[game_edu] Categories/concepts of "coding" qualitative research lists for game development education?

[Jose P. Zagal]

Again, it depends on what your research questions are. Based on what you 
are researching, you might have some codes prepared (hypothetical ones) 
that might help with your initial analyses of your data. To put it 
another way, what are you coding for? I think that "patterns in teaching 
game development" is too broad and vague.
