The non-profit Georgia R School is offering a dozen different live, online, synchronous five-week workshops using R and PLS software (see list below) over the next 12 months. They are offering pre-registration during the month of October only for any two of these courses for: $345 (students); $445 (faculty); and $495 (practitioners). All classes are live (in real time), synchronous, and interactive with high-quality duplex audio and video capabilities. All courses are recorded and the permanent audio- and video recordings are provided to the course participants at no extra cost. There is much more detail about the content, structure and presentation of all of the courses at http://georgia-r-school.org/Courses.html.
Courses are offered on a continual rotating basis. Courses follow a five week format (first 2 hour class is a 'pre-session' and four remaining 3-hour classes are on same time and day for four more weeks). Courses are conducted in both the AM and PM to accommodate different geographic locations and time zones.
