Qualitative Data Analysis
I have an assignment where I must code and analyze a transcript between 2 females, 2 males and myself. As I read the script, I am to think about answering 3 main questions:
1.What are the main concepts in distance education?
2.What are the program and instructional design considerations for distance education?
3.What is the relationship between technology and distance education?
The categories in the table provided in the attached file have been provided to us along with a list of possible codes. I have assigned most of the codes to categories. I would like a second opinion on the assignment of the codes plus some guidance on where to place the remaining four codes listed at the bottom of the table. Additionally, suggestions for other codes and which categories they would be assigned to would be greatly appreciated.
