Additionally, it was found that the completion rate for a web-based instrument (97.1%) was greater than the paper-based instrument (81.8%), providing further evidence of the greater completion rates for web-based instruments (Denscombe, 2006). With the benefits associated with a web survey targeted to a sample, a web based survey offered the greatest potential for a high response rate. Using this method, I believed it was reasonable to expect at least a 50% response rate, which would exceed the calculated sample size of 289.
