This workshop is flexibly structured to address common challenges of working with NVivo to enable participants to move on with their analysis. It is designed for students and researchers who have previously attended an introductory NVivo training workshop in and/or who have been using the software for a real project for some time (at least a few months of active use). Anyone using NVivo version 12 or above on Mac or Windows can attend this workshop.

The day comprises discussion, demonstration and hands-on sessions and combines group and individual work. We refresh straightforward uses of software tools and cover more sophisticated uses of tools in relation to the needs of those attending. 

Participants work with their own NVivo projects during the session and there are opportunities to discuss work with one another and the Tutor. 

Participants are asked ahead of time for information about their progress with NVivo and the aspects for which they require support such that the workshop can be tailored specifically to the needs of those attending. The workshop is accompanied by relevant documentation. 

The course combines discussion, demonstration and hands-on work, including:

• 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
• Small group discussions and individual support – time for participants to discuss their projects
