Everything related to Research Accelerator 2021 can be found in one place. If you're reading this FAQ that means you're already logged into your account, which is a great start! Use the navigation links down the left-hand side of the course dashboard to access the content for each day – links to attend the live sessions and all on demand content can be found here (as can exercise files, downloads, quizzes etc.).

There are two ways to ask questions during the event. Either post your question online (either on the video it relates to or in the community area) or attend one of the scheduled group Q&A sessions. If you can’t make the group Q&A sessions in-person, submit your question via email beforehand and we’ll be sure to address it (you can then watch the recording at a later time).

Descriptions of each session, including their duration and the level they are targeted at can be found in the full programme. Registration for each session isn't required – just turn up to each live session or access the videos on-demand at a time convenient to you.

Absolutely! You can upgrade your pass at any time – an Extended Access pass gives you access for 3 months (until February 28th, 2022) and a Membership Pass gives you access for 12 months (until November 30th, 2022). Contact us to arrange an upgrade to your pass (additional charges will apply).

All live sessions are recorded and we’ll make these available as soon as possible after the live event (we’ll also provide any associated training materials such as PowerPoint slides).

Webinars are scheduled for 10am NZDT and live Q&A sessions are at 4pm NZDT each day of the event. Day 3 and 5 have Bring Your Own Project sessions – these start at 1pm NZDT. You can access a full listing of all live sessions and add them directly into your calendar on the Live Sessions page.

We’ll be presenting our software sessions on Windows, but our training notes include instructions for Mac versions of the software we teach. We’ll be using the new version of NVivo, but alternative instructions will be provided if you’re still using NVivo 12. The SPSS session will be taught with version 27 (with extra notes for version 28), and we’ll be using Office 365 for the sessions that cover Word and Excel.

There are free versions of almost all of the applications we’ll be discussing on Day 5 – details of how you can access these are available in the programme for the event and within the sessions themselves.

We’re more than happy to answer quick questions you have about your research. We can’t provide more detailed assistance however e.g. the best NVivo set-up for your particular project or what statistical tests are appropriate for your research question. You’re more than welcome to book an individual consultation with one of our team if you need specific assistance – the cost of this is NZ$190 per hour. Contact us if you’d like to arrange this.
