Qualitative researchers can choose among many different tools for analyzing data. In this workshop, we'll explore two free options: 1) Taguette and 2) QualCoder. Both tools are open-source and freely available. Taguette is an easy-to-use tool for coding text data and offers online collaboration for team-based projects. QualCoder's features are comparable to licensed software like NVivo or MAXQDA, including the ability to work with multimedia and survey data, to use variables, autmoatically code text data, and calcluate inter rater reliability. 

By the end of the workshop, we hope you'll be able to: 
1) Create a project in Taguette, including uploading text data, developing a code system, and applying codes to text data. 
2) Install QualCoder and create a project, including adding uploading data files, developing a code system, and applying codes to multiple types of data. 
3) Identify whether features of Taguette or QualCoder would be of use for your own research project. 

This workshop will be offered via Zoom and recorded for later viewing on the Qualitative Data Analysis research guide.  Anyone who registers for the in-person or online version of this workshop will receive an email with a link to the recording and slides. 

If you have specific questions you'd like to see addressed in the workshop, please indicate those on the registration form or contact Jess Hagman (jhagman@illinois.edu).
