Onderwerp: Team ethnography
>>I am currently exploring the various CAQDAS in order to support a
>>qualitative study of the roles and responsiblities at the health and
>>social care interface. The study will be based on 8 case studies. A
>>case comprises a client and their surrounding web of carers - informal -
>>formal.- The research is being carried out in two different academic
>>institutions. I am currently looking into software in order to
>>support the project.
>>
>>My own experience has been with FolioViews (in the context of two
>>ethnographic studies) - and I have been very impressed with both the
>>ease of coding and the speed of its searches. However I have only
>>ever used this program on single researcher projects - where pen and
>>paper diagrams sufficed in the analysis stage - and so it's lack of
>>'theory-building' capabilities was never an issue. Given that this new
>>project would involve a number of researchers involved in the analysis
>>I thought it would be useful to look at packages where 'current
>>thinking' could be represented in visual form. I've spent some time
>>looking at the demos - Altasti, HyperResearcher, Ethnograph, Decision
>>Explorer - but I have to say that past experience has made me deeply
>>suspicious of demos.
>>
>>I just wondered if you could advise me as to whether any of these
>>alternatives would be most able to support the kind of work we have
>>in mind and be a better option than FolioViews.
>>
>>One option I did consider was to look at Decision Explorer to support
>>the analysis and thinking but use FolioViews for search and
>>retreival. Both packages seem to do both well - but to use two rather
than one
>>seems a bit cumbersome somehow.
>>
>>I'm interested to note how little FolioViews figures in discussion
>>of softward packages. ( Which is one of the reasons why I'm thinking
>about alternatives.) Is there any reason for this? To me it has
>>much to commend it - not least it user-friendliness!
>>
>>As you can see I am in a quandry. I would greatly appreciate any
>advice.
