In conjunction with faculty at Memorial University and Georgia State University, this message is a second announcement for a globally-accessible, eight-hour, academic, live, synchronous, 'hands on,' interactive, audio- and video-supported online workshop on covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) using the open source R system for statistical computing on March 26-27 @ 12 Noon - 4PM EST (GMT-5). The workshop combines 'how-to' instruction on CB-SEM techniques at both the introductory and more advanced levels with numerous live, 'hands on' exercises and associated data sets. Faculty and students are invited to attend. No travel is necessary to participate.
The presenter is Joerg Evermann, an associate professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's Canada. Dr. Evermann has presented similar workshops and relevant papers at the ACIS, AMCIS and ICIS International conferences, as well as published in numerous academic journals.
The registration fee for faculty/practitioners is $250 USD and for students $175 USD (using the discount code 'student4' when registering).
