Abstract
When faced with the challenge of limited resources and participants that span state and institutional borders, researchers still have technological options available to them for data collection. This presentation summarizes how I conducted video interviews with these types of participants using the internet software Elluminate. This presentation highlights the possibilities for research using this methodology and the critical aspects for successful implementation.
