Instructor Notes
This lesson can be combined with Taguette
for a full-day workshop. We recommend the following structure: 1. Teach
Taguette lesson as written through the Deductive
Coding section. 2. Demonstrate how to export
Taguette project. 3. Begin at Starting
QualCoder and import the Taguette project to QualCoder
(Project - Import - Taguette Import) instead of creating a
new project. 3. Continue the QualCoder lesson, abbreviating or skipping
sections in Best
Practices for Qualitative Coding that replicate the Taguette lesson
and don’t reference the software.
Qualitative Data and QualCoder
Instructor Note
QDR or your local internet network may be overwhelmed if larger
groups download the full project simultaneously. For this workshop, you
may choose to have learners instead exclude the NVPX (NVivo) file, which
will reduce the download size by around 95%. To do this: 1. Check the
box at the top-left of the file list (below the project description). 2.
Click select all 42 files in this data project. 3. Scroll
to the bottom of the list, navigate to the last page, and uncheck the
NVPX file 4. Click Download
Alternatively, learners can select only the files that will be used in the workshop. This is the most efficient but least like common data reuse patterns, where researchers won’t necessarily know which raw datafiles have the information of interest to them.
List of files for workshop:

- Mannheimer_BSR01_Transcript.pdf
- Mannheimer_BSR02_Transcript.pdf

Exercise notes
The next challenge is flexible and can be done as a class or as a think-pair-share, where individuals spend 1-2 minutes brainstorming alone, then share with a partner and discuss, then with the class.
