    With apologies for cross-listings:
     
    Greetings from CARMA, the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis, a non-profit unit of the School of Business at Wayne State University.  We hope your academic year is off to a good start.  If you think that the graduate students and/or faculty at your university would be interested in unlimited access to recorded, and access to live lectures on research methods and statistical analysis, this email is for you.  The lectures are delivered by methodologists that include editors and editorial board members of major organizational journals and are offered through our CARMA Consortium Webcast Program.  

    What Does Membership in the CARMA Consortium Webcast Program Include? 
    • Unlimited access to 57 hours of recorded lectures in our Video Library, which is available to all faculty and students (at no charge to them as individuals); 
    • Access to 10 live lectures, which become part of our Video Library, throughout the academic year; and
    • A 50% discount on our Short Courses.

    How Can the CARMA Consortium Webcast Program Advance Faculty and Graduate Students' Research Methods Learning? 
    • Useful for research within a wide variety of disciplines, including management and other business-related disciplines, psychology, sociology, education, nursing, social work and public health among many other disciplines; 
    • Live webcasts as a doctoral program event (i.e. an electronic multimedia colloquium)
    • Excellent resource for faculty development to help faculty with their research; 
    • Use in class by instructors looking for a way to compliment their teaching syllabus interactively; 
    • Use by faculty to raise points of discussion and to engage students in class; 
    • Helps to promote the quality of research; 
    • Recognizes and supports various methodologies and approaches for researchers, doctoral students and faculty members; 
    • Videos can be used to clarify doubts, learn more about issues with certain types of methodologies and to introduce doctoral students to various types of quantitative and qualitative methodologies; 
    • Help doctoral students and faculty in their research and publications; and 
    • Great resource for distance learning programs!

    What Has CARMA's Impact Been So Far?
    • In 2009-2010, 161 universities from throughout the United States and abroad participated; 
    • More than 10,259 faculty and students from 57 countries are CARMA Website Users; 
    • More than 250 universities have participated in the CARMA Consortium Webcast Program since 2005;  
    • More than 2,253 faculty and students have made more than 16,987 requests to watch recordings of CARMA Webcast lectures since the fall of 2004; and 
    • More than 1,000 faculty and students from universities throughout the world have attended CARMA Short Courses at VCU since the summer of 2004.

    Registration for our 2010-2011 Webcast Consortium Program is open.  The Registration Fee for your university or organization to join the Program is $950, and there is no additional fees for individual faculty or students.  Additional information about CARMA and its programs can be found at the end of this email, as well as on our website, http://www.carma.wayne.edu.  I would like to encourage you to initiate discussions with your program, department, school administrators, and/or your library administrators, about having your university register for our Program.  

    If you are from a university or organization outside the United States and Canada, you may be interested in our International Video Library Program, which allows access to recorded lectures but does not include the live webcasts.  Information on this program is also on our website.

    Below is a list of our schedule for this academic year, and we are very excited about the outstanding group of presenters we have scheduled.

    What Is CARMA?
    The Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) is a non-profit unit of the School of Business at Wayne State University, located in Detroit, Michigan. CARMA was established in 1997 by Dr. Larry J. Williams, former Chairperson of the Research Methods Division of the Academy of Management and Founding Editor of Organizational Research Methods.

    What Is the Purpose of the 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 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.

    We provide training on research methods and data analysis that can benefit the doctoral students and faculty at your institution.  This training includes extensive topics in quantitative and qualitative methods. Through our Program, faculty and students from participating universities have access to live Webcasts and an extensive Video Library that address a wide range of topics in research methods used in organizational and social science disciplines.  

    The 2010-2011 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. 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 be made available in our Video Library for unlimited individual viewing throughout the year.  Below, please see the complete listing by topic of the 57 videos in our library, to which the 10 live webcasts will be added this year.  

    We hope the faculty and students at your school will be interested in our Program planned for the upcoming year.  Please forward this email to the faculty and doctoral students in your program so they can learn about the programs CARMA is hosting in the upcoming weeks.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We hope to hear from you soon, and thanks in advance for sharing this email with colleagues at your school!

    Sincerely,

    Dr. Larry J. Williams, CARMA Director, Professor of Management
