Our Director, Dr Lyn Lavery has had a busy start to the year with NVivo training, having run courses for University of Auckland, University of Otago, Victoria University, and University of Canterbury. Our own NVivo training schedule has also seen staff and students from AUT, Bethlehem Training Institute and Christchurch Polytechnic learning how to make the most of NVivo. Feedback from all training has been excellent, and Lyn enjoyed helping so many research projects get off to a great start in 2010. We have scheduled a number of new NVivo and research-related courses over the coming months - with PBRF outputs weighing heavily on everyone's mind this year, now is the time to find out how software can assist you in becoming more efficient and productive. Details of our current courses can be found at: http://www.academic-consulting.co.nz/training/register-course |

QSR International have announced that the next version of their popular NVivo software will be released in October 2010. Features that we can look forward to are improved methods for working with mixed methods data, new automated tools to quickly grasp themes and patterns, and improved visualisation tools. The feature that the team at Academic Consulting is most looking forward to is the capacity for multiple team members to work with a project at one time. For further information about the changes and new features, visit the QSR International website at: http://www.qsrinternational.com/news_whats-new_detail.aspx?view=194 |

Academic Consulting is pleased to announce the introduction of a Recommended Reading page. We’re often asked to recommend books relating to research, writing, or research software, so we’ve had a brainstorming session in the office and come up with our favourite twenty-six books. These cover a wide range of areas including qualitative and quantitative research skills and/or data analysis, as well as writing and style guides. Speaking of style guides – there is a new edition of the APA manual (6th) available which is listed on the page.
Clicking on any of the book images will take you through to the Fishpond website, where you will find further details and purchasing information.
If you have any recommendations for books to be included on the page, please do contact us to let us know. |
