What is constant is the “Change”. Key to development, innovations and improvisations is “Change”. As the name itself signifies “re-search”, if we search again using new tools and techniques, we may come across the unexpected results which may be desired in contemporary times. The process of research needs to be upgraded and upscale. The reason is pretty simple, technology is evolving very quickly. Emerging are those technical innovations which represent progressive innovations within a field of research. The researchers of the time have adopted many technological devices for their research work like computer assisted data analysis packages (CADAP), tablet computers, cloud based computing etc. The spread of video and photographic technology means that images can be used both as sources of data and as tools for data collection. The digital form much audio and video data now takes makes possible new ways of creating, processing and analyzing such data. The parallel growth of the Internet also makes available new ways of collecting qualitative data and new settings in which to collect it. This paper attempts to describe various types of tools which can be practiced by researchers to enhance and improve the experience of conducting qualitative research.
