About CIT

The Center for Instruction and Technology is a teaching, learning, and research facility designed to provide USF faculty, staff, and students with access to the tools for the successful integration of technology into today's classroom.

The CIT originated in 1984 as the teaching lab for the Master of Arts in Educational Technology (MAT) program. Today, we has expanded to host university-wide faculty, staff and student training, and support for many special projects, including the establishment of the university's first wireless smart classroom, access to state of the art multimedia technologies, and a teaching and learning facility that supports the university's initiatives to integrate technology into the curriculum. We offer demonstrations and workshops on the latest technology solutions for higher education by maintaining a highly-active training schedule on enterprise, desktop productivity, web-based, graphics and design, and multimedia applications.

The Center maintains three computer training labs  located in the lower lever of School of Education on Turk Street. Our labs are open to the public and are often used as classrooms for teaching technology. For inquiries, please email cit@usfca.edu.

The CIT's Programs Currently Include:

• Support of all School of Education (SOE) offerings in Educational Technology (including the Master of Arts in Digital Media and Learning, the program which founded the CIT).
• Support of university-wide faculty and staff training in information technologies.
• Support of School of Education projects and research in Educational Technology.
