AERA’s Virtual Research Learning Series offers nine professional development courses on a breadth of topics. Taught by leading experts in the field, the series runs from May through September 2020. All courses will include interaction, active discussion, and Q&A with participants. 

Registration for all courses opens May 5. To maximize access to these courses for education researchers during these challenging times, AERA is charging only a modest fee of only $35 each. Registration includes not only the four-hour real-time class experience but also continued on-demand access to the recorded course through the AERA Virtual Research Learning Center (VRLC). 

The courses focus on skill development in implementing statistical techniques, communicating and writing research, qualitative research methods, and other research capacity–building areas. Designed to reach participants at multiple skill levels, the courses are appropriate for graduate students, early career scholars, and other researchers who seek to increase their knowledge and enhance research skills.
