Resources

I wanted to share a few resources that came up in class today.

Sophie- "Sophie Author allows users to create complex networked multimedia documents without specialized training." This is a tool created for researchers at USC and seems to have some potential for qualitative research. Thanks, Aaron for sharing!

Worldcat- This is the citation database that Zotero uses to locate articles. It has been helpful to me when OSU doesn't have the citation I need.

International Journal of Learning and Media- This is the new journal from MIT Press I mentioned today that has a section just for new media article formats (those that include multimedia, social media, etc.).

TAMS Analyzer- This is a software I came across that seems to work like Weft QDA, but it is made for macs! It's a very basic CAQDAS program and it's free. I haven't investigated this too much, but I thought I'd share.

You might want to take a look at Dedoose. It's a very new web-based tool for qualitative research and analysis and I think right up your alley. It does a spectacular job integrating quantitative data for mixed methods analysis as well. Check out the video's and give it a try for free over at Qualitative
