From Pepperdine University: HyperResearch Creates HyperHappy Doctoral Students

We love to hear from customers who tell us how HyperRESEARCH has helped them do their research.

I was especially delighted when I discovered this video from Pepperdine University's Graduate School of Education and Psychology. It's a presentation organized by Dr. Kay Davis, titled "HyperResearch Creates HyperHappy Doctoral Students." 

The Education Division of the GSEP provides licensed copies of HyperRESEARCH to doctoral students engaging in qualitative research. This video presentation serves as an introduction to the software, discusses why Pepperdine University chose HyperRESEARCH, how they use it, and explores student feedback on the software. 

This presentation was originally offered to Pepperdine University students and faculty in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology (GSEP) in February, 2014. The video replay is available on Pepperdine's "Community" website, and also on YouTube.  

Here's the full video (1 hour - see below for links to key points within the video):

 

 

 

Of course, policies and practices for dissertation research vary among universities and instutitions. So not all of this information will be pertinent to every doctoral student or graduate program!

 

Here are some links to specific portions of Pepperdine University's video for those interested (will open in a new window and autoplay beginning at the appropriate start time):

 

Why do we need qualitative analysis software? (timecode 8:28-9:45) "...software provides us with a faster and more efficient way to code our data...much more flexibility... ability to search and query... easy access to multiple users"

Why HyperRESEARCH and HyperTRANSCRIBE software? (timecode 9:45-10:45) "...cross-platform... supports coding, theming, and theory building... highly intuitive, it's user friendly as an interface..."

Why Paula Thompson is a fan of HyperRESEARCH (timecode 15:00-16:40) "... for students at the dissertation phase, it's often the right-sized tool for the volume of data that they're working with and the complexity of analysis that they're doing...."

HyperTRANSCRIBE (timecode 18:28-19:10)

Various features of HyperRESEARCH (timecode 20:07-32:50) (see also Researchware's webinar replays)

Student comments regarding their experience with HyperRESEARCH (timecode 38:52 - 41:07) "...easy to use. made reporting and tracking codes much easier...."

Student comments on their experiences with HyperTRANSCRIBE (timecode 41:08 - 42:52) "...this was a gem! Hyper Transcribe allowed me to easily create transcripts of the interviews for my research...."

Student advice for other students (timecode 42:55 - 45:46) "...begin transcribing your data as soon as possible...", "...learn tool early!"
