Abstract

Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software packages can support the art and craft of qualitative research well beyond the analysis of data. This session will use ATLAS.ti to illustrate how software can be useful across the entire research process. As not everyone has access to commercial software, we will also introduce free digital tools that can be used and engage the audience in a discussion around the affordances and constraints of such tools in our research work. To learn more about their book, Digital Tools for Qualitative Research, please visit its web page.
