Qualitative Data Analysis using QDA Miner Course

INTRODUCTION

QDA Miner is a useful tool for qualitative data analysis of interview or focus group transcripts, legal documents, journal articles, speeches, even entire books, as well as drawings, photographs, paintings, and other types of visual documents. QDA Miner is an easy-to-use qualitative data analysis software package for coding, annotating, retrieving and analyzing small and large collections of documents and images. Its seamless integration with SimStat, a statistical data analysis tool, and WordStat, a quantitative content analysis and text mining software, gives you unprecedented flexibility for analyzing text and relating its content to structured information including numerical and categorical data.
