Attendance is required as the course will not be recorded.Nesting can arise from hierarchical data structures (e.g.\, siblings nested within family; patients nested within therapist)\, longitudinal data structures (repeated measures nested within individual)\, or both (repeated measures nested within patient and patient nested within therapist).It is well known that the analysis of nested data structures using traditional general linear models (e.g.\, ANOVA or regression) is flawed\, oftentimes substantially so: Tests of significance are likely biased and within- and between-group effects are confounded with one another. All of these limitations can be addressed within the multilevel model.In this workshop\, we provide an introduction to the application of multilevel models with nested data\, including software implementation in SAS\, SPSS and Stata. \nRegistration and a refundable deposit for student is required to receive Zoom link. Deposit will be refunded upon attendance of course. \nTo learn more and register\, click HERE. \n\n\n\n From Wednesday\, September 9\, 2026 9:00 AM\n to Friday\, September 11\, 2026 3:00 PM EDT\n at Online.

Attendance for both days is required – as a reminder\, we do not record our short courses. \nQualtrics is a powerful browser-based web-survey tool. It is available to UNC Chapel Hill faculty\, staff\, and students\, for UNC-related projects. Qualtrics allows users to build complex surveys\, distribute them\, and analyze the responses all from one place. \nIn this course\, we will cover basic Qualtrics functions beginning with an overview of survey options and settings\, followed by hands-on practice programming and distributing a survey and downloading results. We will program some of the most common question and response types\, customize requirements and validation\, and add display logic\, skip logic\, and basic branch logic in the “survey flow”. We will then create and upload a contact list and discuss advantages and disadvantages of distributing the survey with a single reusable link vs. the survey mailer.  Finally\, we will cover a basic overview of the Data & Analysis tab for viewing\, editing\, and exporting raw data into various formats including .csv\, .tsv\, .excel\, and .spss. Other topics include project sharing/ collaboration\, Groups and Libraries\, and preventing fraudulent responses and bot activity. \nRegistration and a refundable deposit for students is required to receive Zoom link.

We will start by acknowledging inherent risks and ethical dilemmas posed by the development of large language models and how generative AI is challenging the essence of what it means to do qualitative work (Paulus & Marone\, 2025; Paulus\, Lester & Davis\, 2025). We will learn how to distinguish between methodological strategies and technological tactics\, i.e. why researchers must first know how they want to work with their data before choosing the best tools to do so (Woolf & Silver\, 2018). We will then discuss the current ‘state of play’ regarding the various genres of AI-assist technologies available to qualitative researchers and how to select the most appropriate platform. We will then compare and contrast several AI-assist platforms for managing and analyzing qualitative data. Finally\, we will discuss best practices for how to report the use of AI in research studies (Lester & Paulus\, forthcoming) and how to reflexively consider the consequences of doing so. Sample interview data will be used for the practice exercises. Workshop time will alternative between short lectures and demonstrations\, small group discussions\, practical hands-on activities\, and application of principles learned to the participants’ own research studies and data. \nRegistration and a refundable deposit for students is required to receive Zoom link. Deposit will be refunded upon attendance of course. \nTo learn more and register\, click HERE. \n\n\n\n From Thursday\, September 17\, 2026 9:00 AM\n to 3:00 PM EDT\n at Online.
