SEM

History of SEM (rather slow, but good if you are interested in why things are done the way they are) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc8zyly5wJs

Lengthy course on SEM:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKkESdyMG9w

A short introduction to SEM (I find this one harder to follow than the one above, but it is less than one fourth the length: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMj9MfafyV0

Why use SEM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m4ag3WQcCw

Episode 1 of a longer course done by the same people as the one above, The whole series runs about 2 hours.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHFrgp3SQMI

Yet another introduction - this one provides a better explanation of latent variables:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfogToduqGQ
