ATLAS.ti at the 10th Annual International Technology, Education and Development Conference
In early March, the ATLAS.ti team was in Valencia, Spain, for the 10th Annual International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED2016). Many researchers, professors, and students came by the ATLAS.ti exhibit, ranging from ATLAS.ti users to those who had never heard of the software. People showed interest in learning about the software and were especially keen on the free demo and Android/iPad versions of ATLAS.ti. The conference was an overall success, and we are grateful for the opportunity to have met people from so many different parts of the world-over 80 countries were represented! The winner of the ATLAS.ti raffle was Ajda Osijo. Ajda is an English language instructor currently working in Dubai and completing her doctoral studies. She was born in Bulgaria, raised in Turkey, and is passionate about integrating technology in educational practice, along with the social constructivist approach to teaching and conversational analysis. Congratulations Ajda! ATLAS.ti workshop in FLACSO Argentina
