[ICT-research] Quantitative methods in ICT-Education research

[David Nutchey]

Afternoon all,

Has anybody out there given any consideration/critique to the 
suitability of quantitative research designs in the study of ICT's in 
education. I have read few articles that briefly suggested that 
quantitative techniques often failed to accurately measure impact. I 
guess the point was that there are too many variables in the equation 
for a quantitative approach to manage.

Perhaps this is a vague question - it is getting late...

Any ideas, suggestions of opinions?

TIA,
Dave
