DESCRIPTION
On Thursday, Khulisa staff received training on how to better use the qualitative data analysis and research software, ATLAS ti from post-graduate research intern, Catherine Rogers. Catherine provided several hands-on tips and techniques, including how to manually code research images - one of the many functionalities of the software tool.

INTRODUCTION
Experiences
Have you coded transcripts without software?
Have you used Atlas-ti before?
When did you use it?
Has anyone had ATLAS-TI training?

What is Atlas-ti?
Qualitative Coding
• Manual
• Auto
Coding of
• Documents (word and PDF) – interview transcripts, policy documents
• Photographs – observations
• Graphics – comparing Theories of Change
What is Atlas-ti?
Presentation of Data (outputs)
• Lists
• Frequencies
• Networks
When to use the program:
Literature Reviews
Document Review Analysis
Analysing interviews
Analysing photographed observations

Choosing themes & codes
What information do I need to answer these research questions? (Themes)
Create themes you wish to search for and codes that represent those themes
Merge codes or create families of codes to create categories
Choosing themes & codes
Code for MEANING
• eg: Psychosocial benefits, Positive Collaboration
Keep it SIMPLE
• few useful codes vs many codes
Limitations
Auto-coding finds words and not meaning (codes questions in interviews)
It organises data but does not analyse it
Frequency output accuracy (be careful when coding)
