An “Intro to NVivo 11 Plus” training is 1:30-3:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, 401B Hale Library for all faculty, graduate students, and staff who may be using this qualitative (and mixed methods) data analysis tool.
This presentation, which covers NVivo basics, will address the following:
- how to download and install NVivo 10 or NVivo 11 Plus and input the license key
- how to download NCapture
- the basic parts of the NVivo 10 interface
- how to start and structure a research project (including a team project)
- how to ingest various multimedia file types (and curate heterogeneous data)
- how to ingest some social media contents
- how to begin coding various media file types
- how to back up the .nvp project file
There will also be a brief section on some of the new affordances of NVivo 11 (including network analysis and sentiment analysis). NVivo 11 will be available to all who are eligible for the K-State site license. Downloading from the QSR International site (vs. the K-State download) will save on software patching; however, the K-State site license must still be obtained from the protected site below.
The presenter will be using the Windows version of the software. This will be an interactive session. Participants are encouraged to bring their laptops. No RSVP is required.
