CARMA Webcasts 2008-2009
Introduction
Webcasts on methods and statistical analysis useful in studying organizations, Sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis at Virginia Commonwealth University
ARC: Connections: ELMAR: Posting
Greetings from CARMA (Center for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Business), and we hope that the start of the new academic year is going well for you. This email contains information about one of our programs, through which we make recorded lectures available to all faculty and students (at no charge to them as individuals) from universities that join our program. Last year 129 universities from throughout the United States and abroad participated, and we already have over 119 member schools for the 2008-2009 program. If you think that the graduate students and/or faculty at your university would be interested in unlimited access to 46 hours of recorded and live lectures on research methods and statistical analysis delivered by methodologists that include editors of major organizational journals, this email is relevant to you. These lectures can be used as part of coursework assignments (like readings), as preparation for comprehensive examinations, or as part of a department or school colloquium series.
With this as an introduction, we would like to let you know or remind you (if you are already aware) that registration is open for your school to join the 2008-2009 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 2009 CARMA Short Courses offered at Virginia Commonwealth University in May.
You can find a list of our presenters for the 2008-2009 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 36 lectures in our Video Library (a list of lectures in our Video Library is also included below). Additional information about CARMA can be found on our website. http://www.carma.vcu.edu/, or you can email us at carma@vcu.edu.
I would like to encourage you to initiate discussions with your program, department, or school administrators, or your library administrators, about having your school join our program. Registration for our Consortium Webcast Program is $975 per school (with no fees for individual faculty or students).
Please let us know if you have any questions, and we hope your school will be joining the 2008-2009 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program.
Thanks and best wishes for a great year. Larry

2008-2009 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 2008-2009 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). It will also include a special CARMA 10th Year Celebration Webcast on September 12. 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 36 additional recorded lectures from the CARMA Video Library (see full list below).
