1) A while ago, I was moaning about the lack of low-learning curve software tools for coding #qualitative data to a colleague. It seems like you either have to do hard copy stuff with pen and paper, or invest time (and potentially money) into big software packages. 2) I have found Nvivo etc. a bit too 'much' - both for myself and my students. The learning curve is quite high, and it doesn't really match onto the processes of #reflexiveTA that I use and teach (which make sense, because Nvivo et al. weren't designed for this method).
