Collaboration between CAQDAS Networking Project/QUIC and Online QDA/Requallo

The CAQDAS Networking project resource is closely connected to the Online QDA website. The resources have been developed in close collaboration and are intended to provide a rounded service to qualitative researchers.

Online QDA is our sister project. Hosted by Huddersfield University and created jointly with the CAQDAS Networking project staff, Online QDA is a set of training support materials which address common problems (both early and advanced) of using Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) methods and selected Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) packages. The QDA website is concerned with issues and individual experiences of qualitative data analysis itself. It includes a list of common qualitative methodologies with definitions and links to further related resources as well as information relating to the processes of qualitative data anlaysis such as writing, coding, analytic techniques, writing up and issues relating to quality. The REQUALLO (Reusable Qualitative Learning Objects) project is part of Online QDA which contains case-study exemplars of data and explications of the analytic procedures from recent, real research projects.

The CAQDAS Networking project resource concerns itself with the use of software to assist in the processes of qualitative data analysis.  In particular we aim to provide researchers with face to face training events at introductory level and online resources which will enable simple/complex and innovative aspects of data integration and project design to be considered and planned.

On the CAQDAS Networking Project Support Pages we frequently link to the Online QDA website where additional background information can be found.
