Data Jams UWEX

Data Jam Initiative builds institutional capacity in analyzing large bodies of textual data using QDA software. Also devs of Data Jam Tool Kit. In @UWEXCoopExt.

@VerbiSoftware Woooo, these are exciting changes! Can't wait to explore them further!

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

We're jamming today! Spending time w/ tools that map geo-tagged data. Discussion: which literacies are needed to pull/interpret these maps?

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

that was intense. #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

Thanks all! If you want to discuss how to wrestle the textual data beast, contact me, or check out https://t.co/Eh28w8KHjf #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

We're using the software as a common workspace to get eval specialists, and program specialists together and engage around data #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

Some may of heard of other products (nvivo, dedoose, atlas.ti...) #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

for example, we're using MAXQDA at UWEX #edtechln

Q6: Who's using Qualitative Data Analysis Software - and which products? #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

At UWEX we're using Qualitative data analysis software as the backbone for large datasets and as retainers for ongoing analysis #edtechln

@JamieMSeger @KyrieEHC #edtechln That'll give me a smooth transition to plugging in the Data Jam initiative: https://t.co/Eh28w8KHjf

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

@JamieMSeger @KyrieEHC #edtechln we should chat! i think our data jams are really similar to hackathons , we're doing a longitudinal study

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

@JamieMSeger that could be a budget design exercise too: to have 10% of eval budget committed to follow-up #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

@JamieMSeger #edtechln basically to have not only a short term eval strategy but mid- and longterm eval modules for follow up

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

A5: So far i've heard the issue of follow-up opportunities #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

Q5: (modified) What are general barriers to reliably construct/project/estimate impact from textual data sources? #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

Q5: What are technical barriers to reliably construct/project/estimate impact from textual data sources? #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

@OSUExtTech @matteson66 ...yep...i'll fold this into the next question...

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

Q4: In an ideal world, what would you get out of your 'dusty' textual data? #edtechln

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

@OSUExtTech @JamieMSeger @EBourgeois #edtechln this warrants discussion of 'impact' as a construct on multiple lvls..personal, systemic...

[Data Jams UWEX @DataJamsUWEX]

@JamieMSeger #edtechln I also think that institutional documents, like program reports, institute reports etc are 'data'
