Developing a skill for analyzing qualitative data (e.g., interviews, texts, scraped web contents) is essential for researchers in social sciences and humanities who focus on data other than quantitative data. This workshop is for beginners as it will introduce the participants to the importance of qualitative data analysis, and how to get started with using NVivo software.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

• understand the importance of qualitative data
• get familiarized with NVivo interface and functionality
• upload recorded interviews, audio files, pdf, word documents and other file formats into NVivo
• get started with developing codes
• identify alternative (free) qualitative data analysis software.

Note: This workshop will be held in person at the Chancellor Paterson Library computer lab, and registration is required.

If you are already familiar with NVivo and its functionalities, but want to get more nuanced understanding of coding qualitative data and developing codes into themes, this two-hour in person workshop is for you. You will be introduced to a step-by-step practical hands-on approach on how to use NVivo software for qualitative data analysis, and how you can prepare and report/discuss your themes in qualitative research.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

• develop qualitative data codes
• categorize codes into themes
• refine, group, and name themes
• develop analytical themes
• visualize qualitative data in NVivo (e.g., word tree, word cloud, thematic tables)
• export your codebook and visualized figures into MS Word

Note: This workshop will be held in person at the Chancellor Paterson Library computer lab, and registration is required. Participants will have opportunities for follow-up in person appointments with the facilitator to imrprove areas of weaknesses.
