QUIC CAQDAS Networking Project n n Current resources and training under RDI Future funding and expansion as a node of the NCRM (from Sept 2008) ¨ ‘QUALITATIVE INNOVATIONS IN CAQDAS’(QUIC) 2 Strands Methodological Innovations in Computational Support n Training and Capacity Building n

CAQDAS Networking Project Types of training events…. . n Seminars : ¨ Software Planning seminars - comparative overviews of software ¨ Software Development seminars – cutting edge developments, new software ¨ Methodology and Software seminars – making the link between methodology and CAQDAS ¨ ‘Users’ projects’ seminars – real-life experience with software and methods ALL ‘SEMINAR’ EVENTS are FREE–subsidised by fees from hands-on workshops…. .

QUIC CAQDAS Types of training events…. . n Hands-on workshops ¨ 1 -day software specific workshops designed to get researchers started and to provide sense of long term direction n NEW with NCRM funding in 2009 ¨ 2 -day CAQDAS workshops… providing a second day for participants to use own data Current range of software supported ATLAS. ti, MAXqda, NVivo
