Intended learning outcomes | By completing the course, participants should acquire the skills to use NVivo's (later versions) key functions in the analysis of their own research material. They should also be able to apply their new knowledge of NVivo's strengths and limitations in relation to various research questions, qualitative methodologies and their underlying epistemological approaches. |
Contents of the course | No prior experience of NVivo is required, but participants are expected have computer skills beyond the most rudimentary and to be able to independently acquire basic abilities in a new software environment. Introductory lecture on the underlying logic of NVivo and its epistemological origin(s), introduction to the software environment, examples of different approaches to coding of qualitative data, as well as illustrations of advanced applications of NVivo. Workshop with designated tasks to illustrate possibilities, advantages as well as limitations and drawbacks with using NVivo.

An examination seminar with presentation of the participants NVivo project. The course does not include any IT-support. |
Teaching and learning activities | The course comprises a total of two weeks of full-time study in the form of lecture, workshop, individual tutoring and continuous individual work with participants own research material in NVivo. Some individual tutoring will also be given by email between course events. |
Compulsory elements | All course events are mandatory. One missed course event can be compensated with an additional individual task according to the teacher's instructions. Two missed course events means that the requirements for passing the course cannot be met. |
Examination | The course is examined with an individual task, presented orally at the final seminar and in writing in a pm according to the teacher's specifications. Participants should describe how they want to use the program in their own research, which research questions NVivo can help asking and answering, as well as the epistemological consequences of the described approach. Fulfilled mandatory course events are a prerequisite for passing the course. |
