Hi, and thanks for participating in our NVivo course.

Since we only have a limited space of time to enjoy each other's company, it is important that you have all installed NVivo AND completed the first three sets of exercises beforehand (see below).

Installation:

Being affiliated with Copenhagen University gives you free access to NVivo. You can find a link, which gives you access to the program and a license key at KUnet (https://kunet.ku.dk/en).
Go to Software Library, which is to be found at the bottom of that page. Here you will be offered a link to both PC and MAC software, as well as a license key to the specific software. Please do not choose the server version!

In case of any difficulties in this proces, please contact Copenhagen University’s Service desk.

Exercises:

When you have installed NVIVO go on to the exercises 0, 1, and 2, located under the tab Modules.
Please make sure to use the English exercises at the bottom (even if you're a Danish speaker), as the course material is different.

In addition, under the Files Files tab, you will find all documents used in connection with the exercises.

For the initial exercises, you will need to use the ten Word documents with the inauguration speeches from Presidents of the United States.

Please note: There is both an exercise module for PC and one for Mac. NVivo works best with PC, and there are also more functionalities in the PC version, than in the Mac version, but all the features we are focusing on in this course work in both versions.

The exercises should be relatively straightforward, but it is nonetheless important to review them in advance in order to utilise our time together more effectively.

QSR also has a help page for NVIVO 12, as found here for PC:

And here for Mac:

In addition, NVIVO also has a number of video tutorials:

Yours Sincerely
