  10. Email as a habitat “…I don’t want to file that yet, because it’s active … there are things that are happening as a result of that. It’s easier for me to find it. So I want to keep in my “in” box, keep it current.” — participant from Whittaker & Sidner Computer-Mediated Communication — Cheshire & Fiore

  11. Email as a habitat “[Email] is the best that’s ever happened for covering your ass … because while the guy’s on the phone, he says, well, I sent that to you a week and a half ago, and you think, shit, I never saw that. But you say, ‘really? Yeah, oh yeah, I remember reading that,’ as you’re reading it.” — participant from Whittaker & Sidner Computer-Mediated Communication — Cheshire & Fiore

  26. Choosing Quantitative and Qualitative Approaches and Understanding Inductive and Deductive Research Computer-Mediated Communication — Cheshire & Fiore

  27. HowversusWhy “How do you write a paper?” “How do you use your computer?” “Why do you write a paper?” “Why do you use your computer?” Computer-Mediated Communication — Cheshire & Fiore

  28. Which Methodological Approach is Appropriate? Depends on the Nature of the Research Problem and Question. • “Understanding a concept because there is little or no existing research on the topic” • “Identifying various factors which influence a specific outcome” • “Develop an understanding of a concept (or concepts) and be able to generalize findings to the larger population” Computer-Mediated Communication — Cheshire & Fiore

  29. Elements of Inquiry Knowledge Claims Strategies of Inquiry Methods Approaches to Research Design Process Questions Data collection Data analysis Qualitative Quantitative Mixed Methods Adapted from (Creswell 2003) Computer-Mediated Communication — Cheshire & Fiore

  30. Inductive Logic of Research in Qualitative Studies Generalizations are made, or Theories to Past Experience And Literature Researcher Looks for Broad Patterns, Generalizations, or Theories from Themes or Categories Researcher Analyzes Data to Form Themes Or Categories Researcher Asks Open-Ended Questions of Participants Or Records Field Notes Researcher Gathers Information Computer-Mediated Communication — Cheshire & Fiore

  31. The Deductive Approach in Typical Quantitative Research Researcher Tests or Verifies a Theory Researcher Tests Hypotheses or Research Questions From the Theory Researcher Defines and Operationalizes Variables Derived from the Theory Researcher Measures or Observes Variables Using an Instrument to Obtain Scores Computer-Mediated Communication — Cheshire & Fiore
