NVivo looks like a Microsoft product – but it is not. NVivo can accommodate information from processing applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel, data bases such as IBM SPSS Statistics, bibliographic programs including EndNote, Zotero and RefWorks, web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well as social media such as Facebook, Twitter, OneNote, EverNote and QSR’s own package NCapture. NVivo now has the capacity to interchange data with many other software applications for seamless collection of multiple sources of relevant data and information. Whilst developed initially for qualitative social research the power and possibilities of NVivo has expanded enormously in recent years. Introduction What is NVivo software? NVivo is a qualitative data analysis (QDA) software package that allows users to import, sort and analyse rich text and plain text documents, audio files, spread sheets, databases, digital photos, documents, PDFs, bibliographical data, web pages and social media data. Objectives Upon completion of this NVivo introductory workshop students will know īasic functions and limitations of NVivo software How to create, backup and copy an NVivo project How to create text based sources within NVivo How to import text based sources into NVivo How to use NCapture for web based data collection How to code text based sources in NVivo How to conduct a basic text search in NVivo How to conduct a word frequency query in NVivo How to find self-help and further resources for NVivo beyond the training courses 30 What to expect in NVivo Advanced training. 25 Merge one or more nodes into an existing node. 23 Node hierarchies that work and those that don’t. 20 Code Selection: This is the most used process of coding. What is the difference between a node and a code?. © Flinders University – Centre for Educational ICT 13 Create a PDF of a web page using NCapture. 7 Chapter 2 Working with research materials. 7 Closing a project and Closing the software.
