“…2 For example, one question asked which of a number of P values would be considered significant; another asked which of a selection of statements best represented the way that social constructionists view language. 3 A full description of this tool, and implementation details, is provided in Hewson (2007); it consists of an HTML form with embedded javascript commands and a CGI script which processes the data submitted. 4 The term 'assignment' was used in the questionnaire to maintain consistency with the module descriptions of the assessment elements.…”

To address concerns raised regarding the use of online course‐based summative assessment methods, a quasi‐experimental design was implemented in which students who completed a summative assessment either online or offline were compared on performance scores when using their self‐reported preferred or non‐preferred modes. Performance scores were found not to differ depending on whether the assessment was completed in the preferred or non‐preferred mode. These findings provide preliminary support for the validity of online assessment methods. Future studies could help determine the extent to which this finding generalizes beyond the assessment procedures and type of sample used here. Suggestions for follow‐up studies are offered, including exploring the validity of more complex computer‐related online assessment tasks and investigating the impact of using preferred and non‐preferred modes upon the quality of the student experience.

“…To date, few research studies have examined the extent to which Internet-mediated research facilitates the practice of mixed methods research. Earlier research studies that focus specifically on mixed methods designs suggest that the gathering of mixed methods data over the Internet is an important way mixed methods researchers can validate their offline research findings (Hewson, 2003(Hewson, , 2007(Hewson, , 2008. In addition, some mixed methods studies using the Internet for one component of a research project found that this practice serves to complement research findings from the offline component (Davis, Bolding, Hart, Sherr, & Elford, 2004).…”

This article provides an examination of a range of mixed methods research projects that employ Internet-mediated technologies (IMT) for data collection. Using a case study approach, this article allows for the uncovering of a process by which IMT are used as a data collection medium in mixed methods praxis. Under the theoretical position of medium theory, the impact of how going online and changing the ''mode'' of traditional research will be explored. Advantages, drawbacks, as well as ethical issues that emerge for mixed methods using the online medium are highlighted throughout the article. Finally, implications and directions for future research using IMT are discussed.

The open source movement has grown steadily and matured in recent years, and this growth has been mirrored by a rise in open source related research. The objective of this paper is to pause and reflect on the state of the field. We start by conducting a comprehensive literature review of open source research, and organize the resulting 618 peer-reviewed articles into a taxonomy. Elements of this taxonomy are defined and described. We then draw on a number of existing categorization schemes to develop a framework to situate open source research within a wider nomological network. Building on concepts from systems theory, we propose a holistic framework of open source research. This framework incorporates current research, as represented by the taxonomy, identifies gaps and areas of overlap, and charts a path for future work.
