Interviews demand scheduled conversations, while an online survey can remain open for several weeks. A platform such as SurveyMonkey can collect responses while the researcher manages work or family commitments, especially when the link circulates through social media. The system should protect both researcher and respondent data, and identifying information should appear only as an optional invitation for follow-up. Larger response pools make anomalous or unserious entries easier to identify and reduce their effect on the findings.

Survey deployment, privacy, and sample size
Online surveys can collect data while the researcher handles other commitments, but the platform must protect respondents and optional contact details must remain a deliberate choice.
