Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chris's study involves observation and informal interviews to gain an in-depth understanding of the computer lab culture, which is a characteristic of qualitative research. Chris is not collecting both qualitative and quantitative data simultaneously (convergent parallel research) or starting with exploratory research followed by explanatory research (exploratory and explanatory sequential research).
