Convenor:

Dr Christina Silver (University of Surrey)


Abstract Details

Computer Assisted Qualitative Data AnalysiS (CAQDAS) packages have been available for several decades, yet instruction is not embedded across university curricula. This session considers reasons for and implications of this, suggesting models for curriculum development. Presentations from expert users and teachers of qualitative methodology and software, including NVivo, ATLAS.ti and MAXQDA present results of research into technology adoption, discuss challenges and experiences of teaching methodology and software together and illustrate models of good practice.
