The Leading Qualitative Software Tool Used by Qualitative Researchers

Course Outline

Day 1:  Explore NVivo and Create a New Project

In the Morning Session you will learn to:

1. Explore the functionalities of NVivo.
2. Create a practice project and set up folders for your data.
3. Import interview transcripts into the practice project.
4. Learn to code a transcript into both “open-codes” and “thematic coding framework”.
5. Annotate your coding, attach coding summaries in memos to transcripts and nodes.
6. Create memos for field notes, reflective notes, and supervision meeting records.

In the Afternoon Session you will learn to:

1. Organise your growing open-codes into thematic coding structure using colour to cluster them.
2. Examine your coding using Coding Stripes and highlights.
3. Classify the interviews by their demographic attributes and values.
4. Create relationship types and use them to construct relationship nodes to code into.

Day 2: Advance functions in NVivo

The second day is designed as a follow-on from day one.

In the Morning Session you will learn to:

1. Use sets and search folders to organise and filter your data for specific research questions.
2. Use a number of queries – coding, matrix and group queries to ask questions and gather coded references to answer them.
3. Use concept maps, project maps to explore and patterns and relationships in your data.
4. Explore the use of audio, video, and social media content in NVivo.
5. Advise on how to setup and manage a group project involving a number of researchers or coders from different geographical locations, working on the same project.

In the Afternoon session you will learn how to:

1. Create a literature review project and learn how to quickly explore your literature using keywords and phrases;
2. Code your finds into thematic coding framework for further analysis and reporting.
3. Generate “word cloud” for poster presentation.
4. Create Framework Matrices – a data reduction methodology developed by Liz Spencer and Jane Ritchie of NatCen to conduct case by case analysis of policy document or systematic literature review.

Use the remaining time to work on your own project and receive individual support from the tutor.
