How to make the most of your qualitative data with NVIVO

Abstract: When analyzing qualitative data, evaluators face the challenge of being faithful to established indicators while remaining responsive to emerging themes as well as changes in the information needs of our clients over time. In this webinar, participants will learn how to harness the power of NVIVO to respond to these challenges and get the information they need to respond to client needs. The presentation will demonstrate a flexible theme-based coding approach to sort and analyze interview data using NVIVO. Please note that this webinar is a summarized version of a CES conference workshop. The presenters will briefly cover how to build a flexible and efficient node hierarchy, combine multiple thematic/descriptive nodes and use query functions to quickly find and analyze content.
