NVivo software is an established software platform used primarily for coding and analyzing qualitative research data. This workshop will go over the basics of using NVivo for data analysis. We will start a project file and learn to import various types of files for analysis. We will discuss how to proceed with coding and how the use of file classifications and case classifications can help you to better query your findings once your initial analysis has been complete. In the end we will explore some of the query and export functions.

What you need: If you have a license of NVivo on a laptop you can use it to follow along. Having the software at the workshop is optional.

Completion of this workshop can contribute to a partial requirement of the University of Alberta Professional Development program by the Faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies (GPS). Information on how attendance will be recorded will be discussed in the workshop.
