Savvy Researcher - Introduction to MAXQDA

MAXQDA is a robust software for analyzing qualitative data, including text, media, and survey data. MAXQDA is available for free to all campus users via Illinois Computes. This workshop is the first in a three-part series on using MAXQDA for analyzing qualitative data and does not assume any previous knowledge of MAXQDA. You may find it helpful to use the materials from the Planning Qualitative 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.
