Introduction to Nvivo
AusAID
NVivo 8 is an efficient, flexible and powerful tool for managing qualitative data of all sorts (focus groups, field notes, interviews, case studies, content analyses, literature searches). This course provides a step-by-step introduction to using NVivo for those with little or no experience. Demonstration data will be used during the course. At the end of the 6-hour session, participants should have sufficient expertise to set up their own NVivo 8 project and begin using the main tools and functions to manage, organise, search and code qualitative data.
It is very important for participants arrive on time and to attend each session in order as the material covered is presented sequentially and builds upon the basics presented at the beginning of the day.

Nvivo Collaborative Support Group
The Nvivo Collaborative Support Group is for graduate researchers and staff at the University of Melbourne who use Nvivo.
It is free to join, and is based in an online community, with regular face-to-face meetings in Nvivo-supporting computer labs on campus.
The point of the group is to establish a lively network of qualitative researchers (or at least, researchers doing qualitative research!) to support each other in the use of this amazing, yet sometimes complicated software. This group is for novices and experts alike - the idea being that the more people who join, the more people there are to learn from and with - to ask questions, share tips and tricks and collaborate with. As a result, the group hopes to improve not only everyone's use of Nvivo, but their skills and abilities in qualitative research.
