The CARMA Consortium Webcast Program is established to provide university faculty, graduate students, and other researchers with advanced training in research methods and data analysis. To participate in this training, a university becomes a member of the CARMA Consortium Webcast Program. The early registration fee of $850.00 for the 2008-2009 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program is available until June 2nd, 2008. After June 2nd, 2008, future members pay $975.00. Access to the CARMA Video Library begins at the time of registration and ends on September 1st, 2009. The membership fee is refundable at any time during the year if a participating university is not satisfied with the program (prorated fee applies). In addition, university faculty, graduate students, and other researchers from 2008-2009 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program organizations will receive a 50% discount for 2009 CARMA Short Courses.

For a university that is a member of the 2008-2009 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program, all faculty and students are eligible to view a series of ten lectures per program year by nationally recognized methodologists, with each lecture delivered live (with video and audio) over the internet. These lectures are targeted for an advanced doctoral student level and will typically include an introduction to the topic as well as a consideration of current technical issues. Emphasis is placed on the application of the research method technique. Prior to each lecture, background readings references and powerpoint slides for the presentation will be available on the CARMA website.

It is expected that the webcasts will typically be viewed from a classroom or computer lab with an internet connection and a projection device for a large screen. The webcast can be viewed with multimedia software (Real Media Player), and this software will be available if needed from the CARMA website (a link to software publisher's website). Viewers will be able to submit questions by email. Presenters will respond to these questions as part of the webcast at the end of their formal lecture (all questions are read without mentioning the sender's name).

Each participating university will be allowed only one access point for each live webcast, but there is no limit as to how many faculty and/or students may view the webcast from the classroom with the access point. Faculty and students from different academic units on campus (e.g. business and psychology) can share the same access point. Recorded versions of the lectures will also be posted on the CARMA Video Library within two weeks after each lecture is given. Faculty and students from Consortium universities will have individual access to these recorded versions at any time from any machine, as long as they are are registered CARMA Website Users and they use an email address provided by the organization. For example, if a person is a Virginia Commonwealth University student, he/she must first register as a CARMA Website User using their VCU email address (which always ends with vcu.edu)..

Finally, in addition to having access to the live and recorded versions of the ten lectures mentioned above, universities participating in the Consortium Webcast Program will also have access to the CARMA Video Library, which includes 36 recorded versions of additional webcast lectures originally presented at CARMA during previous Consortium Program years.

Becoming a 2008-2009 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program Member (up)

The process through which a university becomes a 2008-2009 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program member begins with the completion of the Registration Form available on the CARMA website. Only registered CARMA Website Users can access the Webcast Program Registration Form. If you are not a registered CARMA Website User, click here. The Registration Form requires identification of an Academic Contact (who will be the contact person for receiving information related to the content of the webcasts and distributing it to faculty and students), a Technical Contact (who will be the contact person for internet access related information), and a Fiscal Contact (who will be the contact person for billing and payment issues). The Registration Form also indicates which method of payment will be used, including options for credit card, purchase order, or invoice. Click here to Register for the CARMA Consortium Webcast Program.

Accessing Webcast Program Sessions (up)

On the day of each live webcast, universities are asked to log on to the CARMA website from their chosen access point 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. Each organization connects using only one machine. Click here to learn how to connect to live webcast sessions (CARMA Consortium Webcast Program members only).

In addition to having access to the live webcast sessions, organizations participating in the 2008-2009 Consortium Webcast Program also have access to recorded versions of the ten lectures mentioned above and to twenty-six additional webcast lectures originally presented at CARMA during the 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2006-2007, and 2008-2009 academic years. They may be accessed by individual faculty and students as long as they are registered CARMA Website Users and they use an email address provided by their organization. For example, if a person is a Virginia Commonwealth University student, he/she must register using their VCU email address (which always ends with @vcu.edu). Click here to learn how to access the video library (CARMA Consortium Webcast Program members only).

Webcast Readings and PowerPoint Slides (up)

For each webcast event, bibliographic references to background readings and files with powerpoint slides will be available around one week prior to the event. They may be accessed by individual faculty and graduate students (at no charge) as long as they are registered CARMA Website Users. To access the readings, a person must first login as a user on the CARMA Website User Area. On the CARMA Website User Area, there is a link that reads "Webcast Readings". By clicking on it, the person will be directed to the readings page. Click here to access the Webcast Readings and PowerPoint slides.
