Training on Qualitative Data Management and Analysis using Atlas.ti Course

THIS COURSE IS SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WORKING IN:

Statistician, analyst, or a budding data scientist and beginners who want to learn how to analyze data  and research on data using Atlas.ti

Introduction

The aim of this workshop is to enable you to work with ATLAS.ti tools that go beyond simple code and retrieve. A prerequisite for this is a well-structured project and coding system. Therefore, we first look at some examples of how to best set-up a project based on the type of data used. Then we discuss the Do’s and Don’ts of Coding. With this preparation and background, you learn about Co-occurrence Analysis, Boolean Analysis, across and within case-comparisons using the Code-Document Table and the query tool. Further you will be introduced to smart codes and global filters. In the final session you learn about the analytic powers of networks and how to incorporate everything you have done in ATLAS.ti into a report.
