The 21st ACM Annual Conference on Information Technology Education
(SIGITE) and Covid-19 Pandemic
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It has been quite a couple of weeks. The world is facing an
unprecedented time, and we greatly appreciate your understanding
and flexibility as the situation continually changes. We recognize
that many of you are dealing with the stress associated with
unplanned changes, remote work, remote teaching and/or learning,
health care considerations, and the care and concern for your
loved ones. As we all prepare to navigate the days ahead, we want
to take a moment to make sure that, in this extraordinarily
stressful time, we continue reminding ourselves that the routine
stuff we are used to also continue. We believe it is essential to
our mental health as a society and the ongoing intellectual
enterprise we conduct in our fields of interest is one essential
component of that.
With that said, at this time we are continuing to plan for the
21st ACM Annual Conference on Information Technology Education at
Omaha in October (October 7 - 9, 2020). We will keep you informed
of decisions about alternative modes of conducting the conference
if the covid-19 pandemic continues to impact travel and gatherings
such as ours. Our paper submission deadline is set for June 1 and
we encourage you to get your work ready to submit.

Also, if you would like to be an academic or industry sponsor of
the conference, we have a variety of opportunities to engage on
the "supporters" page of the web site.

About SIGITE Annual Conferences and SIGITE2020 @ Omaha:
The conference is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group for
Information Technology Education (SIGITE). The conference provides
a forum for sharing and developing ideas relating to Information
Technology (IT) research, education, applications, IT
industry-academia relationships, and our roles as professionals,
educators, teachers, and advocates for the effective use of
information technology. IT as a professional endeavor is
influenced by multiple disciplines - computer science, information
systems, management science, cognitive science, psychology,
learning, and much more. Consequently, educators at all levels
(secondary school through University) have to deal with challenges
of emergent areas of study such as IT innovation, Human Computer
Interaction (HCI), Human Machine Interaction (HMI), Cybersecurity,
Agile Software Engineering, Social Informatics, Artificial
Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and much more.
We invite university faculty, instructors, K-12 educators,
community colleges, corporate and public sector, and all others
interested in IT education and research to participate in this
conference. We welcome submissions in the following categories:
Papers, panels, workshops, extended abstracts and big ideas in IT
education.
