CIT 2000 Preliminary Announcement and Call for Presentations New Partners/New Possibilities May 30, 31, and June 1, 2000 At University at Buffalo Ninth Annual SUNY FACT Conference on Instructional Technologies CIT 2000: A Continuing Forum on Instructional Technology in SUNY for Faculty, Instructional Support Professionals, and Policymakers. Call for Presentations Academic Papers - 20 minute presentations Demonstrations - 75 minute sessions Panels - 75 minute panels Poster Sessions/Technology Showcase Conference Workshops (half day) Presentations are sought for the Conference on Instructional Technologies (CIT), sponsored by SUNY Faculty Access to Computing Technologies (FACT) and hosted by University at Buffalo on May 30, 31, and June 1, 2000. Faculty, professional support staff, administrators, and librarians from all SUNY campuses, including state-operated, statutory, and community colleges are eligible to submit abstracts and to receive FACT scholarships to attend this conference. This year, individuals from outside the SUNY System are welcome to submit proposals but will not be eligible to receive FACT scholarships. New Partners/New Possibilities Implementing instructional technologies for higher education develops exciting new possibilities for creative collaborations. Technology provides new opportunities for cooperation in the traditional classroom as well as for distance learning. These include student-student, student-faculty, and faculty-faculty communications but also extend to the cooperation of different departments and different campuses. The format of these interactions ranges from face-to-face through synchronous or asynchronous electronic communications. In addition, technology is encouraging academic institutions to develop innovative partnerships with other levels of education, with professional organizations, and with commercial enterprises. Some of these, especially commercial partnerships, may appear to be compromising but it is clearly important to explore these options. In the coming decade, colleges may find themselves working closely with a broad range of nontraditional partners, including software, telecommunications, publications, and media providers. The goal of this Conference on Instructional Technologies is to encourage SUNY professionals to report on their efforts to explore these new options as well as to offer a forum for discussing new possibilities that can expand the accessibility and quality of our institutions. Considering this year's theme, proposals should address one or more of the following:
Collaboration: (examples) Developing Non-Traditional Partners Leadership (campus vision) Assessment Creativity Pedagogy Implementation Presenters should encourage interaction and discussion among participants. In presentations involving specific software programs or technological applications, a hands-on approach for the audience should be considered. Scholarships The primary author of each accepted academic paper and poster session is awarded a presenter scholarship. Primary presenters for each accepted demonstration session, panel, and conference workshop are awarded presenter scholarships. The presenter scholarship covers registration, meals, and up to two nights lodging at the University at Buffalo campus. Presenters are responsible for their own travel expenses. Co-authors not eligible for a presenter scholarship should plan to apply for a general conference scholarship, which will be announced in February 2000. Members of the SUNY Training Center who do not receive a general conference scholarship can use their training points, if available.
