Limitations on number of participants
- Basic analysis grids are limited to handling up to 200 participants.
- Larger datasets require alternative methods like custom grids or AI chat that sample from your data (read more)
- Excel file uploads are capped at files with up to 500 rows. Larger datasets currently need to be broken up into smaller files.
Analysing Online Qualitative Data
CoLoop has several specific features for analysing online qual data from Communities and Online Bulletin Boards. They are different to typical interview based projects as they are typically:- More Structured: sections of the research are broken up into specific tasks and activities
- More Segmented: contain a lot more segments and sub groups within the participants
- More Participants: they are typically larger than interview or focus group based projects
- More Media Types: they often contain multiple different media types e.g. Audio, video, text based etc.
Basic Analysis Grids
- Basic analysis grids now support the scoping of specific columns to tasks, segments, questions, activities or files.
- When entering a prompt in the analysis grid you can choose from a list of these using the dropdown (see below)
Custom Analysis Grids
Custom analysis grids can be very helpful for analysing online qual data for the following reasons:- They allow you to compare between different segments
- They allow you to generate thematic analyses for projects with more than 50 participants
- Add additional rows to the grid and choose sets of segments to apply them to (read more)
Filtered AI Chats
- AI Chats can also be filtered down to specific tasks, activities or questions
- This is useful if you want to scope your analysis with a particular subset of your research material
- Itโs a great way to uncover additional detail or find specific supporting quotes.
