CIT 2021 is underway and for the first time, it's virtual!

CIT is SUNY’s largest and most prominent event on instruction and technology, 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 this year is, "Working Together to Prepare all Students for a Lifetime of Learning" and is being attended by more than 63 colleges (54 SUNY), with over 75 main presenters and more than 500 attendees.

While we aren't able to meet in person this year, we are hopeful for 2022 and are happy to report that the programming is stronger than ever.

We would also like to recognize this year's FACT2 2021 Excellence Award Winners - thank you for your hard work and dedication to your students and institution! 

- Lisa Raposo, Interim Director

The SUNY CPD OTTER (Online Teaching: Technology and Educational Resources) Institute is an opportunity for online practitioners to learn more about the innovations, trends, and challenges with online education; see examples of best practices and learn about tools to create and deliver effective and engaging online course content, strengthen your understanding of accessibility and equity issues and see how to build courses with both in mind as you develop and deliver a truly inclusive course.

Join us on Friday, June 11 at 11 AM ET to learn how LinkedIn is partnering with SUNY institutions to close skills, opportunity and network gaps on campuses. This session will detail how a partnership can aid students with guided career pathways and key, transferrable career-readiness skills, and offer valuable insights on student outcomes, in-demand skills and labor markets.

The SUNY Center for Professional Development and the SUNY Career Development Office Community of Practice have developed the framework for a Career Readiness Champion Certificate Program. The overarching goal of the program is to help faculty and staff on college campuses to learn the competencies (knowledge and skills) needed to create a campus culture focused on supporting students in planning for a career. The expected start date for the program is January 2022. 

Through Microsoft’s Enterprise Skills Initiative (ESI) program, the SUNY CPD has contracted with a 3rd party vendor (NetCom Learning) to offer various eligible Microsoft classes (mostly focusing on Azure and other cloud based skills) for $500 or less. These classes are similar to the classes that you can access online directly through the Microsoft ESI program portal but they are offered through online learning platform and are live classes with an instructor teaching it.
