I think webinars could work, but I think we'd have to be extremely careful to not be exclusive, topics like discipline and irb could be exclusive, whereas tools, methods, theories, ethics, and similar are less likely to be exclusive. here i am thinking about how to actually recognize the international/interdisciplinary nature of our work and how to best share that. I also think we might be able to reprise this sort of thing: http://www.cddc.vt.edu/aoir/2000/seminar/index.html On Jun 1, 2013, at 10:24 AM, Michael Zimmer <zimmerm@uwm.edu> wrote:
Is there interest in having AoIR-sponsored topical webinars? The association could invest in a GoToMeeting or WebEx platform (or get an institution to sponsor), select 4 topics per year (focusing on discipline, method, theory, IRBs, tools, etc), and then invite members with expertise to provide mini presentations, opening up for discussion, etc.
