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.

For more information about the CFP and submission details please visit the conference websitehttp://sigite2020.sigite.org/ or review the PDFhttps://www.unomaha.edu/college-of-information-science-and-technology/sigite2020/call-for-papers/cfp-poster.php. 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.
