Between the comfort of using a medium they use daily and the
perceived easiness of access and use, students are increasingly
quick to choose online methods for their research projects. However
getting data online isn't as easy as it seems. No matter how data
is collected (through existing materials, through elicited
responses, or through work with participants) or what type of
online data is used (e.g. blogs, websites, interviews, etc.), there
are a lot of unique and complex considerations that must be
factored in to every step of the research process. This Little
Quick Fix boils down all these potentially thorny issues into a
speedy guide so students thinking about working with online data
can be prepared for (and avoid) any unexpected circumstances like
access issues or ethical dilemmas. It will also help students
decide what, if any, online data is best suited to their particular
research question so they don't end up fighting unnecessary
complications for little benefit. It covers: What types of data
collection do researchers conduct online? How do I choose which
type(s) fit my research? How can I find, and get permission to use,
data that exists online? How can I find, and gain consent from,
participants online? How can I interact with participants online to
collect data? What practical steps should I take to prepare for
online research? Little Quick Fix titles provide quick but
authoritative answers to the problems, hurdles, and assessment
points students face in the research course, project proposal, or
design-whatever their methods learning is. Lively, ultra-modern
design; full-colour, each page a tailored design. An hour's read.
Easy to dip in and out of with clear navigation enables the reader
to find what she needs-quick. Direct written style gets to the
point with clear language. Nothing needs to be read twice. No
fluff. Learning is reinforced through a 2-minute overview summary;
3-second summaries with super-quick Q&A. DIY tasks create a
work plan to accomplish a task, do a self-check quiz, solve a
problem, get students to what they need to show their supervisor.
Checkpoints in each section make sure students are nailing it as
they go and support self-directed learning. How do I know I'm done?
Each Little Quick Fix wraps up with a final checklist that allows
the reader to self-assess they've got what they need to progress,
submit, or ace the test or task.
