Description
This course is designed for researchers who plan to use NVivo to manage, code, and analyse qualitative data and present qualitative findings in articles, reports or theses. This is the course you need if you are looking for training in using a qualitative software that supports the research process from beginning to end. The course is structured around four modules that address the following topics: importing and organising a dataset in NVivo; managing a literature review; autocoding structured data and coding data inductively; reporting the coding process; seeking patterns and identifying relationships during analysis; using visualisations to present qualitative findings; sharing NVivo projects and coordinating team work. The course is entirely hands-on and uses sample data to practise using NVivo’s functionalities. Please note that this course does not teach qualitative data analysis in NVivo based on specific methods such as thematic analysis, content analysis, grounded theory, etc. (for such course see Advanced Qualitative Data Analysis I teach at the ECPR Winter School or as freelance).
Prerequisites
Although no previous knowledge of NVivo is required, participants should have some familiarity with qualitative research.
