1-day NVivo Advanced Training Workshop – Friday, 8th December 2016
Led by Dr. Christina Silver
This workshop is flexibly structured to discuss common challenges of working with NVivo 11 and
aims to enable participants to move on with their analysis. It is designed for researchers who have previously attended an introductory training workshop in NVivo and/or who have been using the software for a real project for some time.
Participants working with any version or edition of NVivo can attend this course. 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 as required. Participants bring copies of their own NVivo projects to work with during the day and there will be an opportunity
for each participant to talk with the Tutor about their own work. 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.
