What is CITD?

SAIT has a long history and broad reputation for developing flexible, technical and technology based workplace training and certification for job entry and career development. SAIT is aggressively reshaping itself to become part of a select class as a premier degree granting polytechnic.

SAIT has recognized the need for leadership and support through the Centre for Instructional Technology and Development (CITD) is a key factor in the pursuit of this long term goal. CITD has the capability to respond to the future demands resulting from the requirement to change and enhance the SAIT curricula to meet the accreditation requirements of a degree granting polytechnic institution and the increased focus on provincial, national and international access to SAIT distance education content and accreditation.

The Centre for Instructional Technology and Development also establishes leadership and support in the area of Faculty Development. Like many other post secondary institutions experiencing the same demographic pressure, SAIT will aggressively try to recruit and retain new, highly qualified faculty. Central to the retention strategy is the comprehensive pre-service and in-service development and support services provided through CITD.

Focus on technology supported and delivered curriculum and faculty development services provides the cornerstone of the operations and is inherent in our name, the Centre for Instructional Technology and Development.
