Cactool Worksheets

Here are key worksheets you can complete to familiarise yourself with undertaking a content analysis with Cactool. They come with datasets so no need to collect your own data beforehand. We recommend going through both before undertaking an analysis on your own.

These are designed to be easy to follow, and are a great way of teaching yourself, or your students, how to use the platform.

Worksheet One – The Cute Index

This worksheet will take you through setting up a pre-collected dataset of cat and dog posts across a range of social media platforms. You will learn how to:

• Format the dataset for uploading to Cactool;
• Setting up the question sheet;
• Undertaking a quick content analysis;
• And exporting and analysing this data.

Worksheet Two – Analysing Images in Cactool

In this worksheet, you will learn about Cactool’s image analysis options. You will learn how to set up and upload the two datafiles, before conducting a quick analysis

As Cactool is under active development, some features may look slightly different from the tutorials. If you have any questions or queries, please email liam.mcloughlin {..@..} Liverpool.ac.uk.
