You will learn what codes are, explore different approaches to coding qualitative data, and develop the skills to organize and interpret data systematically, laying the groundwork for identifying patterns, developing themes, and generating meaningful research insights.

This module focuses on the practical process of coding qualitative data. You will learn how to identify meaningful information within your data, apply coding techniques to organize and interpret findings, and develop codes that capture important patterns and relationships, providing the foundation for deeper qualitative analysis and theme development.

This module focuses on the next stage of qualitative data analysis: developing categories from codes. You will learn how to review and organize related codes into meaningful categories, helping you identify broader patterns within your data and build a strong foundation for theme development and interpretation.
