Brief description of training
Introduction: Learn how to harness the power of ATLAS.ti to facilitate your qualitative research! This training will take you through all the steps of using ATLAS.ti, from setting up a project and analyzing different kinds of data to retrieving findings and exporting different kinds of outputs. This course teaches the main functions of ATLAS.ti Windows/Mac as well as a model-driven data analysis system with an emphasis on the description of the participant’s point of view, the generation of relationships between data units, and the interpretation process.
Methodology: The course contents will be taught through a live online discussion of the various aspects of using ATLAS.ti. Participants can interact in real time with the instructor to ask questions (using the camera and microphone of the computer and/or by writing in the chat). Each class will also have brief intervals for participants to practice applying the different contents being discussed. The instructor will provide a project with which participants can practice using ATLAS.ti. Following each class, participants will receive the class slides and a practical exercise where they can spend more time practicing with their own research project. In addition to this, each participant will receive an official ATLAS.ti certificate.
Learning objectives: 1) Participants will learn the methodological principles of ATLAS.ti, 2) Participants will learn the fundamental functions and procedures of ATLAS.ti, and 3) Participants will learn how to use ATLAS.ti in data analysis with a focus on data integration, organization, and constant documentation of the research process.
