This is the second part of a two-part workshop series on Atlas.ti, a qualitative data analysis software product. This workshop is a hands-on exploration of Atlas.ti for beginners. Participants will learn basic navigational skills along with some tips for using the software with their own research projects.

Due to the interactive nature of the workshop, enrollment will be limited. Two sessions of the same workshop will be offered on the same day – enrollment will be capped at a maximum of 15 participants per workshop.

There are 3 steps for signing up and preparing for the workshop.

1. Sign-up for one of the two workshop sessions by emailing Yuki at katoy@uci.edu. Please specify which session you are signing up for. If you’re flexible with your schedule, please tells us “no time preference” or “prefer session A but could also do B”. Space will be filled on a first come, first served basis and you will receive an email confirmation.

2. Download the demo version from Atlas.ti website onto a laptop. To download, visit http://www.atlasti.com/demo.php. (Note: The demo version does not have expiration date, but Atlas.ti only works with PCs. If you have a Mac, you could borrow a friend’s laptop or try creating a partition to install Windows).

3. Bring a laptop with the Atlas.ti demo downloaded to the workshop. It is not required that you bring your own laptop – you may want to share with a colleague. However it is strongly recommended that you bring your own laptop to receive the most benefit from the workshop. A demo Hermeneutic Unit with data files will be provided, so you do not need to bring your own data to the workshop.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Yuki (katoy@uci.edu) or Danielle (drudes@uci.edu).

Biography

John Seely Brown is currently one of UCI’s Chancellor’s Distinguished Fellows, and a visiting scholar at USC in the Annenberg Center for Communication. Prior to these appointments he was the Chief Scientist of Xerox Corporation and the director of its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) — a position he held for nearly two decades. While head of PARC, Brown expanded the role of corporate research to include such topics as organizational learning, knowledge management, complex adaptive systems, ethnographic studies of the workscape and nano technology. He was a cofounder of the Institute for Research on Learning (IRL). His personal research interests include the impact of globalization on business, the management of radical innovation, digital culture, ubiquitous computing and organizational and individual learning.

John, or as he is often called-JSB- is a member of the National Academy of Education and a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and of AAAS and a Trustee of Brown University and the MacArthur Foundation.  He serves on numerous public boards (Amazon, Corning, Varian Medical Systems and Polycom) and private boards of directors. He has published over 100 papers in scientific journals and was awarded the Harvard Business Review’s 1991 McKinsey Award for his article, “Research that Reinvents the Corporation” and again in 2002 for his article “Your Next IT Strategy.  In 2004 he was inducted into the Industry Hall of Fame.

With Paul Duguid he co-authored the acclaimed book The Social Life of Information (HBS Press, 2000) that has been translated into 9 languages with a second addition in April 2002.  His most recent book with John Hagel – The Only Sustainable Edge – is about new forms of collaborative innovation. It also provides a novel framework for understanding what is really happening in off-shoring in India and China and how each are inventing powerful new ways to innovate, learn and accelerate capability building.

JSB received a BA from Brown University in 1962 in mathematics and physics and a PhD from University of Michigan in 1970 in computer and communication sciences.
