23 staff and students from UniSA attended the first NVivo workshop put on by CAGS. These included academics from School of Commerce, School of Management, School of Communication and School of Social Work and Social Policy

Feed back from participants:

“The relaxed feel of the workshop meant participants felt free to ask questions as they came up. This was extremely valuable as questions were answered as they came up, in context.”

“The hands on workshop was very helpful. Follow workshops would be very useful”

“The most valuable aspect of the workshop for me was that the presenter was able to discuss her own practical experience with NVivo, what worked well and what suited individual styles.”

“It was a good introduction, pitched appropriately for the audience. I appreciated the opportunity to “walk through the different parts of the interface and learn the programs capabilities.”

Comments from participants:

“Seldom do researchers get the opportunity to get two Professors with expertise in qualitative research to talk about qualitative research methods, and in such detail. It was a wonderful event! I enjoyed it so much. The colloquium clarified many issues for me, and for us, I would say, because other scholars were also speaking very highly of your presentations !” (Jenny Chen, Postgraduate Scholar, UniSA).

“I believe that this Qualitative Colloquium is a must for all “Qual” academics & PhD students. Both presenters Lee and Deryl helped me understand the who, what, where, why and how to approach research in a qualitative way. It was delivered in a clear and friendly environment (loved the different stories of the “Three Pigs”). Their recommended readings will be valuable in helping me in my research. The workshops/forums were very interactive, and helped me appreciate how one can learn a lot from other researchers’ constructive criticism about one’s work.” (Nicole Moschakis, Postgraduate Scholar, Business School, University of Adelaide).
