As the educational and research landscape begins to evolve toward more hybrid learning environments, instructors and researchers must adopt innovative tools to manage complex qualitative data. This research talk explores how different AI platforms can streamline data organization, coding, and analysis, specifically for qualitative data related to Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) research. Aligned with the theme "Preparing for a Hybrid Future," the session demonstrates practical strategies for integrating AI into qualitative research, enhancing interprofessional collaboration in hybrid settings. Participants will engage in live demonstrations of AI-driven tools, explore differences in the use of two different platforms, and participate in interactive audience polling to identify common challenges in managing qualitative data. By the session’s conclusion, attendees will be able to: (1) explain the potential use of AI for qualitative research, (2) discuss potential barriers to
