The CAQDAS Networking Project is supported by the ESRC (UK) in the
provision of platforms for debate, online resources, information and
training concerning computer assistance in the analysis of qualitative data.
Seminars are held periodically which allow software developers to preview
latest versions and
researchers to discuss their methodological needs.
There is also a continuous programme of training workshops in a range of
software packages
(see also below).
NEXT SEMINAR 6 September 2001:
(free to all comers) to be held by the CAQDAS Networking
Project will take place at University of Surrey, Guildford UK, when we are
glad to announce that Thomas Muhr developer of ATLAS.ti: will present the
following session focused around the forthcoming version of Atlas.ti Version
5. (free but places must be booked)
START TIME 11.00 FOR 11.30 START (coffee will be served before start)
FINISH TIME 3.30.
"ATLAS.ti 5.0 - a preview of essentials"
Some of the included features are summarised below:
*Editing Primary Documents. ATLAS.ti's long term dedication to strong team
support and large projects led us to provide a sophisticated technique which
allows the "live" editing of SHARED and distributed documents for team
requirements. All dependent projects ("HUs") referring to a primary document
are automatically synchronized after
modifications of the latter. This solution differs from editing
"live" but on documents available to only one project.
*Working with "really rich" documents: text with formulas and tables, code
Powerpoint slides and Excel workspaces, hyperlink chat rooms and comment web
sites. In addition, embedded hot web links in documents let you organize
"bookmarks" as professionally as you can manage any "quotation" in a HU.
Click on a super code and retrieve 2 video clips, 3 text passages, 8
PowerPoint transparencies and an Excel table. With a click into this table
you can "in-place"-edit and recalculate it on the fly.
*What XML can do for you.
*Super Families. Families can now be combined using the same concept and
similar tool as for super codes.
*ATLAS.ti as a content analysis tool: the WordCruncher revisited.
*Searching through everything with the Object Crawler.
*SPSS export improved.
*New looks with a familiar touch: improved GUI but not too fancy. Extralists
with type-ahead search, relocatable coolbars, unified margin for text and
images.
*Visualization: Semantic node coloring.
*Smart Upgrade ...etc
START TIME 11.00 FOR 11.30 START (coffee will be served before start)
FINISH TIME 3.30.

SPECIAL EVENTS
At seminar or training level, events can be organised and tailored to meet
team or project-specific needs. These can be held either at Surrey, or at
your site.
HALF DAY INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED SOFTWARE CLINICS (usually PROJECT
SPECIFIC)
Usually 'One to one' advice sessions at which the uptake and efficiency of
the session is improved because the researcher has a clear idea of
requirements and questions that need answering.
