Course information

PLEASE NOTE: This workshop will run online.  If you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your place at least two working days before so that we can allow others onto the course.

This is the second of two linked GRADskills workshops that will provide a comprehensive introduction to the qualitative analysis programme NVivo, a powerful tool for the organisation of large and unwieldy amounts of qualitative data to facilitate efficient, effective and transparent data analysis. You must attend part 1 in order to sign up for part 2.

In this workshop we will explore different analysis outputs within NVivo, how to use queries to effectively cross-tabulate to search large amounts of material for specific outputs and finally how to use NVivo to facilitate framework analysis.  How you use NVivo will depend on what questions you’re trying to answer, which is probably driven by your project and discipline. As such the presenter will also spend time supporting people to answer specific questions about how functionality would be best used for their specific project.

You must install NVivoon your computer before the workshop. The University has a site licence and you can download NVivo using Apps Anywhere.

Aims and objectives

By the end of this workshop you should be able to:

• Create a range out outputs from NVivo
• Use cross-tabulation functions to find specific pieces of data
• Use NVivoto facilitate Framework Analysis approaches
