Unfortunately this event has been cancelled.

QDA Miner and Wordstat are part of a suite of bespoke mixed methods analytic tools provided by Provalis Research. QDA Miner is a qualitative and mixed methods tool, providing powerful coding, annotating, retrieving and analyzing functions. WordStat is a text analysis tool providing sophisticated quantitative content analysis and text mining tools. Used together they provide sophisticated and flexible means to integrate qualitative and quantitative data and analyses, in ways unique in comparison to other options currently available. There is now a Lite version of QDA Miner, providing free access to the basic features of QDA Miner.

 

This one day workshop provides a general overview to the core functionality of QDA Miner with an introduction to the ways in which the use of WordStat can contribute to mixed methods analyses of textual data. It is suitable for those wanting to explore the possibilities of software which offers sophisticated content analysis and text mining functionality alongside a suite of qualitative analysis tools.

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 NVivo and the use of tools for analytic tasks
  • Individual Support – time for participants to discuss their projects with the Tutor

Please note: This is a Bring Your Own Laptop workshop – you will need to have installed the latest version of QDA Miner and WordStat on your laptop before arriving at the workshop.
