Part 1 introduces the topics in both parts of this video, and continues demonstrating what CASES look like, situations in which CASES are useful and two ways of creating them.

Part 2 continues with a review of the component-specific actions relevant to CASES.

For more detail about deciding whether to associate ATTRIBUTE-VALUES  to CASES or SOURCES see this blogpost: Harnessing NVivo Classifications- it’s all about units

NVivo Attribute-values

​

This video introduces ATTRIBUTE-VALUES and reviews component-specific actions related to ATTRIBUTE-VALUES

For more detail about deciding whether to associate ATTRIBUTE-VALUES  to CASES or SOURCES see this blogpost: Harnessing NVivo Classifications- it’s all about units

This video introduces REFERENCES and reviews component-specific actions relating to REFERENCES.

NVivo Nodes (Codes) 

​

This video introduces NODES, focusing on the NODES Folder, Sentiment NODES and Relationship NODES.

​

Part 1 introduces the topics in both parts of the video, and continues demonstrating what these NODES look like and some of the ways they can be created.

Part 2 continues with a review of the component-specific actions relevant to NODES.

Note that version 12 of NVivo also uses the term Code​

NVivo Coded-References 

​

This video introduces CODED-REFERENCES and reviews component-specific actions relevant to them.

​

This video introduces QUERY-RESULTS, showing what they look like, where they are stored and some of the actions that can be taken on them.

NVivo Sets and Search folders 

​

This video introduces SETS & SEARCH-FOLDERS and reviews component-specific actions relevant to them.

NVivo Annotations

​

This video introduces ANNOTATIONS, discussing their status as COMPONENTS, showing what they look like and taking actions on them. It also includes an example of constructing a tool.

NVivo Memos  

​

This video introduces MEMOS, showing what they look like and some of the actions that can be taken on them.

NVivo Maps

​

This video introduces MAPS, showing the three types of MAP - Mind MAPS, Project MAPS, and Concept MAPS - and some of the ways of working with them.

NVivo Charts 

​

This video introduces CHARTS and shows a selection of examples of visualising data with CHARTS.

The NVivo Project as a Whole

​

These videos discuss the aspects of NVivo that refers to the project as a whole and that apply to every component.

PART 1 - The strategies levels of the Analytic Planning Worksheet

​

This video demonstrates demonstrates the layout and workings of the Analytic Planning Worksheet, focusing on the strategies levels in the top sections of the Worksheet.

​

First please download and read the overview of the DMO project which is used in the following resources.

You can also download here a MS Word template of the Analytic Planning Worksheet which can be used as is, or adapted for your needs.

PART 2 - The tactics levels of the Analytic Planning Worksheet

​

This video focuses on the bottom sections of the Worksheet which facilitate the translation of analytic tasks into software tactics, as described in Chapter 6. 

​

Please download here the completed Analytic Planning Worksheet / NVivo for Phase 3 of the 'DMO project', which is illustrated in the following video.

Introduction

​

Please watch this video first, so you know what to expect from the Case Illustration videos

NVivo Ch 8 - Case illustration of a straightforward project: A literature review

​

The five demonstration videos bring to life the whole project stage by stage. 

We assume that you have watched the Component Orientation videos and read the description of the project in Chapter 8 because the demonstrations do not repeat this information.

NVivo Ch 9 - Case illustration of a sophisticated project: A program evaluation

​

The nine demonstration videos bring to life the whole project stage by stage. We assume that you have watched the Component Orientation videos and read the description of the project in Chapter 9 because the demonstrations do not repeat this information. 

The two translation videos demonstrate in detail the translation process for two of the analytic tasks listed in Chapter 9, and include a dialogue with the case contributor, Dr. Kristi Jackson, about the pros and cons of how the project was conducted in NVivo. 

The associated Analytic Planning Worksheets are downloadable below as PDFs. Because there are always different ways to fulfill an analytic task, the two translation videos also demonstrate contrasting ways to translate the same analytic task, and we discuss the pros and cons of each way. 

These videos and accompanying PDFs will be available soon.

Please contact us here if you would like to be informed when these videos are added.
