Assignment B2

Due: March 5.

Coding 1.

The article entitled  Using Qualitative Analysis Software To Facilitate Qualitative Data Analysis by Vicente Talanquer (Click on the title to download the article.)

. 

There is a second article  entitled Beyond Constant Comparison Qualitative Data Analysis: Using NVivo by Leech and Onwuegbuzie.

Both  files are in PDF format. Save them on your computer in the original format.  Then import them into NVIVO.

Start with the Talanquer piece.  Read the abstract, but stop there and before you read the rest of the document create a memo. List the questions you want this article to answer.

Read the document. When you find something important or interesting create a node and try to name the node by giving it a one or two word summary. If you have comments or questions about some words, phrases, sentences or passages, use New Annotation to create an internal annotation.

Your text must have at least ten nodes and three internal annotations.

Having coded the text, return to your memo and write a summary of the article and see which of your original questions were answered.

Read the second piece by Leech and Onwuegbuzie.  Repeat what you did with the first article. Make sure you understand the seven analyses. If you don't get a clear picture from the article use Google search and try to figure out what these are. If you find a web site that gives you a good explanation, save it with nCapture and link that document to the part of the L&O article that discusses that analysis. If you get all of them, still pick two and find the explanations on the web and link them.  You neeed at least two links.
