Registration is now open for the 25th annual Conference on Instruction and Technology (CIT), which will be held Tuesday, May 31, to Friday, June 3. Hosted by SUNY Potsdam, CIT is SUNY's largest and most prominent event on instructional technology in educating, providing a forum for faculty, instructional support professionals, and policymakers to present, discuss, and explore innovative avenues for integrating technology into the teaching and learning environment.

The theme for CIT 2016, "Students at the Center: Creating and Sharing Learning Experiences," is supported by the following tracks:

• Open Educational Resources: Strategies, Advantages, and Savings for Students and Faculty in Practice
• Engaging Students: Tools and Strategies
• Inquiry: Scholarship, Discovery, and Innovation
• Student and Faculty Support: Access and Accessibility
• Going Mobile

Students at the Center focuses on the student experience and student performance. What is it like to experience different teaching strategies, styles, and methods of assessment? How have students responded to different modalities of learning (e.g., online learning, face-to-face, hybrid, and MOOC)? What additional strategies, tools, and services are students asking for, and what do they need, to stay in their courses, be engaged, and have a successful learning experience? How are evolving technology and shifting paradigms in education affecting the design and development of teaching and learning strategies? How is mobile technology transforming traditional learning spaces?

Register early and save. Registration is $200 for SUNY participants who register between now and May 15. After May 15, registration will increase to $250. Please see the list of fees.

Scholarships are available. SUNY Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching and Technology (FACT²) will award a limited number of $50 scholarships to attend CIT.
