Sources/data can be organised using folders (recommended for the start), sets (used later to gather sources/nodes from different folders) and search folders (?). Source classifications – using case nodes to manage bibliographic data.Node classifications – apparently intended for “demographic attributes”.Classification sheets used to view the values for these nodes. Includes “case” node to store attributes. Provides access to all the references to that node. Coding and nodes – you code your source material into nodes.Framework matrices – to summarise source materials.Memos – the place you store your insights about the analysis.Internals – the sources that can be imported into Nvivo.Sources – the (multimedia) stuff you’re analysing.The nice “ understand the key concepts” section seems to list four (only four?) Key conceptsĪll systems have some abstractions they use. I’ll borrow some of that for the process below. Nice and very early introduction of sample research projects and how you’d go about doing that research. Help that seems to be well designed (at version 10 of the product you’d hope they’d built up some expertise). On first glance, it appears NVivo comes with some significant help. I was going to include both help from Nvivo and the broader web, but so far the NVivo documentation is providing sufficient. (Remember, the aim here is mostly to learn Nvivo so the limitations of my “research” questions are noted) Sourcing assistance Is there any difference between offerings or mode of delivery (on-campus, which campus, online)?.What themes do the student comments cover?.

Start with the question(s)Īs with all good research, I’ll start with the questions I want to answer with this analysis. So rather than having useful data to import easily, I’ll have to kludge up the importation of some hamstrung data. de-identified course evaluation data with responses grouped by student) “is not given out in any form”. I’m going to use the task of analysing student comments from the evaluation of a course as a test case.Īside: Just been told that “raw” data (i.e. What follows is some initial explorations into the use of NVivo for the qualitative analysis of content.
