Workshops
On-site workshops provide a practical
introduction to qualitative software NVivo and how it may
be used for qualitative data analysis. Each workshop
is designed to meet the experience and requirements of the
audience. We often combine an overview workshop for a
group of interested researchers with some start up time for
those ready to embark on using the software on their own
project.
What is a workshop?
A workshop consists of lecture sessions with demonstrations
of the software and integrated practical sessions.
The practical sessions can be based on participants'
own data allowing participants to work at their own pace,
catering for varying degrees of computer expertise.
A workshop can look at a range of qualitative software
with, if required, practical sessions using demonstration
copies so that the host does not require multiple licences.
For practical sessions at least one machine for every
two participants is recommended.
What is a typical workshop
like?
A half or one day workshop may be appropriate for
researchers wishing to assess the qualitative software.
This covers the main types of software and shows,
with examples, how it may be used in different types of
qualitative research. Typically an overview workshop
includes demonstrations and discussion on how the software
could be used in participant's research but does not
include practical session.
A two day workshop provides a thorough practical
introduction to NVivo and shows how it may be used to
support qualitative research. By the end of the
workshop, participants will be able to set up their own
project and use basic coding and searching facilities.
Frequently a third day is added which focuses on
design issues and helps with project startup .
A two day advanced workshop for those with a basic
understanding of NVivo covers techniques for speeding up
routine tasks, advanced searching and reporting,
visualisation and team working.
Further training can be provided for specific projects
using the master class technique.
Can it be done remotely?
Individual tuition is available as one or more
’webinar’s where the researcher has the right
background and a good enough internet connection.
