SPSS Practice Dataset (zip format)
SPSS Practice Dataset: tutorialfile.sav

This file was created for use with the manual, Making SPSS Accessible for Individuals with Disabilities. by Castaneda, M. & Gugerty, J. (2006), University of Wisconsin-Madison, Center on Education and Work. [available July, 2006]

This file contains the SPSS database created with the sample data set included in Appendix B of this manual. It includes four variables and 21 subjects. The variables and data have already been entered and documented as discussed in Chapter 2 of the manual. When progressing through this manual to learn SPSS, JAWS users may find it easier to use this pre-made dataset if they experience difficulty navigating the SPSS data editor when attempting to create their own data set (as discussed in Chapter 2).

The file is stored in a .zip archive. In WindowsXP or later, download the file (click or right-click and choose Save Link As...), and then simply open it using windows explorer (double-click the file on the desktop), and choose "Extract All" from the left-hand menu. On older versions of Windows (or other operating systems) make sure you have a program that can extract files from a .zip archive (Win-Zip and 7zip are two commonly used programs). Once the file (tutorialfile.sav) is extracted, it may be opened using SPSS, as shown in Chapter 3 of the manual.

Please note that you need to have the SPSS program already installed in your computer before you can access this SPSS Practice Dataset.
