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.

Welcome Winter 2010 Students!

Welcome to Digital Tools for Qualitative Research! I look forward to having you in this class and having a chance to share some helpful tools as well as learning from you in the process. Please feel free to browse this site before class begins as it has evolved over the four quarters that I have been teaching it. If you click the label "EPL692" on the right hand side of the screen, you will find the course information, hardware/software you will need, and all five sessions for this course. We will also be going over this information on the first day of class. Please let me know if you already have experience in any of these areas and we can work out an alternative assignment in something more pertinent to your work. We are all tight on time and my ultimate goal is for this class to be useful to you. Here's to a great quarter!

We will take this survey on the first day of class:
