--Participants who complete my course can receive a 20% discount code to purchase any MAXQDA license within 4 weeks after the course, upon request.
Introduction
MAXQDA is a powerful qualitative data analysis software program used by researchers in education, government, NGOs and the commercial sector worldwide. In this workshop, we will learn the intermediate/advanced coding functions of the software. Learning will be interactive and hands-on with sufficient time for participants to practice. Participants can walk out the (virtual) classroom with the skills and knowledge to become a coding analysis expert!
Prerequisite: Knowledge of basic coding techniques using MAXQDA; prior experience with qualitative data analysis

Prerequisite: Knowledge of basic coding techniques using MAXQDA; prior experience with qualitative data analysis
Learning objectives
- To use the intermediate/advanced coding and associated data analysis functions in MAXQDA;
- To reflect on methodological decisions around coding (i.e. why should I) beyond technical skills (i.e. how do I);
- To learn in an interactive online learning environment and be able to use MAXQDA more fully in your own projects right after the class.

Course Outline
I. Fine-tuning your coding (40 minutes)
a. Technical skills:
i. Revision of inductive vs. deductive codes/coding
ii. What is the open coding mode?
iii. Resize coded segments
iv. Replace coded segments
v. Merge 2 codes? Merge 3 or more codes?
vi. Divide a code into subcodes
vii. What are code favourites?
viii. What is a code cloud?
b. Common methodological considerations:
i. How many codes should a project have? At the beginning? When finished?
ii. Should I code into a parent code?
iii. Should I have the same subcodes for multiple codes?
iv. How many levels of subcodes should a project have?
v. Should I use colours for my codes? How are code colours related to visual tools?
vi. How do the numbers next to each code in the Code System help with your analysis?
vii. How much content do I cover for a coded segment?
II. Code hierarchy 2.0 (10 minutes)
i. How to build a code hierarchy?
