COVID-19 Update (5-18-2020)

The 21st ACM Annual Conference on Information Technology Education (SIGITE) and Covid-19 Pandemic – SIGITE2020 GOES VIRTUAL (October 7 - 9, 2020)

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

It has been quite a couple of months. 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 must 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 Covid-19 situation not abating, the SIGITE Executive Board has decided to move the 21st ACM Annual Conference on Information Technology Education at Omaha to a completely VIRTUAL mode. In view of that, we will also be offering substantially REDUCED registration rates that cover all our costs. We expect to reduce student/research scholar and K-12 teacher registration costs for the conference to somewhere in the $10-$25 range. We our also extending our paper submission deadline June 15th, 2020 and we encourage you to get your work submitted as soon as possible.

We once again 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. All papers will still go through a peer review process and create an official ACM proceedings for full papers and abstracts.

For more information about the CFP and submission details please review the CFP. 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.
