Four Basic Forms of Qualitative Data
Interviews/ Focus Groups(ranges from one-to-one, in-person interaction to group, web-based interactions)Observations(ranges from non-participant to participant)Documents(ranges from private to public)Audio-visual materials(ranges from photographs to participant-created artifacts)Others include online text-based chats, weblogs, social media, images and sounds on websites, instant messaging, etc.(Creswell, 2018)
Summer Institute 2018, 13 - 15 July 2018
Organizing QualitativeData for Analysis
Important to begin bypreparing and organizing the datacollected (which will be voluminous!)Includes transcribing interview/ focus group notesOrganizing field notes from observationsEnsuring all documents to be used in the analysis are present and availableUse digital files/ make copiesHave a consistent file-naming system to so that individual audio files or transcripts are easy to locate later onIf doing manual data analysis, then maintain a searchable spreadsheet by:form of data collectedDate/ time collectedlocationparticipant/ document(Creswell & Poth, 2018)

Data conversation and storage
Converting recordings of interviews to transcripts and saving them as word documentsDigital representations of audio-visual materials – jpeg or pdf filesCAQDAS (Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software) can also help managing data files
