NVIVO Demo with Mellon Fellowship Interviews

Abstract

This project examined the use of NVIVO, a qualitative data analysis software, for understanding and visualizing the evaluation interviews from the Mellon Fellowship at Rhodes College. A Prezi showcased step by step screenshots for adding classifications, coding, and running queries such as matrix coding, cluster analysis, and hierarchy charts. Analyzing the interviews with NVIVO, the researcher noticed that many of the support challenges and successes described in interviews were similarly true for this project. For instance, the support for risk lauded by interviewees within the Mellon Fellowship is also central to the successful use of new digital technologies at the College like NVIVO.
