There are many types of qualitative data to analyze beyond an interview transcript: observations, images, videos, social media, music, etc. Join qualitative methodologist, Dr. Veronica Richard, as she shares tips and strategies for managing multiple qualitative data sources and conducting three rounds of basic thematic analysis (initial coding, pattern coding, themeing). Analyzing qualitative data is essential for (1) refining future data collection to ensure you collect data aligned with your research questions and (2) writing up your findings. This webinar will help you turn an overwhelming process into a focused process. We guide you through the process of how to complete the various cycles of coding and identifying themes. We also help you manage your mindset to overcome limiting beliefs and gain confidence.
