Dr Grant Blank Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, UK

Professor Nigel Fielding CAQDAS Networking Project, University of Surrey, UK

1.       The role of methods teaching in learning to use qualitative software

2.       Software supported visual analysis

3.       Big data, social media analysis, text mining

4.       Software supported mixing of methods

5.       Collaborative working in the context of qualitative technology

6.       Writing and representing qualitative findings

 

Abstracts must:

–          Not exceed 300 words

–          Have a clear title and state which conference theme they fit into

Please note we will NOT be accepting oral papers describing the results of research undertaken using qualitative software. The focus is on the innovative use of software itself – i.e. for particular methodological approaches, types of data, project dynamics or representing findings; on ways in which CAQDAS packages are being taught; implications arising from developments in the field; or limitations of CAQDAS tools for particular approaches.
