Qualitative content analysis: A paradigm shift from manual coding to computer-assisted coding using ATLAS.ti

This case discusses the paradigm shift and digital wisdom (i.e. the ability to use digital technology to complement existing abilities and decision making) that were manifested during a content analysis workshop given by the authors in the Middle East in the spring of 2015. Most of the participants...
