First, do not discount pen/pencil and papermethods. Students might actually prefer such approaches but it will depend on the exact contextof the study. Second, although quantitative-type questions facilitate compilation and analysis ofdata, be sure to leave adequate space for free responses as this was important to focus groupparticipants. However, we recognize that implementation of the pen/pencil and paper method inreal-time could be a complex task even though it is low technology
