Welcome to this ELAN training blog 

ELAN is a software package for annotating audio and video recordings (Nijmegen: Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, The Language Archive). 

This ELAN training blog was developed to provide an overview of the main functions needed to start coding dyadic interactions. 

Note, the functions covered in this training blog are applicable to the annotation of interactions linked to a specific type of video based dyadic interaction coding. It is therefore not an exhaustive encyclopedia of every function within ELAN, nor every type of dyadic interaction coding. For access to the coding manuals of parent-infant interactions linked to this coding blog, please email Jasmine.Siew@ugent.be. 

For a more detailed focus on the functions of ELAN, the full manual provided by the Max Planck Institute is available on their website: https://www.mpi.nl/corpus/manuals/manual-elan.pdf. 

To start using this ELAN training blog, first download the program (Blogpost 01) and follow a short course developed by Aalborg University: https://vilacourses.aau.dk/elan/#/id/5834bba15c25184daac2cc8e (specifically modules 1 & 3). This is a short introductory course to get you familiar with ELAN. Next, read through the blogposts within this training blog, in sequential order. Whilst going through each blogpost, ensure you are interacting with ELAN. 

Feel free to email any questions to: Jasmine.Siew@ugent.be
