Webinar: ATLAS.ti Introductory Course and Individual Counselling

Learn how to make the most of using ATLAS.ti, a software for qualitative data analysis. This course not only teaches the basics of using the software but also provides guidance to envision the entire research project including personal consultation for the participants.

Goals

In this workshop we will learn to use ATLAS.ti during the different stages of the research process, from importing and exploring data to retrieving results. The workshop aims to give an overview to prepare participants for working autonomously with the software for academic research projects.

Content
