Description

One of the considerations in adopting and open-source free program is usability and whether it has the same essential features as popular commercial tools. This workshop will look at QualCoder and compare it with these commercial programs on ten dimensions (1) installation and customization; (2) supported files/data types; (3) workspace, project, file and data management; (4) cases and files classification; (5) memos, annotations and journals; (6) coding (manual, auto and AI assisted); (7) visualization; (8) analysis, querying and reporting; (0) collaboration; and (10) converting to/from other qualitative data analysis tools.

Join us to explore the possibilities of QualCoder, a free, open-source qualitative data analysis (QDA) software that can help save time and support many stages of qualitative research.

Van Tran is currently the Public Health and Social Sciences Librarian at Temple University.
