Tue, 12 Jan 2027 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
The Introduction to NVivo for Data Analysis workshop provides participants with a foundational understanding of the NVivo software, a powerful tool widely used in qualitative data analysis. By the end of the workshop, participants will gain the skills necessary to navigate NVivo, add data files, and use basic coding and query functions. This workshop is suitable for beginners with little to no prior experience with NVivo, or those interested in a refresher.
The first hour will focus on an overview of basic NVivo functionality; during the second hour, participants will have the opportunity for facilitated exploration of a sample dataset. Familiarity with basic qualitative data analysis is helpful but not required. It is recommended for participants to have NVivo software downloaded and installed prior to the workshop in order to follow along during the demo hour and play with the sample dataset in the second hour.
NVivo can be downloaded through JMU LIbraries.
