Savvy Researcher: Introduction to MAXQDA

MAXQDA is a robust software for analyzing qualitative data, including text, media, and survey data. The software is free for all University of Illinois users via a license provided by Illinois Computes. 

This workshops does not assume any previous knowledge of MAXQDA. You may find it helpful to use the materials from the Planning Qualitative Data Analysis workshop to think about strategies relevant to your own research project. 

By the end of this workshop, we hope you'll be able to:
1) Access the Illinois license for MAXQDA
2) Create a new project file
3) Add text, survey, and media data to your project file.
4) Organize data files for analytic purposes.
5) Begin building a coding system in MAXQDA
6) Apply codes to data in your project file.

See directions for installing MAXQDA and using the Illinois license.
