Reflection Assignment
However, there is a reading assignment. Based on the reading assignment there is a reflection requirement. This is basically a written paragraph of about five to six sentences about what you have read. Your reflection should be posted on the discussion board (remember it is just a paragraph of five to six sentences) regarding your readings for this week.

Internet Based Research
There are several ways in which the Internet may be used to support and/or conduct research. These are:
Access to resources: Search capabilities on the Internet provide access to published work, information about other data sources such as historical archives, research-related services, and communication with other researchers.
Participant recruitment: Online support groups, professional organizations, and special interest group websites and blogs are just a few of the ways that participants can be recruited over the Web.
Replace paper-and-pencil surveys and tests: The Internet provides a more efficient way to collect data. Data input is already done and accuracy may be higher.
Collect data on socially undesirable behavior and sensitive topics: People are often more willing to share this type of data in the more anonymous-appearing environment of the Internet (Gosling & Mason, 2015).

Behavior on the Internet as a potential topic for research: The way in which people communicate with each other over the Internet (Hine, 2011), how they obtain health-related information electronically, and how groups provide support to their members over the Internet are just a few examples of behaviors that can be studied.
Tracking outbreaks: A potentially important use of the Internet is to track outbreaks of disease and other health concerns.

Prerecruited Panels, List Based Sampling, Harvested Email Addresses, Self-Selected Surveying, and Intercept Surveys
Participant Testing and Interviewing
Computer-assisted testing (CAT) has a long and generally successful track record and some attractive features that paper-and-pencil tests lack. Questionnaires may be designed so that participants are not asked questions that are inapplicable. For example, if you do not smoke, then questions about number of packs a day or type of tobac
