Key information
Attendance dates:
March 2021: 26Time commitment: 9:30am - 4pm
Overview
Dedoose is software to facilitate the management and analysis of qualitative data (text, audio/video, images, and survey-type data), providing a range of sophisticated tools for qualitative and mixed-methods analytic approaches.
This one day workshop provides a comprehensive overview of Dedoose and an opportunity for participants to practice tasks using sample data. The focus is on gaining confidence in setting up a project efficiently, managing and organising data, exploring and conceptualising data and interrogating and visualising data.
The course combines discussion, demonstration and hands-on work, including:
- Contextual discussions – developmental, methodological and analytical principles
- Software Overview – interface, architecture, tools
- Analytic Planning – ensuring analytic strategies drive the appropriate use of software tools
- Guided Instruction – step-by-step teaching in the operation of Dedoose and the use of tools for analytic tasks.
