Mar. 18: Intro to NVivo

NVIVOAn “Intro to NVivo” training is scheduled from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Friday, Mar. 18, for all faculty, graduate students, and staff who may be using this qualitative (and mixed methods, multimethods) data analysis tool.  This session will occur on Zoom.

This presentation, which covers NVivo 12 Plus  / NVivo (newest) basics, will address the following:

  • The basic parts of the NVivo 12 Plus interface
  • How to start and structure a research project (including a team project)
  • How to set up a project around a base language (Chinese/PRC, English/US, English/UK, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese/Brazil, and Spanish
  • How to ingest various multimedia file types (and curate heterogeneous and semi-structured digital data and digitized contents)
  • How to ingest some social media contents
  • How to begin manual and/or automated coding various media file types
  • How to run data queries in the tool and analyze resulting data visualizations (word clouds, word trees, matrices, geographical maps, bar charts, and others)
  • How to back up the .nvp / .nvpx project file

There will also be a brief section on some of the new affordances of NVivo 12 Plus (including qualitative cross-tabulations).

The presenter will be using the Windows version of the software. This will be an interactive session. No RSVP is required.

Caveat

K-State does not have a site license for NVivo. Student licenses are available by subscription for NVivo for Windows, or the NVivo for Mac (which has fewer capabilities).  The student subscriptions are for a year at a time.

QSR International training

QSR International offers some video tutorials and both free and for-pay events.

An additional reference

Those who have already started using NVivo may want to refer to “Using NVivo: An Unofficial and Unauthorized Primer,” which is an e-book built on the Scalar platform that highlights various features of the software tool.

Questions

Registration is not required.  However, K-Staters who want a formal record of their attendance to be noted may register via HRIS or or sign up in-person at the event (and they’ll be credited shortly after the event).

If there are questions, please email shalin@k-state.edu or call 785-532-5262. Thank you for your interest.  All are welcome.
