About Microsoft Visio Pro
Microsoft Visio Pro is a common diagramming tool that enables the creation of vector graphics.
Some common examples include the following:
Flowcharts to describe work or research processes
Basic diagrams
BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) diagrams (with built-in validation based on rule sets)
Database systems
Floor plans
Network designs
Data-created visuals (with uploaded Excel spreadsheets used in Visio templates from MS Visio Online and/or the Excel backstage)
Are you a master’s or doctoral student? If so, it is likely that you will be conducting research as part of your studies. At some point, you may be writing a thesis, report, or dissertation to record your work to share with the profession and the world. K-State has made available templates (in Microsoft Word and LaTeX) for students to use, in order to ensure that they include all required information in the proper formatting.
“Getting Started with ETDR Templates” is an online training on Zoom from 1 – 2:30 p.m., Monday, Apr. 25.
Adobe InDesign is the premiere layout tool for various electronic and print publications, designs, artifacts, interactive PDFs, forms, and other contents.

How to query the collected data in an NVivo project (word frequency counts, text searches, matrix coding queries, matrix queries, proximity text searches, and other forms of text parsing)
How to create data visualizations (word trees, word clouds, dendrograms, ring lattice graphs, sociograms, and others) (for analysis and presentations)
How to conduct four types of auto-coding (by extracted themes and subthemes, by sentiment analysis, by structured data, and by supervised machine learning based on existing human coding)
How to set up a qualitative cross-tabulation analysis
How to output a basic report (including a custom codebook)
“Tapping Social Media Data with NCapture and NVivo” will be offered 1:30-3:30 p.m. Friday, Apr. 1, on Zoom.
