This seminar-type course provides a highly interactive online teaching and learning environment, using state of the art online pedagogical tools. It is designed specifically for a demanding audience (researchers, professional analysts, advanced students) and is capped at a maximum of 12 participants so that the Instructor can cater to the specific needs of each individual.
This course gives you a solid foundation and applied skills in qualitative data analysis.
You will learn the conceptual basis of a strong qualitative research design, different approaches to code qualitative data, techniques to seek patterns across themes and cases, strategies to present qualitative findings convincingly and tips to create a transparent audit trail of your analysis process.
The course blends theory and practice, and uses NVivo software for the hands-on exercises. You can take course on its own, or in preparation for Advanced Qualitative Data Analysis in week three.

Are you planning to conduct interviews or focus groups for your data collection, or perhaps collect policy papers or social media data from blogs, Facebook or Twitter? After you complete your data collection, you will sooner or later have to confront the mass of data you gathered and analyse your material.
But will you know how?
This course provides strategic understanding of, and applied skills in, planning, conducting and reporting qualitative data analysis in one’s research. You will learn the key concepts that underlie the process of qualitative analysis, which often go missing in qualitative research seminars, and are rarely discussed in mainstream qualitative methods textbooks, such as:
The course, which uses NVivo software for qualitative analysis, explores these topics and more and puts them into practice during hands-on sessions. You will be able to work on your own data, discuss your research design, and troubleshoot problems with regard to your analysis with the teaching assistant, and present your analysis plan at the Master Class.
The course combines asynchronous pre-class assignments, such as readings and watching pre-recorded videos, as well as daily two-hour live sessions with Zoom. To prevent Zoom fatigue and boredom, the course pedagogy includes small-group work, short focused tasks and troubleshooting exercises using a range of online apps that support collective work and participant engagement with the course content.
This course assumes no previous knowledge of qualitative data analysis or NVivo, but requires basic understanding of qualitative research. Only the basic features of NVivo will be taught.
