Aim and content
This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list.

Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1. Discuss the benefits and limitations of using computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS)
2. Assess how CAQDAS can be used to assist them in their research
3. Get started with NVivo for their research
4. Use various ‘queries’ within NVivo to explore qualitative data
Content
This hands-on course introduces participants to NVivo, a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software package that can assist with the management and analysis of qualitative data. It will provide participants with the information and practice needed for them to get started with their own projects.

Day 1 will introduce participants to NVivo and its workspace. Using sample data, participants will learn how to import and code different forms of data material (such as PDFs, audio, video, pictures, spreadsheets and transcripts). Participants will learn how to refine and shape an evolving coding frame as well as how to retrieve and view emerging themes from their data. Basic text analysis tools will also be introduced. In the afternoon, participants will have the opportunity to practice by setting up their own NVivo project, importing and coding their own material (if available at this time, otherwise sample data will be made available).

Day 2 will introduce participants to some of the coding queries and visualisations that are available within NVivo to explore patterns within qualitative data. Participants will also learn how they can use NVivo to develop models and illustrate relationships within data as well as how to develop and export reports and visualisations of qualitative data. In the afternoon, participants will get an opportunity to practice on their own data.

Please note that this is an introductory course and cannot introduce all of the functions available within NVivo. It does however aim to provide novices with the practice and confidence to use and further explore the functions available within NVivo.
