Workshop: Using Atlas, TI for Qualitative Researchers

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

This workshop will conceptually and practically introduce participants to the Atlas.ti before or have only limited experience with the software. Researchers who have some familiarity with Atlas.ti are also welcome to attend to refresh, to participate in the open discussion and/or share tips and advice. The workshop will also invite attendees to practice and play with the software on their personal laptops (optional). This involves some hands-on practice with the most basic features of Atlas.ti. Workshop participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop to the workshop with the free trial version of Atlas.ti already downloaded (accessible at http://atlasti.com.free-trial-version/). Please note that because the Atlas for Mac program is significantly limited at this time, we will do our work using the PC format. So, participants with a Mac are encouraged to borrow a PC and/or use conversion software on their Mac to be ready to use the PC version of Atlas during the workshop. Workshop participants without a laptop will be partnered with others who have laptops. Using sample data participants will gain knowledge of and practice with some of Atlas' key coding features. We will also discuss some key considerations for using Atlas for team projects.
