From Zero to NVivo - version 2020 (the one Before NVivo 14)

Description

"A million times better than the ones at my uni! " - Claire L. Johnston

"I highly recommend this course and instructor. He is a savior for the new researcher!" - Jody Bergstrom

Whether you are completely new to NVivo, or have some previous experience with it, you will find this course both useful and enjoyable.

I am a professional researcher, research consultant and academic tutor, and in this course, I will teach you complex ideas in a simple and approachable way and I will make sure that when you complete it:

- you will be able to use a variety of functions of NVivo, ranging from simple note-making, sorting and coding to more complex data queries (see the details in the "What you'll learn" section above)

- you will understand how NVivo can help you take Your data analysis to a higher level. You will have a good understanding of what can be done to enrich your data analysis and how to use NVivo for this purpose

- you will impress your supervisors, teachers, employers or colleagues with the depth of the analysis you undertake

The best thing about this course is that all lessons are logically connected - the analytic ideas that emerge early in the course when we record our initial thoughts will be later tested when we learn to code and conduct various coding queries. I do not just talk about how to conduct a given query without first explaining what this query is, how it will help us, and why we may want to conduct it in the first place!

This is, in fact, what my students seem to like most about my courses - the way I explain things, the way the lessons are organised and the way I support my students throughout (I am very responsive to messages and always do my best to assist each student personally).

I hope that you will take this course and we will soon embark on this exciting analytic journey together! 

PS you don't even need your own data for this course - I provide you with a sample data set that I am using in the videos ! :) 

! Please not that the course was recorded on the WINDOWS version, and although it is very similar to the MAC version, some may find the differences confusing

What You Will Learn!

• Use NVivo for Qualitative data analysis
• Explore the data, make a note of your observations and link these notes to other elements of the project
• Categorize your data into folders, sets and cases
• Understand and use File and Case classifications
• Assign attributes and values (e.g. gender, age or any other chosen characteristic) to your Files and Cases
• Compare cases and files by attributes and values (e.g. did men and women express similar views?)
• Code the data
• Create, delete, rename, merge and aggregate codes
• Carry out two stages of coding (initial and focused codes) and turn these codes into Themes
• Use a Matrix Coding Query and CrossTab Query to explore and compare coded concepts against assigned attributes and values
• Use word frequency and text search queries
• Create Mind Maps reflecting your assumptions, observations and expectations
• Create Project Maps and Concept Maps to explore and visualise links in your project
• Use Autocoding and understand its limitations
• Use NVivo to analyze Focus Group data
• Use NVivo to analyze Questionnaire data
• THINK like a professional qualitative researcher!

Who Should Attend!

• Those willing to learn to use NVivo for Qualitative data analysis (Beginner Level)
• Those who have already used this software but want to develop their skills further (Pre-intermediate Level)
• Students undertaking their Master's/PhD study
• Academics & Researchers wishing to improve their skill set
• Recent graduates wishing to increase their employability (being able to use NVivo is a valued skill in research and academic jobs)
