This online short course provides a practical introduction to qualitative data analysis using MAXQDA. It aims to equip participants with the skills to use digital tools and to understand their implications for qualitative analysis. The content is particularly relevant to those seeking to enhance their data literacy, particularly in the context of emerging generative AI tools and the expectations that qualitative evidence is handled transparently and robustly.
The sessions are spaced a week apart to allow participants time to explore the software independently and return with questions or reflections. However, it is also possible to opt for just one day of study.
