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 2009-2010 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program is available until September 18, 2009. After September 18, 2009, future members pay $975.00. Access to the CARMA Video Library begins at the time of registration and ends on September 1st, 2010. 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, registered CARMA users from 2009-2010 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program member organizations will receive a 50% discount for 2010 CARMA Short Courses.

For a university that is a member of the 2009-2010 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program, all faculty and students are eligible to view, as a group, a series of ten lectures per program year by nationally recognized methodologists. Eeach lecture is 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 by the group of faculty and students from a classroom or computer lab with an internet connection and a projection device for a large screen. The webcast will be streamed using RealPlayer (from Real Media). This software is available at the CARMA website (a link to software publisher's website). During the webcast viewers are welcome 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) are free to attend the webcast presentation in that same classroom. 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 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 now includes 52 recorded versions of additional webcast lectures originally presented at CARMA during previous Consortium Program years.

The process through which a university becomes a 2009-2010 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program member begins with becoming a CARMA Website User. Only registered CARMA Website Users can access the Webcast Program registration process. If you are not a registered CARMA Website User, click here. The registration process 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  Live 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).

Accessing  the CARMA Video Library (up)

In addition to having access to the live webcast sessions, organizations participating in the 2009-2010 Consortium Webcast Program also have access to recorded versions of the ten lectures mentioned above and to 52 webcast lectures originally presented at CARMA during the 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008 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 prior to the event. They may be accessed by individual faculty and graduate students who are registered CARMA Website Users from 2009-2010 CARMA Consortium Webcast Program member organization. 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."
