Those chapters give advice and help with the research processes the software supports. So each Tutorial explores in software the techniques and processes described in a chapter of the book. Theres no point in learning a technique if you cant see why you would want to be doing that, and theres danger in using software if you have not considered the possibly unintended consequences. In my experience of designing and teaching software, researchers often need methodological discussion of the software processes they were learning. You can use these tutorials alone, or use them with the chapters of my book, Handling Qualitative Data: a practical guide, London, Sage, 2005. My thanks to Sue Bullen and Fiona Wiltshier from QSR for making these alterations and checking that the tutorials properly represent the current software. These are edited versions of my tutorials for the earlier NVivo 7, with new illustrations to show the new look of the software and additions for new functions. These ten tutorials take you through the basic functions of the NVivo 8 software, with guidance to its interface and processes, as you set up and commence your own project.
