The first of a series of trainings on NVivo, a qualitative and mixed methods data analysis tool, will be held 2-4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20, at 301 Hale Library. The presenter is Cynthia Jacobs of QSR International.
This interactive presentation will introduce attendees to setting up a project in NVivo and then using the tool to explore the data. More specifically, this will cover the NVivo workspace; how to create a project; how to import documents (including importation of data through NCapture); how to create memos and annotations; how to identify themes in the data; how to set up data “nodes”; how to apply text analysis tools; and other capabilities (such as using survey data).
Those who want to participate from their own computers may register at www2.gotomeeting.com/register/185034266. Once they have registered, they will receive an email with a link that they may use to join this K-State session.
Please plan to attend online or in-person, and feel free to bring questions! Hale 301 will be open from 1:30-4:30 p.m. for this event, to allow people to settle in with their laptops and to meet up with fellow qualitative and mixed methods researchers.
