Using Internet to conduct Research - a discussion agenda

Based on Bryman and Bell (2011), I set the following agenda for discussion of how to use Internet to conduct Research:

1. Internet as a source of published resources
2. Internet as a meants to collect data from individuals
3. Virtual ethnography and netnography
4. Online focus groups and online interviews
5. Online survey (e.g. email surveys and web surveys)
6. Considerations as related to sampling
7. Ethical considerations in Internet-based research

You should refer to Bryman and Bell (2011) for a detailed discussion of the topics listed above.
