Registration is now open for the 26th annual Conference on Instruction and Technology (CIT), which will be held Tuesday, May 30, to Friday, June 2, on the campus of SUNY Oneonta. 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 2017, "Teaching and Learning in Multiple Dimensions," is supported by the following tracks:

• Diverse Learners, Diverse Learning Styles
• Post-Traditional Learners/Lifelong Learning/Career Retooling/Career Credentialing
• Student Success: Retention and Remediation
• Professional Partnerships
• Iterative Journeys

Teaching and Learning in Multiple Dimensions challenges presenters to demonstrate how they strategically use tools, media, and pedagogy to stimulate learners to respond with greater cognitive gain. As we seek more effective ways to deliver content to our students, encourage engagement, measure learning outcomes, and foster completion, we discover an ever-widening spectrum of unique circumstances, each requiring insight and sensitivity. Meeting these unique needs is often a process of experimentation and exploration that requires patience and fortitude. This, coupled with the continued growth and sophistication in the areas of gamification and virtual reality, offers new dimensions in teaching and learning.

Register early and save. Full registration is $250 for SUNY participants who register before Sunday, May 14. After May 14, registration will increase to $300. Please see the list of fees and additional registration options.

Scholarships are available. The SUNY Faculty Advisory Council on Teaching and Technology (FACT²) will award a limited number of $50 scholarships to attend CIT. A Statement of Interest indicating why the applicant should be considered for a FACT2 Scholarship must be sent to Nancy Motondo, conference director, by Wednesday, April 19. A limited number of scholarships for registration will be made available by Buffalo State's Resources for Information, Technology, and Education (RITE).
