reasonable. When you consider the cost of some single session online workshops, having access to the entire expanding MMIRA MOOC for the basic fee of $65 is a pretty good deal.
