Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) software is used to organize and structure data, codes, memos, and other components of a qualitative study, as well as support engagement in analysis.
This workshop is for qualitative researchers, new and established, interested in learning about MAXQDA, a software for which D-Lab provides substantive support (please note that while D-Lab can provide training and support, the software itself is not provided; a two-installation student license costs $95 for 24 months [best deal] and a one-installation student license costs $47 for 6 months; a 30-day trial is available to new users).
Assuming no prior knowledge in MAXQDA, this workshop will introduce participants to the website where the software can be downloaded and numerous training materials can be accessed. Then, participants will learn about the software’s basic features, including how to add data sources, set up a coding scheme, and apply codes. In addition, some of the software’s more advanced functionality, namely several visualization and analysis tools (e.g., the code relations browser and summary grid), will be introduced.
