“…For example, tablet based delivery may facilitate access to a wider and more ecologically valid sample (Musch & Reips, 2000). Indeed, in recent years, there has been an increase in the use of online surveys to target populations that are difficult to access (Andrews, Nonnecke, & Preece, 2003) or have shared motivations or interests (Wright, 2002). This form of data collection is time and…”

“…To do so, this researcher built a website to advertise the nature and scope of study. This served multiple purposes such as acting as a simple access point for all related information, along with indicating the initial announcement and subsequent open response period (Andrews, Nonnecke & Preece, 2003;Archer, 2008;Bennett, & Nair, 2010). The survey was advertised on 13 internet/social media forums that cater to expatriates locally (in addition to word of mouth).…”

“…The design of the website also took into account advice from the literature for universal access as it was made mobile friendly (Andrews et al, 2003), and the survey tool chosen, SurveyMonkey, specialized in conducting surveys (Waclawski, 2012). Moreover, SurveyMonkey would also provide better data security (Barchard & Williams, 2008), easier logic features, and a question bank to draw from if needed (Waclawski, 2012).…”

Recognizing the expatriate and transnational distance student: A preliminary demographic exploration in the Republic of Korea

Descriptions of distance students in the literature are robust. Yet when speaking about students outside of a national context, nuance is lost by the failure to identify the complexity in borderless higher education. The global student body is often too broadly categorized as "international" when in reality, this can be further refined to produce two additional classifications that more appropriately identify and describe a hitherto invisible phenomenon: the expatriate and transnational distance student. Utilizing respondent-driven sampling, student demographic and academic program data were collected using these two operational definitions. The resulting data suggests a potential profile for the expatriate/transnational distance student phenomenon as manifested in South Korea, along with broader demographic and program characteristics. As a nascent phenomenon and introductory inquiry, the research is limited in scope with the intention of a) establishing a taxonomy for the distance education community, b) a practical method for investigation, and c) avenues for further research such as student characteristics, motivation, attrition/retention, etc. Such insight would assist policy/guidelines for universities, their programs, and instructors.

“…Web sites as a medium for enquiries have been in use since the early 1990's, and have been found to be reliable, however difficult to control regarding randomness and how well they represent the "off-line" population (Andrews, Nonnecke, & Preece, 2003). Participants were recruited through mailing lists and informal contacts to a final number of 124 (57 women and 67 men).…”

Semantic Assessments of Experienced Biodiversity from Photographs and On-Site Observations – A Comparison

Since the 1960's, public assessments of landscapes have often been carried out using photographic representations. How reliable and valid are these assessments compared with on-site observations? In the present study, participants have been asked to judge different areas in terms of a limited feature: the biodiversity of the area.Digitalized photos from six different study areas were made available on the Internet, along with a questionnaire consisting of a semantic form with specific words/expressions to be rated in relation to the photos (four per area). Participants were recruited via mailing lists and informal contacts. These results were compared with a study in which students and ecologists had rated the same places using the same form, but this time on-site. The Internet participants were also asked to state their profession/education to make comparisons possible. The comparisons revealed differences between on-site and photo-based ratings, but the main difference was expressed by on-site biologists regarding areas with the highest experienced biodiversity values, possibly due to their higher degree of expertise and use of more senses than can be used when judging photographs. Concerning laymen in particular, it is concluded that the comparison between on-site and photo-based ratings is not conclusive enough to allow us to determine whether it is appropriate to use one method as a substitute for the other.
