QualCoder

Definitely we feel that we are doing what’s best:

There has been a lot of downloads of the executables, with minimal problems mentioned. There is a separate link for the Ubuntu executable, so those downloads are not listed below. However, it is hard to know how many people are just ‘kicking the tyres’ to see if QualCoder is something they can use, or if they are actively using the software. QualCoder does not contain any telemetry to get that kind of feedback.

The recording from the Temple University workshop is now available.

One of the considerations in adopting and open-source free program is usability and whether it has the same essential features as popular commercial tools.

This workshop will look at QualCoder and compare it with these commercial programs on ten dimensions (1) installation and customization; (2) supported files/data types; (3)  workspace, project, file and data management; (4) cases and files classification; (5) memos, annotations and journals; (6) coding (manual, auto and AI assisted); (7) visualization; (8) analysis, querying and reporting; (9) collaboration; and (10) converting to/from other qualitative data analysis tools.

The Workshop was conducted 12th May by Van Tran Temple University Librarian. The YouTube video is below:

Sepp Meyer has developed Docker code to have an alternative way to run QualCoder through a webbrowser.

I have not tried out out, and am interested to see comments on its use, but it might be a way especially for the various Linux distributions to run QualCoder.

Thanks very much to Van Tran, Temple University Librarian for making installation videos for macOS and for showing how the Windows 11 installer and uninstaller works.
