    I did a lot of messing about…

    Manually
    Other
    software

    NVivo8

    Microsoft Word

    • Who are they? Why are they here?
    • What will you do?
    • Analysing some data

    • Preparing the data


    • Making a coding document

    • Creating something – a ‘how to’ guide?

    …so analysis is easier?

    It’s all in the prep!
    • Transcribe in Word = no import/export issues
    • !!!New paragraph for every change in speaker:

    Data sorted

    The start of your coding document


    10
    Coding
    • Add columns for codes

    Also useful to add a column


    to number the data so
    it’s easier to find 11
    Coding

    Highlight
    column,
    click on
    numbering

    some things
    might work
    better as
    comments
    Numbers (track
    useful for changes)
    linking
    excerpts

    Hints & Tips from Twitter

    @amyfielden83: Very obvious one, but using the highlight function in various
    colours to distinguish codes!
    @amyfielden83: Comment function is great for initial coding, and note taking on
    transcripts!
    13
    Table of codes (authorities)

    • Alphabetical listing
    • Shortcut (alt+shift+I)
    • Hide codes (ctrl+shift+8)

    • Insert table of authorities


    Add categories
    e.g. Level 1, Level 2,
    interpretative
    repertoires, canonical
    narratives

    14
    Other referencing functions

    15
    Keeping the data whole
    • Narrative and discursive approaches

    Could use table


    Highlighting, font,
    of contents for
    bold, italics etc
    sequential list

    Track changes
