Savvy Researcher: MAXQDA for Analyzing Survey Data

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. 

MAXQDA can be used for analyzing survey data

This workshop assumes basic knowledge of MAXQDA including importing data files, creating codes, and applying codes to text data. If you are new to MAXQDA, you may want to view the Introduction to MAXQDA materials before this workshop. 

By the end of this workshop, we hope you'll be able to:
1) Import survey data from a spreadsheet into a MAXQDA project
2) Set up survey questions as codable data, variables, or both
3) Use manual and automatic coding tools to code text data in survey responses
4) Compare coded qualitative data across variables within the survey population. 

See directions for installing MAXQDA and using the Illinois license.
