The Conference on Instructioonal Technologies was established in 1992 by the SUNY FACT Advisory Committee to provide faculty and instructional support professionals with an opportunity to come together to share experiences and expertise, discuss common problems, brainstorm solutions, and explore innovative avenues for improving the learning environments with technology. CIT is held annually on a SUNY campus, thus creating an informal atmosphere of sharing and networking among colleagues.
