4.3 Summary
This chapter presents the information gathered from survey, observation and
interview. The information from the survey is classed as quantitative data
because of the statistical results from the responses to sixty-four surveys.
The information from observation and interviews is classed as qualitative
data. The survey responses from the participants, who also did the interview,
are classed as qualitative data as well and are presented in detail for each
participant. The survey responses are combined with the interview responses
from the same participant as cases in this study.
Although the information gathered from each participant is classed as one
case, the responses from different participants for the same question or a
group of questions are divided into one group. The responses of each group
correspond with the research questions. The relationship between the survey
and interview with the research questions is presented in the next chapter:
Data Analysis. The data analysis is based on the findings presented in this
chapter. The data analysis leads the researcher to address the outcome for
this research, i.e. the answers to the research main question: “How had the
availability of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) on campus affected
students?”
The observation data is not presented in the same way as the researcher
recorded in the journal notes. It is a summary of the two observations by the
researcher.
Some participants mentioned some wireless information in their responses,
and the information from the participants is different from each other. The
reader of this study may want to compare this with the formal information.
The research presents the wireless information from the provider as the last
