You have access to 30 different research methods courses as part of Research Accelerator Toolkit, and while this will be extremely helpful for your postgraduate studies, it can also be a little overwhelming! We'd love to provide you with a roadmap for exactly what to watch, but everyone has different levels of research and software experience, which makes this really difficult to do. 

One way to explore the content is to use the navigation options down the left-hand side of the course library – these will allow you to filter courses based on research type, level of experience or software. There's also a search box if you're looking for something specific.

While we can't give you an exact roadmap, we can make some general suggestions:

  • If you're brand new to NVivo and want to learn about the software for your qualitative research, start with the NVivo Foundations series. You might not need some of the intermediate level courses in this series, but they would be useful to watch to give you an overview of the software. 

 

 


 

  • If you're brand new to Statistics and SPSS, then the Statistics Foundations series will be perfect for you. Make sure you work through these in order!

 

  • If you're familiar with the basics of SPSS, then you might find the Diving Deeper into SPSS course helpful. If you're already familiar with the basics of statistics and statistical testing then our courses might not be quite right for you – we only cover basic statistics as part of Research Accelerator (at this stage).
