NVivo 9 Follow-up Working 9 November 2011 (Sociology - CAQDAS)
Wednesday 9 November 2011
Registration: 10a.m., Course start time 10.30a.m.
Presenters: TBC
This workshop is designed for those who have been working on a real project using NVivo 9 for some time. Most participants will have previously attended an Introductory Workshop, although this is not a pre-requisite. The aim is to move participants on from the basic tasks of setting up a project and coding data. This is not a repeat of aspects covered in the Introductory Workshop and it is assumed that participants have a basic working knowledge of the software. Rather, this workshop covers more advanced tasks including query functions, model tool and data representation and reporting functions. The exact content of each follow-up workshop depends on the needs of the individual participants attending, and we enquire about progress and specific issues ahead of time to plan accordingly. Participants are encouraged to bring work-in-progress along to the workshop (either on a laptop or memory stick). The workshop is accompanied by intermediate/advanced documentation.
