Available Sessions:

Introduction to NVivo

Wednesday 5th November, 12:00 - 15:00, Location - Mary Seacole 1.05, University of Leicester

The aim of this workshop is to provide a practical introduction to the NVivo software. The workshop will suit those who are complete beginners and those who have looked at the software and tried to use it in a limited extent. The focus is on gaining confidence in setting up a project efficiently, managing and organising data, exploring and labelling data and interrogating and visualising data. The same sample data is used by everyone during the workshop to enable the group to focus on the same tasks at the same time.

Participants can bring their own data & specific questions about NVivo and the tutor will provide individual feedback & assistance.

You are welcome to bring your own laptop and your own data to the session but please make sure that you have NVivo installed prior to attending.

Please note: This is an NVivo for Windows session. Participants using the Mac version are welcome to attend but the course will cover the functions available for the Windows version, which are not all the same for the Mac version.
