This workshop offers a step by step introduction on how to use NVivo coding software for your qualitative research projects. This workshop begins with a sample project in NVivo, and will use examples to demonstrate how to import data into the program, assign classification information to files, create node structure and begin coding files within NVivo. 

This workshop is designed for users who are newer or completely new to using NVivo. Throughout the workshop, we will work within a sample project, developing the basic comprehensive knowledge needed to use NVivo software for your own projects.
