After selecting your information sources, you need to use appropriate methods and tools to gather information from them. Depending on the type and amount of required information, you might use interviews, surveys, focus groups, document reviews, observations, assessments, and evaluations. For example, interviews are one-on-one conversations with your sources where you can ask open-ended and probing questions. Surveys are structured questionnaires that can be administered to a large number of sources with closed-ended and rating questions. Focus groups are group discussions with a few sources for dialogue and exchange of ideas. Document reviews involve analyzing existing documents or records containing relevant information for your project. Observations involve direct or indirect observations of the behavior, performance, or environment of your sources. Assessments are tests or quizzes measuring the knowledge or skills of your sources. Evaluations are systematic and criteria-based judgments of the effectiveness or impact of your learning solution. You can conduct these activities in person or online using tools like Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, SurveyMonkey, Google Forms, Qualtrics, cameras, video recorders, screen capture software, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat, Quizlet, Kahoot, and Kirkpatrick Model.
