| Abstract: Using NVivo can increase an evaluator's ability to meet the "value anchors" of our profession, the Guiding Principles and Program Evaluation Standards. By bolstering our technical capacity, NVivo offers value to both process and product in qualitative inquiry, allowing evaluators the opportunity to be fully transparent in our work. This didactic session will offer useful information for maximizing the utility of NVivo to conduct even the most straightforward qualitative data analysis. The presenters will cover the software fundamentals for beginner and intermediate users, highlighting the new features of NVivo 9. This session will demonstrate how to organize and manage data, incorporate spreadsheets into a project, code and query data in multiple ways, and visualize patterns and connections in the data. The session is intended to build the working knowledge of attendees to use NVivo in their everyday work and to demonstrate the value of computer-assisted qualitative data analysis. |
