This workshop demonstrates that community-based researchers can use
qualitative software to manage and analyze multiple forms of data (text,
audio, video and/or graphic files) without diminishing the methodological
integrity of their work. This workshop will focus on the variety of data
formats available for use within qualitative software such as ATLAS.ti
and MAXqda, including episode summaries and profiles, memo writing,
codebook and theme evolution, strategies for data review and analysis,
and output and visual diagramming tools. Dr. Maietta is president and
founder of ResearchTalk Inc., which provides training on all phases of
qualitative analysis to university, government, non-profit and corporate
researchers.
Workshop Fee: $150 (regular) / $75 (student)
