This course provides strategic understanding and applied skills in planning, conducting, and reporting the process of qualitative data analysis (QDA) in a research project. No prerequisite knowledge of qualitative analysis or NVivo, but basic knowledge of qualitative research necessary.Īre you planning to conduct interviews or focus groups for your data collection, or perhaps do participant observation during events or meetings? Or will you be collecting policy papers, press articles, or Internet data from blogs, Facebook or Twitter? If you do any of the above, you will soon or later have to face the pile of data you collected and analyse them.
