NEW SPECIAL FOCUS!
Each year, Track One focuses on an emerging technology believed to be of particular interest to educators. For the 2005 CIT, the special focus for Track One is Gaming and Simulations and Their Implications for Community Colleges . As increasing numbers of faculty members use games and simulations to support learning and more and more community colleges create gaming and simulations academic programs, what are the pros and cons educators should consider? Proposals targeted toward this focus area should encourage an exchange of ideas about how community colleges can anticipate and meet future educational, training, and organizational needs related to gaming and simulations. Although gaming and simulations are the special focus of the 2005 CIT, "https://www.league.org/2005cit/win/win_special_interest.htm" \\t "_blank" other proposal topics related to the use of information technology at community and technical colleges are strongly encouraged.
