This course is designed for researchers who plan to use NVivo to manage, code, and analyse qualitative data in the context of academic research, public policy and not-for-profit applied research.
This is the course you need if you want to learn the added value of using qualitative software to manage large amounts of data efficiently, triangulate different data sources seamlessly, improve the auditability of your research and conduct your analysis in a rigorous and transparent manner.
The course is structured around four modules that follow the logical sequence of a qualitative journey. You will learn to
You can take this course on its own, or in preparation for Advanced Qualitative Data Analysis in week one or in week two.
The course is entirely hands-on and uses sample data to learn NVivo’s functionalities. It uses the latest version of NVivo R.1 for Mac and Windows. You must run this version to successfully attend the course as previous versions (10 or 12) have different interfaces. If this is your situation, or if your university does not provide you with an NVivo license, you can download the NVivo 14-day free trial. The free trial is fully operational, but can't be reinstalled on a same computer once it expires.
For Mac users: please note that NVivo R.1 for Mac does not currently have all the features of NVivo for Windows. If you are a Mac user and want to learn all the features taught on this course, you must attend using a PC.
Outside class hours, you will be able to work on your own data, or articles of your literature review if you have not yet collected data. With help from the teaching assistant, you will also be able to troubleshoot any problems you might have with regard to your analysis in NVivo.
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 engagement with the course content.
Although no previous knowledge of NVivo is required, you should have some familiarity with qualitative research.
This course is for either NVivo R.1 for Windows and Mac.
