Abstract

Most educators do qualitative research via focus groups, email or paper surveys. However, this is impracticable for some populations especially those with special needs and their families. A DePaul faculty member decided that her research would be better served if the participants could use online chats and surveys rather than the traditional methods. This session will cover how DePaul University's Information Services (IS) and faculty joined together to offer online resources as an alternative to the traditional methods. We will discuss what IS' business case project methodology is, how the business case was created, how we set up the environment for online chats and surveys, and how the data is analyzed.
