The method of online survey is used in this study. This has been used for the

An online survey is the systematic gathering of data from the target audience
questionnaire over the World Wide Web. One of the advantages of a web-based
survey is that it involves minimal costs. It facilitates low-cost and fast data
collection from the target population. Online survey also provides the highest level
of convenience for the respondents because they can answer the questionnaire
according to their own pace, chosen time, and preferences. However, this method
is not applicable for surveys that require respondents who do not have an access

The data for this research were collected using an online survey questionnaire.
The survey was created using suitable questions modified from related research
and individual questions formed by the researcher. The survey was comprised of
20 questions. The results of the survey were collected from January 26, 2014 to
are received. The results are organized by Google spreadsheet with graphs and
tables describing the total feedback of each respondent. There were no incentives
In getting the sample size, the researchers used the Slovins formula which is, n=
area, while e, stands for the margin of error that the researchers can consider
tolerable. The researchers used .20 as the margin of error. The data collected were
tabulated and analyzed. Analyses of data were guided by mean and percentage.
Slovins formula:
n= sample size
where:
N = total population
e = margin of error
