» NVivo - kvalitativ dataanalys
The advanced Nvivo workshops presupposes a general understanding of the software. More specifically participants should be familiar with how to set up projects in Nvivo, how to import data, how to use different basic features such as memos, maps and folders, as well as understand the basics of how to work with coding and cases. All of this is covered in the introductory workshops. Additionally, the advanced workshops may also require a coded dataset.
