สรุป	An online semi-structured interview is a qualitative data collection technique in which a researcher conducts a guided but flexible conversation with a participant over a digital medium — video call, telephone, chat, or email — using a prepared interview guide with open-ended questions while remaining free to probe, reorder, or add follow-up questions as the dialogue unfolds. It combines the accessibility of remote communication with the depth and adaptability of semi-structured inquiry.	An online structured interview applies the classical structured interview protocol — a fixed set of predetermined questions asked in a fixed order — via internet-mediated channels such as video conferencing, synchronous chat, or email. Every participant receives the exact same questions, enabling systematic comparison across respondents while eliminating geographic barriers. It combines the standardization benefits of face-to-face structured interviewing with the reach, cost efficiency, and scheduling flexibility of online data collection.
