[Jason Taylor]

Over at http://www.Dedoose.com we have finished deploying the new training
center, a massive step forward in validating qualitative and mixed methods
research.  The Dedoose Training Center is all about great research and our
efforts to include features that support the development and practice of
systematic and rigorous qualitative and mixed methods research.  After a lot
of hard work by our Dedoose team, we're thrilled to finally see the Training
Center online.  The Training Center is, as one user put it, 'a god-send' for
both research individuals and teams who want to insure reliability and
validity in their qualitative code system application and quantitative code
weighting activity.  We began by drawing upon our pioneering implementations
in EthnoNotes, and then expanded the Training Center to increase the
efficiency of creating tests, reviewing test results, and implemented more
rigorous and sophisticated statistics and other test feedback.  We are
confident that users will find the system a pleasure to use and will
appreciate how the Center helps researchers build and maintain
scientifically valid and rigorous best practices.    Just another step on
the road the make Dedoose the best qualitative and mixed-methods research
app around.  Stay up with the latest on our blog:

In other news we changed our pricing model to a simple $11/month per user
for most users, and also extended the free trial period to an entire month.
That means you can try Dedoose today with no commitment, no credit card.   

Please help us improve Dedoose and Qualitative and Mixed Methods research by
giving us feedback, ideas, and your support!

Thanks,
