Explanation : The following considerations would weigh
in the researcher's decision if ICT is to be
used.
• Appropriateness of the tool used
• Cost involved in procuring it
• Availability of tools in the department where
research is to be undertaken
The company of the ICT tool is immaterial
as long as the tool is suitable for the
researcher's requirement. The supervisor
is entitled to help with the research subject/
topic and thesis rather than the tool which
the researcher chooses to use.
