0:05 okay well hello everyone and thank you
0:08 for joining this session on an intro to
0:10 qualitative data analysis using taget
0:13 and call coder for anyone who doesn't
0:15 know my name is Kathleen Flynn and I'm
0:17 one of the science Librarians here at U
0:19 Albany and if you're wondering I have
0:21 altered the settings to disable
0:23 participant video and unmuting right now
0:24 just because I'm recording and that
0:26 makes it a little easier I've also
0:29 enabled close captioning so feel free to
0:30 hit the CC button at the bottom of your
0:32 Zoom screen if you'd like to see the live
0:33 live
0:36 transcript so the plan for today is I'll
0:38 show you two free qualitative data
0:40 analysis tools I'll start by demoing
0:45 taget and then we'll move on to qual
0:50 coder so tet and qual coder are free
0:52 qualitative data analysis tools and I
0:53 won't go into too much detail about
0:55 qualitative data analysis but I'll just
0:57 say a few things in case you're
0:58 wondering what kind of data analysis you
1:02 can do with these tools so to start with
1:04 qualitative data would be data that are
1:08 usually non-numerical so these data
1:11 aren't things that you would usually
1:14 count or measure and they tend to be
1:17 things like text or audio video probably
1:19 generated from interviews or surveys
1:22 focus groups Etc and qualitative coding
1:24 is where you'll analyze that data by
1:28 assigning codes or labels to parts of it
1:30 for instance text and those codes may
1:32 represent some important Concepts and
1:34 then you can later analyze those to
1:37 identify some categories or some themes
1:39 and depending on your research question
1:41 you may have codes already when you
1:44 begin coding or you may create them during
1:45 during
1:48 coding and as for software some common
1:51 features of qda software uh include
1:54 coding annotation transcription
1:57 Etc and here are some options of qda
1:59 software you've probably heard of some
2:00 of these
2:02 tools on the left here you have Atlas TI
2:05 and Max qda and Vivo and those aren't
2:08 free but they tend to be pretty robust
2:10 you could also do some coding and
2:13 Analysis with Excel or word and I'll
2:16 note that these first three tools here
2:18 they aren't currently available on any
2:20 public university computers such as
2:23 those in the libraries that I know of
2:24 some departmental computers may have
2:27 licenses to them I'm not sure you'd have
2:29 to investigate that but then there are
2:31 some free tools so we'll look at T and
2:34 qu coder you also have R coder that's an
2:38 r package package in R the statistical
2:40 programming language and then of course
2:42 you could have the free versions of um
2:45 the equivalent of The Office Products
2:48 you know Google office suite or Libra
2:50 office so let's get
2:53 started by looking at
2:56 tette so I'll paste the link in chat if you
2:58 you
3:02 want to follow along this is recorded so
3:05 don't worry about following along with
3:08 everything so tette is a free and open
3:10 source qualitative research tool I'm
3:12 starting with this tool because it's
3:14 very simple you'll see it's very user
3:16 friendly and it's used to do just some
3:19 basic coding of text and that's the key
3:22 limitation here with tette is
3:26 that as we see here you can only code
3:28 text here so you can import these file
3:30 types basically text files here PDFs
3:35 word docs plain text files HTML ebook uh
3:38 formats here and what you'll do you'll
3:41 import some text documents and then you
3:43 can create codes and tag that text with
3:45 those codes and then you can export your
3:48 codebook and the other files so teet is
3:51 a very robust but it's it's quicker and
3:53 less clunky than using word or Excel for
3:59 coding as we see on the homepage here it
4:03 could be used in a browser by going here
4:07 to t.org or you could download it and um
4:10 install and you can run it locally on
4:12 your computer you could also run it on
4:15 your own server um if you do it on your
4:17 own computer it might be a little more
4:19 secure but using it on a local machine
4:21 will make it slightly more difficult to
4:23 collaborate with others and we'll see
4:25 that so we're going to use it on their
4:27 server so to do that you'll have to
4:28 create a free and again you don't have
4:30 to follow along don't worry too much
4:33 about that but I'll click try out Ted on
4:36 our own server so here you would
4:38 register for a free account if you don't
4:51 in and then from here when you have
4:53 documents you don't have to worry about the
4:54 the
4:57 language uh of the text in your document
5:00 but if you'd like to change the language
5:02 the interface here you could go up to
5:04 account and
5:07 settings and then you have language here
5:08 they have some options and they're
5:11 adding more as um they get help with
5:13 adding them because this is a free and
5:16 open source uh tool so if you'd like to
5:19 help them out feel free to contact
5:21 them so then on the homepage here you
5:24 have a few options you can import a
5:26 project and this is what you might do if
5:28 you've installed tat locally on your
5:30 computer you may
5:33 uh import
5:36 um on another computer maybe if you've
5:37 shared it with someone you're trying to
5:39 collaborate you could send them the file
5:42 and they can import it on um their own
5:44 computer but it's easier to do it if
5:45 you're in the server which we'll see
5:48 later you can also create a new project
5:49 which we'll do in a second and then you
5:52 can see existing projects are
5:55 here so we'll create a new
5:58 project and I'll follow this trend here
6:05 I I get tutorial three and you can give
6:15 uh this is a test project for a tutorial
6:17 and I'll hit
6:20 create and from here we have to add
6:24 documents so there's a button here add a
6:27 document now we saw earlier um the file
6:29 types that are allowed basically text
6:33 files so I have one it's Thomas Payne's
6:35 common sense I found the full text it's
6:37 in the public domain I found it on the
6:39 prject Gutenberg site so it's just a
6:41 plain text
6:44 file so I have it
6:48 here and then I could give it a
6:50 name I could call it common sense I
7:00 want
7:06 import so now we see our document here
7:10 in the middle and I will say sometimes
7:11 during the conversion process the
7:14 formatting can get a little changed so
7:16 this is just a test so it this text
7:18 doesn't matter so it's fine but be aware
7:25 of that so we see here uh our text and
7:27 we can start to code so to do that I
7:31 simply just highlight some text
7:32 and you'll notice that this little
7:34 button pops up new highlight and if I click
7:35 click
7:39 that and by default in taget it has this
7:41 interesting tag here already so you
7:43 could assign that you could create your
7:46 own for this first one we'll just assign
7:48 the interesting tag and then I'd hit
7:50 save and close and we see that it's
7:53 highlighted now in yellow now in tette I
7:55 believe I don't believe you can change
7:57 the color at the moment I think all of
7:59 your tags are going to be yellow Maybe
8:01 in a future update they'll change that
8:04 qu coder you can but in get here it's
8:07 just yellow there's also this little
8:09 backlight button here if you check this
8:11 you'll notice that it'll gray out the
8:14 other text and it's just showing you
8:17 your highlights some people like
8:19 that and then so right now we're in the
8:21 documents tab if I go to the highlights
8:23 one next to it I see here this
8:25 interesting tag that's the only one we
8:27 have right now but now there's a one
8:30 here because we have one highlight so I
8:33 could click this the the tag and it's
8:36 showing me that highlight and it's
8:38 telling me the file that it's in the the
8:41 document and the tag assigned I could
8:43 click see all highlights but we just
8:45 have the
8:48 one so let's go back and add some more
8:54 documents and I'll
8:57 just highlight this and I'll click new
8:59 highlight and now let's create a new one
9:01 so I'll click create a tag and I have
9:04 them here so let's call this
9:07 justification and I can give it a
9:10 description here maybe something
9:19 for independence from Great
9:22 Britain and I'll select yep save and
9:24 close so now that's highlighted and you
9:25 see it's also
9:29 yellow I could add some more so you can
9:32 have more than one tag assigned to a
9:36 highlight so I'll just highlight this
9:38 section click new
9:41 highlight uh let's make a new tag so
9:44 maybe I'll call this one government I'll say
9:46 say
9:50 it's role of government and I'll assign
9:53 that and I'll maybe also put interesting
9:56 there and then I'll just add a few more
10:11 so now let's go back to Highlights the
10:14 highlights Tab and we see here now I
10:15 have a
10:17 few uh the count here is increased for
10:19 each of these now you may sometimes have
10:21 to refresh the page sometimes the
10:24 changes aren't reflected right away but
10:28 this looks fine so if we go to say that interesting
10:29 interesting
10:32 uh tag here we see this one has two
10:34 assigned to it
10:37 it
10:40 and I could click see all highlights now
10:46 highlights now if you're
10:50 coding uh without having codes generated
10:52 already you may find that a code that
10:55 you're using isn't ideal anymore you may
10:57 want to rename it so you could click
10:59 edit you could rename it you could
11:04 delete it and you can merge them so
11:06 let's say I want to merge the
11:09 justification and the interesting uh
11:12 tags here I could go to edit I could say
11:14 merge let's say I want to merge
11:17 interesting into justification so right
11:20 now they each have two tags so I'll merge
11:21 merge
11:29 refresh so now justification has for and
11:36 happened you can also make a hierarchy
11:38 in your tags for instance maybe here I
11:40 have one for government maybe I want one
11:42 for monarchies so I could create a tag
11:44 here as
11:46 well and I already have it here so what
11:49 you do I want government to be
11:52 the the higher tier there and I want
11:54 monarchy under it so I just need any
11:56 kind of punctuation in between so here I
11:59 have government. monarchy so this be
12:02 below government in the
12:05 hierarchy and then I created it I can go
12:07 back to my
12:11 document and I see here let's see King of
12:12 of
12:15 England so I can apply
12:22 highlights if I go to government Which
12:24 is higher up in that hierarchy you see
12:27 that I'm seeing the lower tag as well
12:30 I'm seeing both but if I go just to that
12:32 government. monarchy I'm just seeing that
12:33 that
12:36 one so if you're ready to start
12:38 exporting these files so you can analyze
12:40 them some more you have some options you
12:43 can export the whole document that you
12:46 were tagging here up in the right hand
12:48 corner here you see export this view I
12:56 HTML so I see that it's showing me the
12:58 highlights and it's showing me the the tags
13:00 tags
13:04 the uh other formats here will look the
13:07 same you also could uh export your
13:09 highlights so if I go to Highlights and
13:11 see all highlights again I have this
13:15 export this view button and I have um
13:17 some of those same file types but I also
13:37 second so this is what that looks like
13:39 so maybe I want to analyze this they
13:47 Excel and then I could ex uh export the
13:50 whole project so we talked about that if
13:52 I go over here to project info we talked
13:54 about that in the beginning where you
13:57 could um share your project so here you
13:59 could export it you also see here this
14:01 is how you would collaborate if you're
14:03 working in a server here like we are
14:05 right now we're working in their server
14:08 so we could manage collaborators so I
14:10 again I have to have a free taget
14:12 account so this is my username if you
14:14 know somebody else's username you could
14:16 put it here and then you could specify
14:18 what permissions you want them to have
14:21 so say if it's a student in a lab you
14:23 might want them to be able to highlight
14:25 uh and tag maybe you don't want them to
14:27 be able to delete any any files
14:30 documents or projects so you can do
14:33 that you can also export your codebook
14:36 here so that would be your your tags so
14:38 if I export this I have a few options
14:40 that we've seen but I also have this
14:43 qdc format so this is a format you could
14:46 use to import this into other um
14:48 qualitative data analysis software for
14:50 instance some something like inv Vivo so
15:00 CSV and when I look at it showing me the
15:03 tags the description and the number of
15:06 highlights but then uh just to show you
15:07 what it looks like I'm going to import one
15:10 one
15:12 I'll I have a different one saved here
15:15 I'll just go to
15:17 uh I'll just delete
15:25 project so if I go to Project info here
15:28 I can import a code book and we see here
15:30 that it only wants CSV for
15:39 CSV and then when I click review it's
15:41 showing me the tags that I had so I can
15:44 select which ones I want to import and
15:46 I'll say create
15:48 tags then I can go to Highlights to
15:50 check them out so I see that they've
15:52 been imported it also of course has this
15:54 interesting tag which is there by
15:56 default from tette but I could delete
16:05 tag so that's a quick demo of taget as
16:07 you saw it's pretty userfriendly they
16:09 have a nice guide here that you can
16:11 refer back to if you get
16:15 stuck so let's move on to qu coder
16:23 robust and I'll put a link for the qu
16:26 coder page and chat and again it could
16:28 be a little difficult to get everything
16:29 installed so don't worry about following
16:35 anything so qual coder just like tette
16:38 it's a free open source um software let
16:40 me try
16:43 to make that a little bigger so you can
16:45 see uh now to get as we saw it could be
16:47 used in a browser or you can install it
16:50 on a local machine qual coder can also
16:53 be downloaded via their GitHub page
16:54 we'll see in a second here in the
16:57 download tab and then you would just run
16:59 the executable file
17:01 so tet as we saw it's nice if you just
17:03 want to code some text but a benefit
17:05 here of qual coder is that you can code
17:08 text images video and
17:11 audio and if you want to code audio or
17:13 video though you will have to also
17:17 install VLC media player here which is also
17:18 also
17:22 free and uh qual coder also has uh the
17:26 capabilities to um transcribe audio and
17:28 video but to do that you also have to
17:31 have have um another piece of free
17:38 see so I already have qual coder downloaded
17:40 downloaded
17:43 um now one downside of of qual coder is
17:46 that you can't collaborate with another
17:49 user in real time however you can work
17:52 on the same project um and as we see
17:54 here qu coder supports this open
17:57 standard this RFI qda standard so you
17:59 could have some somebody uh share your
18:01 project and they could maybe import it
18:05 into um another qda software that
18:09 supports that could be uh proprietary as
18:13 well uh but let's go start look how you
18:15 would download and now in this download
18:17 tab I'm on a Windows machine and it's
18:20 easiest when you're on Windows um we see
18:21 here here the links if you want to
18:24 install VLC and this is what you would
18:25 also need if you want to transcribe
18:29 audio or video this ffmpeg software
18:31 um we'll take a look at that I haven't
18:33 installed this yet so we won't but you
18:35 can see what it looks like so to go to
18:37 their GitHub page you'd go
18:40 here now since I'm on Windows as I said
18:42 I would just go down to the bottom and I
18:46 just uh downloaded this executable file
18:47 now you may have to
18:50 specify uh give it permissions what I
18:52 had to do I had to once I had this
18:55 downloaded I right clicked it and went
18:58 to properties and I had to check this box
18:58 box
19:02 this unblock box and then apply and run
19:04 it again you may have that issue but
19:07 then you just run that uh that executable
19:08 executable
19:12 file now if you're not on Windows um
19:15 this GitHub page has a Wiki here and the
19:18 wiki has a lot of nice um instructions
19:20 here but under introduction you'll see
19:22 some installation uh instructions if
19:24 you're on a different operating system
19:26 because it could be a
19:29 little different
19:32 so I have qual coder opened up here I
19:35 just ran the the file there now the
19:37 first thing you'll notice is that it
19:39 looks less user
19:42 friendly when you open it up it may even
19:44 be really teeny the window you may have
19:47 to resize it I think I'll just make it
19:49 full screen here so we can see
19:51 everything uh when we open it up it
19:53 opens up on the action log so this will
19:56 show us the version we're using as well
19:58 as our settings and what we've done with
20:00 our our current project and as for
20:02 settings if you'd like to change them
20:06 you can go up to project and you go to
20:08 settings so I have a few options here I
20:11 can change that interface language here
20:13 I can change the font and the font size
20:15 here you can select how often you wanted
20:18 to back up your project uh which you may
20:22 want it to do often as we'll see if
20:24 you're doing any transcribing you can
20:26 set uh settings here for time format or
20:30 speaker format this code text Chunk size
20:31 setting here is if you have a really
20:35 large file you may want to specify um
20:36 the number of
20:38 characters that you'll have because uh
20:41 really big files can get make it a
20:43 little slow and laggy so you may want to
20:44 break it
20:47 up if you're into dark mode you can
20:49 change the style here or a different
20:52 background color once you make this
20:54 change though you'll have to restart for
20:55 it to
20:57 apply and then here's where you could do
20:59 some collab collaboration so remember
21:01 that qual coder doesn't allow real time
21:03 collaboration like other tools like
21:05 tette but you can create a profile here
21:07 for yourself so I have one it's already
21:09 it's telling me I'm the current coder
21:12 you could uh add yourself here and hit
21:15 apply so then if you're working on qual
21:17 Corder let's say it's downloaded on one
21:20 shared computer in a lab somebody else
21:23 could log in change go to their profile
21:25 do their coding saved under their
21:26 profile so you could do that
21:29 alternatively you could zip the folder
21:31 for your project which we'll see in a
21:32 second and you could share it with
21:34 collaborators so that then they could
21:40 machine so we'll go to uh starting a new
21:43 project so to do that you go to project
21:45 and create new
21:48 project so what it's doing here it's
21:51 going to create a folder so I already
21:54 have a couple here so let's call
21:57 this qu coder demo and it's just going
22:00 to save to my my desktop
22:04 here so let me find
22:07 it I hope you can see this so what it
22:10 did is it created a folder here on my
22:12 desktop because that's where I saved it
22:15 so this has my um file here for the
22:18 project and these folders they're empty
22:21 right now but as I populate this folder
22:25 in qu coder as I create files or import
22:27 them copies of them will go in this
22:30 folder so this is what you might zip and
22:32 send to somebody if you want to
22:37 collaborate and also if you uh open it
22:39 up and you want to open a project that's
22:46 to so for your project here up in the
22:48 project tab you could create a little
22:51 memo for your project some notes so
22:53 maybe you want to add some details about
22:56 your project um there a version maybe
22:58 who's working on it details like that so
23:00 you could do a memo for the whole
23:02 project and then at this point we can
23:04 start to add some files and some cases
23:06 and some attributes so to load some
23:10 files we go up here to the manage
23:12 menu and we have some options we'll
23:14 start with manage
23:17 files and it's blank we have nothing
23:19 here one thing we can do we could just
23:22 create a file right here so there's a
23:25 little uh pencil icon here I can create
23:39 text here is some example
23:42 text and then once I have this created
23:43 if I want to view it I could either
23:45 double click
23:48 it or there's a little eye icon here
23:55 it but I can also uh import files so
23:57 there's a button here next to that I icon
23:58 icon
24:01 or import file into the project folder
24:02 and so that folder that we just looked
24:04 at so what I'll be doing I'll just make
24:07 be making a copy putting a copy into
24:10 that folder so I have some folder uh
24:13 files here on my desktop I have a few I
24:15 have an image
24:19 file I have a an audio file now to
24:21 select multiple I'm on Windows um a
24:23 Windows PC so I'm hitting control I
24:25 think it'd be command on a Mac and then
24:28 I have these four transcript these are
24:31 ition interviews with students so I'll
24:32 select all of
24:36 them and I'll open them
24:39 up so from here again these are just
24:41 random files for this demo if I wanted
24:44 to change the name I could rightclick I
24:47 can do some things including renaming uh
24:49 and remember any changes you make here
24:51 these are just copies in that project
24:58 Originals uh we have this this memo
25:00 column here so these would be some notes
25:02 for yourself so maybe for this example
25:05 text file we made maybe that was a a
25:08 survey response from a student something
25:12 like that so I could double click here
25:16 um I could say this is a survey
25:20 response we have this um image here I
25:23 just double clicked that and this is a classroom
25:25 classroom
25:27 picture so maybe I want to add a memo here
25:29 here it's
25:41 Blackboard so now we can also have
25:43 attributes and these are just uh
25:45 variables that will describe they can
25:47 describe files cases which you'll see in
25:50 a second they can be numeric or
25:53 character um Fields so I can add some
25:56 attributes to these files here there's a
25:59 little plus icon here add
26:01 attribute we see here character and
26:03 numeric so maybe I want to know the
26:09 files so we see it added that column and
26:12 then just like how uh we did with memo
26:14 um I could add double click here to add
26:16 a source so maybe these I said these
26:18 transcripts were fictional student
26:21 interviews or surveys or whatever so I
26:28 student and then these columns here you
26:30 could change the sort you could filter a
26:34 little bit so if I I right click here I
26:36 could change the sort here maybe I just
26:39 want to look at uh files where the
26:41 source was a student so I could click
26:44 show this value and that limits it to
26:46 get back to all the files I could right
26:53 rows so I
26:56 imported those files but you may have
26:58 let's say you have a a survey you might
27:03 have a file with um cases and attributes
27:05 so maybe it's a survey or an interview
27:07 data so I have this
27:10 example spreadsheet here it's really
27:13 teeny this is fictional so these are
27:17 four those four student interviews and
27:20 it was Anonymous so they have an ID here
27:22 just one through four and I had their
27:24 major their class year so freshman
27:27 sophomore Etc and so I have some
27:29 attributes here and then I have cases so
27:31 each participant here is a Case Case
27:33 might be something else it could be an
27:35 event anything you're anything you may
27:39 want to apply files or or attributes to
27:44 so I can import this this file into qual
27:47 coder so to do
27:50 that I would go up to
27:52 manage and we've already looked at
27:54 manage CA uh files here but I have import
27:56 import
28:00 survey and then I have it right
28:03 here so this is um asking me what I want
28:05 to import we see it looks like what we
28:07 just saw and it's made some assumptions
28:08 here about
28:11 the the fields here it thinks the ID one
28:13 is numeric and the others are character
28:16 that's okay and it's asking me press
28:22 import now we don't see anything so if I
28:24 want to look at those attributes I can
28:29 go up to manage and manage
28:31 attributes so here we see remember when
28:33 we were in manage files we added that
28:35 one attribute source and it's assigned
28:37 to file so we see that here and then we
28:38 see these other two that we just
28:41 imported and they're assigned to case
28:42 because those cases were those
28:46 participants there so from here I could
28:50 delete some I could add another so maybe
28:54 I want one for Library
28:56 services and it's
28:59 character and I'll assign it to those
29:01 cases so now we have another here and I
29:05 could expand this see more we also have
29:08 another memo column here so if I want
29:10 some notes so let's see like class year
29:12 here that that field name's a little
29:22 here that these are freshman sophomore junior
29:27 senior
29:30 so we also imported those cases so let's
29:33 look at those so if we go back to manage
29:36 so we've looked at files and attributes
29:38 so here we have manage
29:41 cases and we see this looks like that uh
29:44 spreadsheet that we had um so we see
29:46 this new attribute we added to it
29:48 there's another memo column here but we
29:50 also see there's a
29:53 files column here so I can assign files
29:56 to a case in this case the cases are um
29:58 students participants and I have those
30:01 four transcript files um one for each of
30:07 these students so I could uh manually
30:11 add more cases here or import more but
30:15 uh let's assign some files so I can just
30:18 click here and it's showing me uh files
30:20 here that I've imported so again these
30:24 transcripts correspond to a case so I
30:27 could just uh click one and add selected
30:50 here so we did that here in the manage
30:53 cases uh window you could also do that
30:56 um in the manage files window so if I go
30:58 back to manage
31:01 files we see there is this case column
31:03 and it looks like now it's U remember
31:06 these were our cases the IDS looks like
31:09 it's they're assigned but if I wanted to
31:12 assign from here I could rightclick here
31:14 and assign case to file so you could do
31:18 the same thing in multiple windows
31:22 here uh in the manage uh menu here you
31:24 may have also seen manage journals you
31:27 can have journals in qual coder so you
31:29 may want to keep track of your
31:31 activities different coders could have
31:34 different journals so I can create one
31:41 icon I'll call it November
31:45 2023 um this is a
31:49 journal for the qual coder
31:51 tutorial and then you see little search
31:54 box here so if I want to
31:58 search for a term I could enter term and
32:01 then these little uh arrows here I can
32:02 search within here so you see it's
32:05 matching if I click this um check this
32:06 box here I can search within all
32:08 journals I just have the one but it
32:11 would go through um the other journals
32:13 and you can also export these journals
32:21 that uh so now one of the benefits of
32:23 qual coder um is the ability to work
32:26 with audio or video files so to use
32:28 these features as we as we saw you need
32:30 to have that free software VLC installed
32:33 and if you want to do transcription
32:35 you'll have to have that ffmpeg
32:38 installed as well um and the links to
32:41 those as we saw in in the qual coder web
32:44 page if you go to their um GitHub you
32:47 can see the links there so I have a a
32:51 brief audio file
32:54 here and let's
32:57 see Gentlemen please fasten your seat
33:00 belts we are expecting some
33:03 turbulence so this file you notice when
33:05 I imported it it
33:08 created automatically this little blank
33:10 text file associated with it so this is
33:12 for that that
33:15 transcript so I could just populate I
33:19 could manually do it here or in the
33:22 audio file here I could added here so if
33:24 you want uh to use they have some tools
33:28 here with this little gear icon they uh
33:31 you could use some online speech text
33:33 Services here that they are connected to
33:36 but again you need that FF EG installed
33:38 which I don't have installed but you
33:40 could try these and then you you
33:43 probably have to clean it up a bit or
33:45 you could do it manually here um and
33:48 they have some shortcuts here so um like control
33:50 control
33:54 n you could add speaker names and then
33:57 to add it it's control
34:00 one you have control t
34:02 t
34:05 for uh Tim stamp so you have some
34:15 also we'll just add some text here so we have
34:16 have
34:19 something uh so you could do that
34:21 yourself so that's transcription you can
34:23 play around with that on your own if you're
34:24 you're
34:27 interested uh but let's start coding
34:30 so uh remember with taget all the codes
34:33 be yellow here in qual coder there'll be
34:35 uh different colors and you can change
34:37 the colors and the color scheme but you
34:39 could also uh pick one that's color
34:42 blind safe so if you go up
34:46 to the coding menu up here and you'll
34:48 see color
34:51 scheme so we don't see any codes here
34:53 yet but we see here the perspective it's
34:55 normal vision and but down here at the
34:57 bottom you can change perspective Ive so
35:00 you'll Watch What Happens here we have
35:04 red weak red blind and so on so that's
35:07 an option uh let's start coding though
35:08 we'll start with uh those text
35:11 interviews those transcripts so I'd go
35:13 up to coding at the top here this menu
35:15 and we see our options here we have text
35:19 images audio video and PDF um now the
35:23 PDF that's somewhat new uh the latest
35:26 version made that a little bit better
35:28 it's little experimental um still so we
35:31 won't look at coding PDFs today but
35:33 we'll start with
35:38 text here we have our text files um and
35:40 if we click one we can see the text here
35:43 on the right in the bottom this is where
35:45 our codes would be so we don't have any
35:46 here by default like tet had that
35:50 interesting tag by default so to create
35:53 some we would right click in this box
35:55 and I have add a new code so let's go to
35:57 that first transcript
36:01 so we we see here it's it's small uh so
36:04 I see here they're talking about spaces
36:06 here so I right click in this box and
36:08 add a new
36:11 code I'll call this one
36:15 spaces and then just like in taget I can
36:18 just drag I can highlight here some of
36:21 the text and then I'll click the spaces
36:24 tag and we notice that the count here
36:26 went up there's now one and it's the Tex
36:30 is highlighted I can keep going maybe I
36:32 want this one as well and I click it now it's
36:33 it's
36:37 two and then once I have these tags if I
36:39 hover over it it's telling it's telling
36:42 me what the the assigned code is here if
36:45 I rightclick it I can unmark it I can
36:48 make a memo I could designate it as
36:50 important and when I do that you see it
36:53 makes it bold but I can
36:56 also uh hit there's a button down here a
36:58 little star button in the lower left
37:02 corner and this will toggle on and off
37:09 showing those important flagged uh tags
37:12 there so let's look at the next transcript
37:14 transcript
37:17 here so for this one I see you're
37:20 talking about services and resources
37:22 here so I'll add some more tags here so
37:24 I go back and I rightclick add a new
37:33 services and I'll have
37:40 resources and you see here there are
37:43 different colors if I wanted to change
37:46 these I could rightclick them I could
37:50 rename delete so on but also change the
37:54 color so I'll add some more here maybe
37:57 this we have a 247 chat feature and then
37:59 I'll click
38:01 services and then they talk about
38:10 resources uh I could add memos here as
38:13 we see so maybe for resources we saw
38:16 that when I right-clicked it could add a
38:19 memo here maybe I want to specify these
38:22 are Collections
38:25 and Equipment
38:29 Etc so you can have memos All Over You
38:30 could also have categories for these
38:33 codes so we saw that here when you were
38:35 right clicking here there's add a new
38:38 category so maybe I want one
38:40 one
38:44 libraries and now to add uh codes to it
38:46 either I could click it right cck uh
38:48 right click it and add codes to it or I
38:51 could drag and drop my existing ones
38:54 into it and we see it's starting to
38:57 populate and then it's within this
39:00 category I could also merge codes um
39:02 same way by dragging and dropping into
39:05 it so let's say with this articles text
39:07 here maybe I initially had a a code
39:09 called articles and then I wanted to
39:12 make it resources so let's I'll make a new
39:13 new
39:16 one called
39:18 articles and that color is not good so
39:21 I'll right click and I'll change that
39:25 color maybe I'll make this one
39:27 yellow and then if I wanted to merge I
39:30 would just drag and drop it into
39:32 resources and it's asking me here that
39:34 font's really small but it's ask me if I
39:37 want to merge articles into resources I
39:40 say yes so we didn't have anything
39:43 tagged with that so nothing changed but
39:44 you get the
39:49 idea you also have a search uh box here
39:52 so I want to search for the term Library
39:54 here I'd use these buttons and it's
39:58 matching I can make it case sensitive by
40:00 checking this box or search within all
40:02 the files by checking that
40:05 one you can also do some Auto coding in
40:08 qual coder so you see these buttons here
40:10 the little wands these are for auto
40:12 coding I won't do anything now but what
40:15 you would do you would select the the
40:17 code you want and then you'd select
40:21 which auto code option you want and
40:24 let's say I wanted to Def find the word
40:26 Library everywhere and code it with
40:29 spaces so I could do
40:32 that uh and you you see there is this
40:35 undo Auto coding button I think that's
40:38 the only magical undo button in qual
40:40 coder unfortunately your other options
40:42 we've already seen if you wanted to undo
40:45 a a Mark here you could rightclick it and
40:45 and
40:49 unmark there is this x button here if
40:50 you want to delete all codes by this
40:53 coder from this file otherwise you could
40:56 just upload the the file again and start
40:58 fresh but I don't think there's another
41:03 magical un undo button so that when we
41:04 first looked at the settings they're
41:07 backing up is important and remember
41:09 again you're not editing your original
41:12 files but just be careful and I hope in
41:14 the future maybe they add a a different undo
41:16 undo
41:19 button so we looked at that audio file
41:21 we had so here's that transcript that we
41:24 made so we could code this right here so
41:26 let's say I wanted a
41:29 a new code I'm right clicking maybe one called
41:34 Safety so I
41:38 could click that I could do it right
41:41 here but I also could uh code a little
41:44 bit within that audio file so if I go up
41:47 to coding and code audio
41:51 video so here we have that file and what
41:52 I could do is I could create little
41:55 segments within it and code those so I
41:57 I'll click Start
42:00 segment ladies and Gentlemen please
42:03 fasten your seat belts and then I could
42:06 hit n segment and then I could go to my
42:09 codes and I could rightclick one and you
42:12 see assign segment to
42:14 code and now it's coded this little
42:16 segment which I could then rightclick I
42:19 could have again memos and delete it and
42:27 Etc so I also had that one image file so
42:28 let's go back to
42:30 coding so we've looked at everything
42:32 here except uh image and we won't look
42:36 at PDFs today so code image and I'll
42:39 click it you may need to change your
42:41 window here so you can see
42:45 more resize it so we have this uh image
42:48 of a classroom so maybe I want to note
42:50 we have some technology here so we'll go
42:58 code now to add these I would click the
43:02 code that I want and then I would drag
43:05 over highlight what I want and now what
43:07 hard to see with the green but you can
43:09 see the the mark there and if I hover
43:12 over it it's telling me it's um uh
43:14 tagged with that technology tag and I'm the
43:16 the
43:19 coder and if I rightclick in that box I
43:22 could again add a memo I could unmark it
43:25 I can make it an important Mark and that
43:27 little star button that we used before
43:30 is right here so if I toggle it now we
43:32 just have the one so it's not exciting
43:35 but I could add another let's say I want a
43:42 Furniture code
43:45 here so I've got that so then if I
43:47 toggle this button we see it's showing
43:50 me the ones marked is
43:53 important I can't export this so right
43:55 here there's a button to export this
43:57 image as an
44:02 HTML and it's going to want to save
44:07 it saved it to my desktop here so here
44:09 we see the memo I had added here are
44:11 those tags and if I hover it's showing
44:20 there uh the the these export buttons
44:24 you'll see those in the other um windows
44:27 we were in as well
44:32 so now uh we looked at export for here
44:34 but you may want to make some reports
44:37 and Export those um quad coder has a lot
44:39 of nice reports so let's go to the
44:42 reports menu here so we'll look at the
44:44 first one here coding
44:47 reports so this one will um look at how
44:50 the codes were applied so we see here
44:51 these are our files these are those
44:54 cases we had here are our codes I can
44:57 select one or or more than one if I hold
45:00 control here I'm getting multiple I
45:02 could just drag with the ones that I
45:05 want I could also write click and select
45:07 that way so I'll just select all of them
45:11 and all of the codes and to just run a
45:13 basic Report with the files and the and
45:15 the codes here there's a little gear
45:18 icon here that's the search so I just
45:24 run that so it's showing me uh those
45:26 codes and the file and the coder
45:30 if I right click for view here I can do
45:33 some things including View and context
45:34 so here's the whole
45:38 image with text it would show me some
45:39 more text
45:42 around that tag if I wanted to see that
45:45 context right here in the report we see
45:47 a little box I could check here and then
45:49 I could rerun the
45:53 report so now I have that here if I just
45:55 wanted to see the those that we flagged
45:58 as important and I could rerun the
46:01 report and then the statistics
46:05 one so it's showing me uh the count by
46:08 code here it's also count within a a
46:10 file and the percentage of that file
46:12 with the
46:17 code we could also search um a report
46:19 with just some text so maybe I
46:23 want to find the the phrase quiet
46:29 um that
46:33 file I could also um filter by some of
46:35 those attributes so the button here is
46:37 this little button
46:39 here so we see our attributes here now
46:42 remember I had um classier so maybe I
46:45 just want to look at the The Freshman
46:49 files so I could say maybe equals
46:55 this and then when I run the report
46:59 again I have to select uh my
47:03 files so this was the the transcript
47:09 attribute and to remove that I can go
47:18 clear uh I can also have a little Matrix
47:20 here with these so let's say I'll
47:23 highlight all of the the files again and
47:26 all the cases highlight everything here
47:28 these are my options so let's try codes by
47:30 by
47:34 case then I'll run this so we didn't do
47:36 a lot of coding so this isn't terribly
47:39 exciting but we see here are four cases
47:41 and these were our uh codes and so we
47:44 can see it arranged this way and here it
47:48 is arranged the usual way and of course
47:50 from here we see you can export all of
47:57 formats uh so that's this basic coding
48:00 reports um let's go back up to reports
48:03 so another one we have is coding
48:06 comparison so with coders here it's just
48:08 me right now but if you had multiple
48:12 profiles you could compare them uh how
48:15 much they
48:18 agree we also have uh code frequencies
48:21 reports these are what you to expect the
48:23 the frequencies and of course you can
48:26 export this
48:29 the file and code summaries those are um
48:31 just some basic info then I wanted to
48:35 look finally at graphs here at um
48:37 charts so we have a few options here you
48:40 can have pie charts bar Sunburst tree
48:43 Maps heat
48:46 maps you can filter a number of ways
48:50 here the coder the files category
48:54 Etc um so let's look at a pie chart here
48:56 and I'll do code frequency now when I
48:57 click here it's just going to
49:01 automatically create it so I'm not I'm
49:02 not doing anything
49:06 else so here's that pie chart um if you
49:08 wanted to save this as an image up here
49:10 in the corner you can download this as
49:12 an image
49:15 file you could also check this box if
49:18 you wanted to save that HTML file when it
49:20 it
49:27 map and again we didn't do much so this
49:35 exciting so that's um there are some
49:37 other reports other things you can do
49:38 but that's a
49:42 basic uh overview of qual coder um I
49:44 hope you have enough to continue on your
49:47 own as I said qual coder has a lot of
49:50 nice uh instructions here on their Wiki
49:54 from on their GitHub um I can go into
49:55 more details with a lot of those those
49:58 reports that we were looking
50:01 at so we have a little time for some
50:03 questions but feel free to contact me
50:05 with any other questions and thank you
50:07 for joining the recording should
