In the March 2007 issue of Research, Tim Macer reviewed streamBASE GmbH’s Coding-Modul, a program specifically designed to assist in the process of coding a significant number of open-ended questions. Tim gave the software a generally positive review (4 out of 5 for ease of use; 4.5 out of 5 for value).
Tim liked the fact that Coding-Modul was a well-crafted system full of practical features for coding; that it allows you to easily distribute ‘packages’ of coding work to non-net connected individuals who are using standalone PCs; that it integrates seamlessly with Readsoft Forms; and that it has powerful administrative features to manage workflow.
Coding-Modul lost points because it is windows-based only; that automation features for typed texts are limited and that the documentation is not yet available in English (although it may be now).
