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. Using an NVivo 15 sample project, you will practice organizing and coding various qualitative data files, such as text, PDFs, spreadsheets, photos, audio, and video. In addition, we will dive deeper into the elements of coding introduced in the 'Introduction to NVivo: The Basics' workshop, such as autocoding, coding for relationships and sentiments, memos, annotations, and the coding system. Basic familiarity with NVivo at the level of the ‘Introduction to NVivo: The Basics’ workshop** is necessary.
