paragraph description of the purpose of the study; the purpose statement provides the goal of the study. The purpose statement should also reflect the research questions, the research design, the participants and data sources used, and the geographic position of the study (Northcentral University, 2013).

To this end, first, this study will employ a constructivist-interpretative case study design. As a model, constructivist-interpretative depends on a hermeneutic thought process wherein study participants involved are able to provide data reflecting their background, experiences and relevant applications to improving the online doctoral educational process (Mackenzie & Knipe, 2006). Accordingly, this approach would allow for the deriving of meaningful
