NVivo Training this Thursday

If qualitiative data are a part of your research at YSJ, you might be interested in using NVivo software. ILS will be holding an Introduction to NVivo workshop this Thursday 04/10 at 10:00 on the ground floor of Fountains.

YSJ's Academic Technologies Trainer leads workshops throughout the year that might be of interest to researchers; the full schedule of events can be found here
