  • 1.  CARMA Research Methods Live and Recorded Webcast Lectures-Advanced Registration Deadline Friday September 7

    Posted 09-04-2007 13:21

    Deadline for Advanced Registration is this Friday, September 7.  With apologies for cross-listings!
    ******************

    Greetings from the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA), a non-profit unit of the School of Business at Virginia Commonwealth University.  We hope your summer has gone well as the new academic year arrives.  We are very excited to announce that registration is open for your school to join the 2007-2008 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program.  This program can give faculty and students at your school access via the internet to the latest developments in research methods used in organizational and social science disciplines, as well as a 50% discount on CARMA Short Courses offered at Virginia Commonwealth University in May.  We had over 120 universities from throughout the world in our Consortium Program this past year, and over the past three years faculty or students from over 200 universities from over 25 countries participated in CARMA events either live or via the internet.

    You can find a list of our presenters for the 2007-2008 Consortium Webcast Program, their topics, and tentative dates for their talks in the information below.  As with last year, faculty and students from Consortium Schools will have access to live and recorded versions of these 10 lectures, as well as 26 lectures in our Video Library (a list of lectures in our Video Library is also included below).  Further, you may be interested to know that over the past three years there have been over 4000 requests to view the recorded lectures in our Video Library.  

    Advanced Registration for our Consortium Webcast Program will be open until Friday, September 7, and during this time your school can join for the same price as last year, $750.  After September 7, the Registration Fee will be $900.  Let me emphasize that our Consortium Webcast Program involves a university or institutional membership, and it is acceptable for different departments or schools at a given institution to pool resources in paying a single registration fee.  And, once a university/institution joins our Consortium Webcast Program, all faculty and students can view the live and recorded lectures, with no additional fees required of these viewers.  Finally, we have learned that several of our Consortium member schools use these lectures as part of their research methods and statistics courses.

    Please let us know if you have any questions, and additional information about CARMA can be found on our website. We hope your school will be joining the 2007-2008 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program, and please share this email with others at your school who may be interested.

    Thanks and best wishes.  Larry

    University Professor of Management


    2007-2008 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program

    The main purpose of this program is to allow faculty and students the opportunity to hear the latest methodological developments relevant to their research.  For many faculty and students, learning about research methods is challenging, and watching and listening to an expert who can present current information in an understandable form is a valuable learning aid.  Our Webcasts emphasize the substantive application of methodological developments and can supplement the education that occurs in traditional courses.  Membership in the CARMA Consortium Webcast Program occurs at the institutional level, and viewing the live Webcasts as a group can be an important community building activity for department faculty and/or graduate students.

    The 2007-2008 Consortium Webcast Program will include 10 one-hour lectures on advanced topics delivered live (with video and audio components) by leading methodological scholars from organizational studies (see list below). The live Webcasts are available for group viewing by an unlimited number of participants from each member institution.  Also, the Webcast Program will allow viewers to ask questions, will be supported with relevant PowerPoint slides and background references, and will make available recorded versions of each lecture for unlimited individual later viewing throughout the year.  Membership will also allow unlimited individual viewing of 26 additional recorded lectures from the CARMA Video Library (see full list below).
