Good news that such seminars are happening for teachers, Annie!
For info: there are considerable free resources for teachers teaching qualitative research with QSR software now. We found this was the best way to deal with the demand for help. The workshop handbooks and Getting Started manuals for N6 and NVivo are free in pdf version on the website with other stuff on a "Resources for Teachers" page - and can be freely duplicated. http://www.qsrinternational.com/resources/teachingmaterials/teaching_materials.htm.
There is also a Teachers' Handbook - you can buy a spiffy version from the website or email [log in to unmask] for a free pdf version.
And the second conference on Teaching Qualitative Methods with QSR Software Tools is now scheduled for April 5-8, 2005 at the Friedrick Center, University of Wisconsin -Madison. The format will be similar to the first event, with both a two day working conference and and two days of tutorials. There are other resources on their website at http://www.wcer.wisc.edu/tqm/. And the papers from the first were published in a special issue of the Qualitative Research Journal and are free online at http://www.latrobe.edu.au/aqr/.

> quantitative research methods or that lack sufficient staff
> trained in qualitative research methods. Yet the QAA
> benchmarks state that psychology graduates should be able to
> analyse data using both quantitative and qualitative methods
> and, in practice, students often opt for project work that
> where qualitative research methods would be appropriate.
