NVivo is data analysis software designed for researchers working with qualitative information, such as interviews, documents, survey data and webpages. Our ‘NVivo Core Skills’ course covers the basics of NVivo, and is ideal for those who are new to the software. We’ll cover NVivo from start to finish, walking you through how to set up a project and work with data (including a variety of coding techniques). More advanced features such as queries, reporting and visualizations will also be briefly introduced.
By the end of this course attendees will have a good understanding of how to:
- Navigate around the NVivo interface
- Set up and work with NVivo projects, including saving and backing up
- Prepare, import, and work with data (specifically PDFs and Word documents)
- Code data in NVivo, and choose a coding technique that is fit for purpose
- Use memos as a way of recording important project related information
- Create folders and utilise them to tailor the scope of queries
- Perform keyword searches and look at how these apply to the data analysis process
- Use reporting tools to extract key data and other project related information.
