This course presupposes a basic understanding of qualitative and mixed-methods research methodology. This course is primarily about how NVivo can be used within these methodologies. It is not a course in the methodologies themselves. A bibliography is provided here with links to resources that students may find useful.
Be prepared: be ready and able to be involve yourself in learning.
Engage: actively participate in the community and course materials.
Think critically: analyse materials presented to form reasonable judgements.
Respect others: listen to and be considerate of others; practice gratitude.
If you are attending one of our Zoom workshops, please make sure that you have downloaded Zoom.
This module consists of four sections. If you are participating in an online zoom workshop, each section will take around 10 minutes, with 20 minutes at the end of the workshop for unstructured questions.
If you are not attending an online workshop, then you are encouraged to move through the sections at your own pace.
At the end of each section is a challenge. This challenge aims to test your learning, and to provide a practical problem that you may need to solve outside of this learning environment in your own research.
This is a self-assessed module. At the end of the module, students will be asked to provide feedback. Whilst this feedback is immensely valuable to the community coordinator, it is also the means by which students assess their own learning. Students are encouraged to reflect on the learning objectives, and to repeat the module if necessary.
