In cooperation with University of Hamburg and Radboud University, we are conducting two live, interactive, synchronous online structural equation modeling (SEM) workshops in October. Complete post-workshop recordings are provided to all participants.

This is the only notice for these online workshops that will appear on this listserv. There will be no additional notification until courses beyond the September-October period are announced.

There is a detailed PDF agenda (http://andyswebtools.com/uploads/3616/SmartPLS-workshop.pdf) for these Introductory SmartPLS workshops.

Each of these 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.

These workshops present instructional material and demonstrate exercises (with provided data sets) appropriate for new and intermediate PLS Path Modeling (SEM) users. 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-  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.
