Advantages And Disadvantages Of
Using Online Tools To Gather Data
Presentation

Using online tools to


gather data has
advantages and
disadvantages. Do you
have any idea about it?
ADVANTAGES
1. LOW COSTS – Due to
drastically lower
overhaed, collecting data
does not have to cost you
thousands of pesos.
ADVANTAGES
2. AUTOMATION & REAL-TIME
ACCESS – Respondents input their
own data, and its automatically stored
electronically. Analysis thus becomes
easier and can be streamlined, and is
available immediately.
ADVANTAGES
3. LESS TIME – Rapid deployment
and return times are possible with
online surveys that cannot be attained
by traditional methods. If you have
bad contact information for some
respondents you’ll know it almost
right after you’ve sent out your
surveys.
ADVANTAGES
4. CONVENIENCE FOR
RESPONDENTS - They can
answer questions on their
schedule, at their pace, and can
even start a survey at one time,
stop, and complete it later.
ADVANTAGES
5. DESIGN FLEXIBILITY – Surveys
can be programmed even if they are
very complex. Intricate skip patterns
and logic can be employed seamlessly.
You can also require that resondents
provide only one response to single-
choice questions, which cuts down on
error.
ADVANTAGES
6. NO INTERVIEWER –
Responndents may be more willing to
share personal information because
they’re not disclosing it directly to
another person. Interviewers can also
influence responses in some cases.
DISADVANTAGES
1. LIMITED SAMPLING &
RESPONDENT AVAILABILITY –
Certain populations are less likely to
have internet access and to respond to
online questionnaires. It is also harder
to draw probability samples based on
e-mail addresses or website
visitations.
DISADVANTAGES
2. POSSIBLE COOPERATION
PROBLEMS – Although online
surveys in many fields can attain
response rates equal to or slightly
higher than that of traditional modes,
internet users today are constantly
bombarded by messages and can
easily delete your advances.
DISADVANTAGES
3. NO INTERVIEWER – A
lack of a trained interviewer
to clarify and probe can
possibly lead to less reliable
data.
