Online approaches can provide a cost-effective way to generate and manage data and are particularly suitable for projects that require panel engagement, or national or international spread.
They can also be particularly helpful when dealing with sensitive issues, or with iterative, deliberative approaches.
Our online offer includes:
- online focus groups
- hosting online surveys
- developing bespoke online panels
- developing online questionnaires for client hosting.
We have extensive contacts with supplier companies that manage online panels for relevant groups (for example, parents, young people, employers and consumers).
We are experienced in developing online Ning groups to test and develop products and resources.
Our experience
We have useful expertise in online methodology in both our qualitative and quantitative domains. For example, we are currently managing an online panel for the National Science Learning Centre. This panel is made up of over 1,000 science teachers who are invited to an online forum to debate issues, share ideas on resources and provide insight into key policy issues.
