Resources from ICQI

I recently attended ICQI and attended a session conducted by Judith Davidson and Silvana diGregorio (who will have a chapter in the newest edition of The Handbook of Qualitative Research). They suggested many of the tools we already use in class as well as some new ones! Here are the ones that I would like to look into:

a.nnotate- A tool to annotate and share documents or images online
Everyday Lives- A tool to document the everyday lives of your participants (audio, video, images)... the best part? There's an iPhone App!
Word Tree- Sort of like a word cloud, but this tool allows you to select a word or phrase and then creates a tree of how that word or phrase is used.
Phrase Net- Diagrams the relationships between different words used in a text

Also, for the record, I learned that you can now annotate youtube videos! Flickr also has great annotation.

Studiocode

I recently learned about another video coding software called Studiocode. The one I linked to is specifically for the field of Education. I hear its pricey, but I can't find the price anywhere on the website (go figure). Anyway, it might be worth at least a glance!
