Brief description of training

Introduction: Learn how to leverage ATLAS.ti to facilitate your qualitative research! During this training, you will get to know all stages of using ATLAS.ti, from creating a project and analyzing different types of data to obtaining conclusions and exporting different types of results. This course teaches the basic functions of ATLAS.ti for Windows/Mac, as well as the model-based data analysis framework, emphasizing the description of the participant’s approach, the generation of relationships between data units, and the interpretation process.

Methodology: The course contents will be taught through a live online discussion of the various aspects of using ATLAS.ti. Participants can interact in real time with the instructor to ask questions (using the camera and microphone of the computer and/or by writing in the chat). Each class will also have brief intervals for participants to practice applying the different contents being discussed. The instructor will provide a project with which participants can practice using ATLAS.ti. Following each class, participants will receive the class slides and a practical exercise where they can spend more time practicing with their own research project. In addition to this, each participant will receive an official ATLAS.ti certificate.

Learning objectives: 1) Participants will learn the methodological principles of ATLAS.ti, 2) Participants will learn the fundamental functions and procedures of ATLAS.ti, and 3) Participants will learn how to use ATLAS.ti in data analysis with a focus on data integration, organization, and constant documentation of the research process.
