NVivo Quick Start 1: Creating a Project and Importing Data
In the first of our NVivo Quick Start sessions we’ll show you how to create an NVivo project and import your data. We’ll also discuss the usefulness of folders and memos, and show you how to create them.
There are no prerequisites other than an interest in qualitative data analysis software.
NVivo Quick Start 2: Introducing Coding
Once you’ve set-up your NVivo project, you’ll need to start coding your data. This session will introduce the various techniques for coding in NVivo, including how to work with your codes and view coding context. We’ll also provide a few tips for the coding process.
This session is for those new to NVivo – please watch NVivo Quick Start 1 beforehand.
NVivo Quick Start 3: Exploring with Text Queries
This session covers two popular queries in NVivo – text search and word frequency queries. These queries will allow you to look for specific instances of words or phrases, or identify the most frequently occurring words across your data. We’ll also cover the visualization tools that are associated with these two queries.
This session is for those new to NVivo – please watch NVivo Quick Start 1 and 2 beforehand.
