In cooperation with University of Hamburg and Radboud University, we are conducting four live, interactive, synchronous online structural equation modeling (SEM) workshops (with complete post-workshop recordings provided) in August and September:
(1) Introductory PLS path modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS (August 2-3 @ 11AM-3PM ET and Aug 20-21 @ 6PM-10PM ET). Registration fees are: $295 USD faculty/practitioner; $225 full time students (using registration discount code 'student6'):
There is an introductory SmartPLS workshop on August 2 and 3, 2010, from 11AM until 3PM. The timing of this workshop is meant to be convenient for participants in North and South America and in Europe: https://www.regonline.com/smartpls-aug-2-3-2010
There is also an introductory SmartPLS workshop on August 20 and 21, 2010, from 6PM until 10PM ET. The timing of this workshop is meant to be convenient for participants in the Pacific Rim countries, including Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore and the rest of Malaysia: https://www.regonline.com/smartpls-aug-20-21-2010

(2) Intermediate PLS path modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS (September 10-11 @ 12 Noon-4PM ET and Sept 17-18 @ 6PM-10PM ET). [EARLY REGISTRATION ENDS JULY 31]. The early registration fees (through July 31) are $250 USD faculty/practitioner (using registration discount code 'early' through July 31), and $175 full time students (using discount code 'earlystudent' through July 31).
There is an Intermediate PLS Path Modeling workshop on September 10 and 11, 2010, from 12 Noon until 4PM ET. The timing of this workshop is meant to be convenient for participants in North and South America and in Europe: https://www.regonline.com/pls-sept-10-11-2010
There is also an Intermediate PLS Path Modeling workshop on September 17 and 18, 2010, from 6PM until 10PM ET.

Each of the four live, interactive, synchronous workshops are conducted on two consecutive days for four hours each day. The workshops are taught using the award-winning Elluminate Live ! electronic classroom which is free to use for participants. You simply point your browser to the URL for the electronic classroom.
All workshops present instructional material and demonstrate exercises (with provided data sets) appropriate for the beginner and intermediate PLS Path Modeling (SEM) users, respectively. Participants receive: (1) live, synchronous, online, interactive participation in the workshop; (2) all workshop slides, exercises and data sets; (3) relevant literature and citations; (4) SmartPLS software; and (5) complete, high-fidelity audio- and video- Internet-based recordings of the workshop, when completed, for unlimited, repeated reviews of the workshop for three months following each workshop.
These workshops are being produced in cooperation with faculty from multiple universities. In addition, workshop revenues are returned to the academic institutions and to the SmartPLS software development team to keep SmartPLS free to use for academics.
