We had our first coding session (a "coding party") in Toronto! We tested three key instruments:
It took us almost an hour to code the first iSquare since there was a lot to discuss. But soon we were coding at a rate of 1 iSquare per minute and there was consensus on our decisions (high intercoder reliability -- a good thing).
We are still refining all the documents and the process...
We wish you could've been at the party too, but hopefully these photos are a good substitute! Have a look at the slideshow below and see what happened!
- a Code Framework (the variables and values of interest on the iSquares)
- a Coding Manual (instructions on interpreting the variables and values)
- a Code Matrix (an Excel spreadsheet that records results)
