Membership
& Courses are FREE
There is absolutely no cost for your university to become a CITE
member. By joining CITE, your institution will also have FREE access
to all courses developed through CITE. CITE is continually seeking
new university memberships, both nationally and internationally,
to increase the geographical span of graduate level ITS course offerings
and thus add to the number of ITS trained college students entering
the work force. How to become a Partner>

Technical Assistance
CITE will train one university representative on the procedures
and techniques for administering courses. CITE is also developing
a "Course User's Manual" for CITE partners. It describes
alternative instructional techniques currently being used by CITE
members, such as, hybrid instruction in which CITE and classroom
course modules are alternated. All members offering CITE's courses
will be forwarded a copy upon its completion.
Networking
Opportunities
Join a growing network of more than 70 other prestigious universities
worldwide who are partnering in this program and reaping the
benefits. University Partners have the opportunity to interact with
other institutions interested in providing ITS instruction. As an
easy way to exchange ITS-related Training
and Education information, CITE has established an e-mail group
for its partners. Participants have direct e-mail access to their
peers and can ask questions about information needed or provide
advice to others.
Flexible
and Easily Accessible
All of CITE's courses have been developed using an interactive web-based
format. Web-based training is a form of distance learning and means
CITE's courses are all available via the Internet, accessible 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. Interactivity in the courses is provided
through a stimulating mix of participatory activities, such as simulations,
self-study quizzes, drag-and-drop pages, crossword puzzles, and
jeopardy games. These activities help support and reinforce the
text-based information and keep students engaged and active in the
learning process.
Constantly
Expanding Curriculum
CITE has a total of 34 courses available.
This number includes two
semester-long courses, 25 individual short courses, and five
Spanish-language courses. CITE's current curriculum includes courses
in
Information Technology, Traffic Engineering, Project Management
and
Systems Engineering.
Assist
in Course Development
All of CITE's courses have been and will continue to be developed
by faculty members from its University Partners. As a partner, you
can help create a future course curriculum.
"At universities with small graduate programs... [CITE] allowed
us to offer a course that goes beyond the expertise of our faculty,
and is cost effective."
