[AISWorld] Online PLS Path Modeling Certificate using SmartPLS through Virginia Commonwealth University

[Geoffrey Hubona]

The Center for Corporate Education (CCE), funded by the School of Business
at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) is offering a non-credit,
continuing education, advanced certificate in PLS Path Modeling beginning
January 10, 2011. This certificate is intended for faculty, practitioners
and graduate students who wish to learn more about PLS path modeling in both
breadth and depth. SmartPLS is the software platform (version 3.0 when
available, scheduled for release in 2010).

The online certificate program, conducted over a 3- to 6-month period, will
include much new content relating to PLS path modeling. Also, the online
class sessions are scheduled in both the mornings and evenings to
accommodate different schedules and time zones. Each participant’s schedule
may be individually customized, based on changing schedule requirements for
that participant. The goal is to allow maximum flexibility for each
participant to complete the eight class sessions and other certificate
requirements. Please email Geoff Hubona at ghubona at vcu.edu for details
regarding these customization options or for other questions about the
certificate program.

In addition to 28 hours of live, synchronous, interactive, real-time,
in-class, instructor-led sessions (there are eight 3.5 hour online sessions
in all), there are ‘homework’ assignments (that are assessed by the
instructor, at your option), labs to meet and discuss various data modeling
requirements (including your own), assessment exercises, other PLS-expert
guest speakers (in addition to the instructor), and access to much recent
and relevant PLS literature. All electronic classroom sessions are recorded
and provided to each participant.

complete audio- and video- recordings . A certificate in PLS path modeling
