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.
