Course preparations and material
Download and install NVivo (PC) or VMware (Mac)
Note that NVivo is optimized for Windows and we only offer courses in NVivo for Windows. Mac users can use NVivo for Windows in VMware.
Please see our guide for more help installing NVivo or VMWare and follow the instructions there.
- PC users with a UiO laptop: download and install NVivo from Software Center
- PC users with a private laptop: download and install from winprog, and enter the license key provided at winprog on the NVivo activation page (look for "provide enterprise key to activate" at the bottom, disregard NVivo log in)
- Mac users (UiO or private laptop): download and install VMware for UiO Program Kiosk
Download and extract (unpack) the provided zip file
You can download this zip file which contains material you can use to try out functions in NVivo. The zip file needs to be extracted (unpacked) before files from it can be imported to NVivo.
Once you extract the zip file, you will see it consists of a folder (president project), containing three sub folders.
Place the extracted (unpacked) folder (president project) in an area you can import from to NVivo. This will vary depending on what computer you are using (UiO Windows computer, a private Windows computer, or Mac working in VMware for Program Kiosk). See our help pages on files and import in Program Kiosk.
