This workshop has sessions on multiple days. You should plan to attend all the sessions.
In this project-based workshop series, participants will learn how to use MAXQDA as a tool for organizing and analyzing qualitative data. They will become familiar with import/export functions, annotation functions (memos/coded), and with using a variety of media in the software (video, audio, images, text, pdf etc). Through working on a small project, participants will have an immersive experience with the software and will be ready to successfully use the software in their own research projects.
The exploration of the software will be guided by a meaningful task: the participants will collaborate in creating user guides within the software MAXQDA. The guides will focus on the methods & data used by the participants; thus, the users will be able to learn the use of the functions that are most relevant to their research. The user guides will also be made accessible to other users via the QDA Tools Website at the School of Education?s MERIT library at the end of the semester. No previous experience with MAXQDA is necessary.
Participants are required to bring their own laptops with MAXQDA (either MAC or WINDOWS versions) installed and running (trial version or registered version). A free 30-day trial of MAXQDA is available (http://www.maxqda.com/downloads/demo). This is a small-group workshop; the number of participants is limited to 15; participants are expected to attend all three sessions.
This course will be held in the Teacher Education Building (MERIT Library)
