From Zero To Nvivo (Release 1)

Impress everyone with your data analysis

What you'll learn

Use NVivo for Qualitative data analysis

Explore the data, make a note of your observations and link these notes to other elements of the project

Categorize your data into folders, sets and cases

Understand and use File and Case classifications

Assign attributes and values (e.g. gender, age or any other chosen characteristic) to your Files and Cases

Compare cases and files by attributes and values (e.g. did men and women express similar views?)

Code the data

Create, delete, rename, merge and aggregate codes

Carry out two stages of coding (initial and focused codes) and turn these codes into Themes

Use a Matrix Coding Query and CrossTab Query to explore and compare coded concepts against assigned attributes and values

Use word frequency and text search queries

Create Mind Maps reflecting your assumptions, observations and expectations

Create Project Maps and Concept Maps to explore and visualise links in your project

Use Autocoding and understand its limitations

Use NVivo to analyze Focus Group data

Use NVivo to analyze Questionnaire data

THINK like a professional qualitative researcher!

Requirements

NO data set is required (you will be provided with a sample data set to work with)

You should have a licensed NVivo (ideally the Release 1 version) software installed on your computer

The course was recorded on the WINDOWS version, and although it is very similar to the MAC version, some may find the differences confusing

Description

"A million times better than the ones at my uni! " - Claire L. Johnston "I highly recommend this course and instructor. He is a savior for the new researcher!!!!" - Jody BergstromWhether you are completely new to NVivo, or have some previous experience with it, you will find this course both useful and enjoyable. I am a professional researcher, research consultant and academic tutor, and in this course, I will teach you complex ideas in a simple and approachable way and I will make sure that when you complete it:- you will be able to use a variety of functions of NVivo, ranging from simple note-making, sorting and coding to more complex data queries (see the details in the "What you'll learn" section above)- you will understand how NVivo can help you take Your data analysis to a higher level. You will have a good understanding of what can be done to enrich your data analysis and how to use NVivo for this purpose- you will impress your supervisors, teachers, employers or colleagues with the depth of the analysis you undertakeThe best thing about this course is that all lessons are logically connected - the analytic ideas that emerge early in the course when we record our initial thoughts will be later tested when we learn to code and conduct various coding queries. I do not just talk about how to conduct a given query without first explaining what this query is, how it will help us, and why we may want to conduct it in the first place!This is, in fact, what my students seem to like most about my courses - the way I explain things, the way the lessons are organised and the way I support my students throughout (I am very responsive to messages and always do my best to assist each student personally). I hope that you will take this course and we will soon embark on this exciting analytic journey together! PS you don't even need your own data for this course - I provide you with a sample data set that I am using in the videos ! :) ! Please not that the course was recorded on the WINDOWS version, and although it is very similar to the MAC version, some may find the differences confusing
