ISSR Methodology Workshop | Coding Qualitative Data with NVIVO

Instructor: Grazielle Valentim

The ISSR NVivo workshop series covers the main aspects of using NVivo 15* for qualitative data organization, management, and analysis, providing you with practical skills that you can apply to your research. ‘Coding Qualitative Data with NVivo’ will help you understand the process of labeling and grouping similar data types, making the visualization of themes and data analysis more manageable as you develop your project. Additionally, I will introduce you to the new AI function on NVivo. Using an NVivo 15 sample project, you will practice organizing and coding various qualitative data files, including text, PDFs, spreadsheets, photos, audio, and video. We will delve deeper into the elements of coding, including autocoding, coding for relationships and sentiments, memos, annotations, and the coding system. Basic familiarity with NVivo is recommended.
