You will need to have a copy of the software to build your own project, using these tutorials. If you are working with the earlier version of the software, go to the tutorials for NVivo 7. If you or your institution has no access to a license for NVivo 8, you can still find how it feels to work in the software by using the free (time-limited) demonstration version available from the QSR website. For those who wish to compare NVivo 7 and NVivo 8, the two groups of tutorials are identical, so you can skim to see whats new.ĭata for your projectThe exercises for each Tutorial assume that you have data records available to you. NVivo 8 ships with a copy of a project called Volunteering, which I created for the softwares online documentation. You can work with this sample project, if you wish. The files include interviews and focus groups as well as memos about the project, and you can use them to start your own project. You might conduct an interview of your own to explore attitudes to volunteer work amongst your family or friends. Now use the data to answer questions of your own. The volunteering data will be used in illustrations during these tutorials. For these tutorials you need only a first research question and a few documents five hour-long interviews or field note reports would be fine.Īlternatively, you might make a very small exploratory project with your own data. You can import existing data from any Word files. Or, if you wish to invent a small project for these exercises, go to Handling Qualitative Data, Chapter 2 for discussions of some of the many ways of making qualitative data, with references to other texts for detailed advice. In Chapter 3 is advice on making data records that will be rich and useful for your project.
