CAQDAS SEMINAR
2pm: 4 November 1998: at University of Surrey, GUILDFORD
Speaker: Alan Cartwright, developer Code-A-Text
venue: University of Surrey, Guildford
>The Code-A-Text MultiMedia System is a software package which was developed
>for the study of dialogues presented as audio, video or transcription. It
>is at its most powerful when the "text" contains the original audio
>recording and a transcription enabling the investigator to simultaneously
>"hear" and "read" their data and view their codes. Code-A-Text was
>designed to provide flexibility allowing the way the "text" is presented
>for coding and analysis to evolve during the course of a project. It is
>possible to start a project with a series of audio "texts" (recorded
>directly onto to your portable computer), make an initial coding of these,
>and then transcribe (within Code-A-Text) those sections which are required
>for further study. Changes in the structure of the segments can be made at
>any time without data loss. The openness of the "text" (which can also be
>annotated) and three different coding methods (categorical, content and
>numerical) means that the programme can be used for methodologies such as
>Conversation Analysis, Narrative Analysis and Content Analysis done by
>inspection or computer generated procedures. These methodologies can
>complement each other. For instance within Code-A-Text you might use a
>graph to identify sections of "text" in which the number of words spoken
>per second changes rapidly then use Conversation or Narrative analyses to
>study the text in detail.
>
>This seminar will introduce these features starting with digital sound
>recording and concluding with the ways in which results can be output. In
>between we shall consider, all be it superficially, transcription, text
>segmentation, manual and computer generated codes, and a variety of
>qualitative and quantitative methods for analysing text.
NOTE: Attendance at the seminar is of course free, however, there are a
limited number of places available - please contact Ann Lewins, by email or
other (see signature block) as soon as possible to reserve a place.

An ongoing programme of 1 day workshops will take place throughout 1998 at the
University of Surrey. These will mostly occur on Wednesdays. Overflow
events will be arranged where there is a significant waiting list. Fee
structure for one day events includes a limited number of reduced/ free
(standby basis only) places for postgraduate students.
'Project-specific' or events restricted to particular groups can also be
organised. Since these will allow administrative savings to be made, lower
fees can be negotiated.
