Location: Gleacher Center, Chicago
Instructors: Susan
Embretson and Steve Reise
With the new, Windows versions of our IRT products BILOG-MG,
MULTILOG, PARSCALE, and TESTFACT now available, SSI is proud
to announce an IRT workshop presented by Susan Embretson,
Georgia Institute of Technology, and Steve Reise, UCLA.
Both presenters earned their PhD in Psychometrics at the
University of Minnesota and recently co-authored the well-received
book "Item Response Theory for Psychologists" (2000;
Lawrence Erlbaum).
Each participant will receive the Embretson/Reise book, the
new "IRT from SSI" (2003) book that describes SSI's
four IRT products, as well as a CD with temporary licenses
of the full editions of those
four programs. Although not essential, participants should
bring a laptop computer to be able to work along with the
presenters during the illustrative sessions.
Note that the third day consists of sessions presented by
SSI staff (as indicated in parentheses) demonstrating the
use of the IRT programs in detail.
